+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+1. Introduction
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This is a complete distribution of emTeX. It replaces the previous
+official emTeX distribution as well as all previous betatest packages.
+
+IMPORTANT: See CHANGES.ENG for changes with respect to the previous
+emTeX distribution. See INSTALL.ENG for the general installation
+instructions. See QUICK.ENG for quick installation instructions.
+However, using the installation program (install.exe) is recommended.
+
+IMPORTANT: Please use the new font library files (such as lj_base.fli)
+instead of the old ones (such as lj_0.fli through lj_5b.fli) as the
+Computer Modern font sources and the METAFONT modes have changed.
+
+The emTeX distribution includes the TeX typesetter, the METAFONT font
+generation program, printer drivers, screen previewers, and tools like
+BibTeX and MakeIndex. It also includes the macro packages LaTeX 2.09
+and LaTeX2e. Fonts are included as pixel files and METAFONT source
+files.
+
+Documentation for the TeX and METAFONT `programming languages' is not
+included. You can get appropriate books at libraries and book stores.
+However, the emTeX distribution includes documentation for the emTeX
+implementations of TeX and METAFONT.
+
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+2. Installing emTeX
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+You'll find the general installation instructions in INSTALL.ENG.
+You'll find quick installation instructions in QUICK.ENG. You can
+avoid reading INSTALL.ENG and QUICK.ENG by using the installation
+program (install.exe)!
+
+You might want to print INSTALL.ENG file by typing
+
+ copy a:\install.eng prn
+
+or print QUICK.ENG by typing
+
+ copy a:\quick.eng prn
+
+(You don't need to print README.ENG.)
+
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+3. Getting help
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+You'll find some frequently asked questions with answers in
+\emtex\doc\english\help.eng. Before asking, you should read that
+file. Some don't like to be asked questions that are answered in
+help.eng.
+
+There is an electronic mailing list, emtex-user, for emTeX. To get
+information on how to subscribe and unsubscribe, send a message
+containing
+
+ HELP
+ INFO EMTEX-USER
+
+in the body to majordomo@physik.tu-berlin.de.
