-========================================================

-This directory contains the version 1.30.4 of pdfTeX, an extended version of
-TeX 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

-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.
