-pdfTeX
-======
+pdfTeX is an extended version of eTeX that can create PDF directly from
+TeX source files and enhance the result of TeX typesetting with the help
+of PDF. When PDF output is not selected, pdfTeX produces normal DVI
+output, otherwise it produces PDF output that looks essentially
+identical to the DVI output. An important aspect of this project is to
+investigate alternative justification algorithms.
-README for version 3.1415926-1.40.11
-====================================
-
-This directory contains the version 1.40.11 of pdfTeX, an extended version
-of eTeX that can create PDF directly from TeX source files and enhance the
-result of TeX typesetting with the help of PDF. When PDF output is not
-selected, pdfTeX produces normal DVI output, otherwise it produces PDF
-output that looks identical to the DVI output. An important aspect of this
-project is to investigate alternative justification algorithms, optionally
-making use of multiple master fonts.
-
-pdfTeX is based on the original eTeX sources and Web2c, and has been
-successfully compiled on Unix, Win32 and DOS systems. It is no longer
-under active development and only bug fixes are to be expected; it produces
-reasonable PDF code.
