-`unixtex.ftp': Obtaining TeX
-============================
-
-This is `ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/unixtex.ftp', last updated 26 December
-2003. Also available as `http://www.tug.org/unixtex.ftp'. The IP
-address is currently `[130.225.2.178]'. It is also in Kpathsea source
-distributions as `etc/unixtex.ftp' (although the network version is
-usually newer). Mail <tex-k@mail.tug.org> with comments or questions.
-
- Following are general instructions for Unix or other sites who wish to
-acquire the Web2c distribution, (plain) TeX, LaTeX (2e), BibTeX,
-Metafont, MetaPost, DVI processors for the X window system, PostScript,
-the PCL language in the HP LaserJet, and related programs. They are
-oriented towards building from the original sources, though some
-information on alternative packages is included in the last section.
-See also `http://www.tug.org/web2c/', the Web2c and Kpathsea home page.
-
- Please note that the Web2c distribution is a bare-bones distribution
-in source form, and building a complete installation from it is a
-non-trivial matter. For most uses, it is a better idea to install a
-distribution with pre-packaged binaries for your platform. The
-principal example of such a distribution is TeX Live
-(`http://www.tug.org/texlive/'), which is based on the Web2c sources.
-
- Please consider joining the TeX Users Group (TUG) or another user
-group of your choice to help support the maintenance and development of
-the programs you retrieve. See `http://www.tug.org/join.html' for
-information and the membership registration form, and
-`http://www.tug.org/usergroups.html' for a listing of all user groups.
-
- For actual installation instructions after obtaining the necessary
-sources, see *Note Installation::. A copy is in the distribution file
-`kpathsea/INSTALL'.
-
-Electronic distribution
------------------------
-
-In many places we refer to CTAN:. This is _both_ a host name and a
-directory name. Here are the primary locations:
-
- `ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/' (Vermont, USA)
- `ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/' (Germany)
- `ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/' (England)
-
-CTAN has many mirrors worldwide; see the top-level file
-`README.mirrors' from one of the sites above or see
-`http://www.tug.org/CTAN.sites'.
-
- You can also access CTAN via the World Wide Web, electronic mail, or
-NFS. The same `README.mirrors' file explains how.
-
- You will need to retrieve some or all of the following archives,
-depending on your needs (don't forget to set binary mode for file
-transfers):
-
-`CTAN:/systems/web2c/web.tar.gz'
- The original WEB source files, written primarily by Don Knuth.
- Required unless you already have this `web' version. (The WEB
- sources change irregularly with respect to Web2c itself.) Unpacks
- into `web2c-VERSION'.
-
-`CTAN:/systems/web2c/web2c.tar.gz'
- The Web2c system. Required. Also unpacks into `web2c-VERSION'.
-
-`CTAN:/systems/web2c/web2c-etex.tar.gz'
- Additions to the Web2c system for building e-TeX. Optional.
- Unpacks into `web2c-VERSION'.
-
-`CTAN:/systems/web2c/etexlib.tar.gz'
- Additions to the texmf tree needed to build e-TeX. Optional.
- Unpacks into `texmf/'.
-
-`CTAN:/systems/web2c/etexdoc.tar.gz'
- Documentation for e-TeX as an addition to the texmf tree.
- Optional. Unpacks into `texmf/'.
-
-`CTAN:/systems/web2c/web2c-omega.tar.gz'
- Additions to the Web2c system for building Omega. Optional.
- Unpacks into `web2c-VERSION'.
-
-`CTAN:/systems/web2c/omegalib.tar.gz'
- Additions to the texmf tree needed to build Omega. Optional.
- Unpacks into `texmf/'.
-
-`CTAN:/systems/web2c/omegadoc.tar.gz'
- Documentation for Omega as an addition to the texmf tree.
- Optional. Unpacks into `texmf/'.
-
-`CTAN:/systems/web2c/web2c-pdftex.tar.gz'
- Additions to the Web2c system for building pdfTeX. Optional.
- Unpacks into `web2c-VERSION'.
-
-`CTAN:/systems/web2c/pdftexlib.tar.gz'
- Additions to the texmf tree needed to build pdfTeX. Optional.
- Unpacks into `texmf/'.
-
-`CTAN:/dviware/xdvik/xdvik.tar.gz'
- X window system DVI previewer. Unpacks into `xdvik-VERSION'.
- Optional.
-
- Additional drivers, macro files, and other support are needed to build
-a working system. These are available in teTeX.
-
- All that said, the originating host for the software above is
-`ftp.tug.org'. You can retrieve these distributions (but not much
-else) from the `tex/' directory on that host.
-
-CD-ROM distribution
--------------------
-
-Numerous organizations distribute various TeX CD-ROM's (and DVD's):
-
- * Virtually all the TeX user groups collaborate to produce the `TeX
- Live' distribution once a year; see `http://www.tug.org/texlive/'
- for more information.
-
- * The Free Software Foundation's `Source Code CD-ROM' contains the
- minimal TeX source distribution described in the previous section
- (i.e., enough to print GNU documentation); email <gnu@gnu.org>.
-
- * Most Linux distributions include some TeX package based on Web2c;
- see the Linux documentation file `Distribution-HOWTO' for a
- comparison of Linux distributions, available (for example) via
- `http://www.linux.org'.
-
- If you know of additional TeX distributions to add to this list,
-please inform <tex-k@mail.tug.org>.
-
-Other TeX packages
-------------------
-
-Many other TeX implementations are available in `CTAN:/systems',
-including ready-to-run distributions for Unix, Amiga, Acorn, VMS,
-Macintosh, DOS, and Windows (in various forms). Although Web2c has
-support in the source code for many operating systems, and in fact some
-of the other distributions are based on it, it's unlikely to work as
-distributed on anything but Unix. (Please contribute improvements!)
-
- The principal user-oriented Unix distribution based on Web2c is the
-teTeX distribution. It includes complete sources, and runs on all
-modern Unix variants, including Linux. It contains many TeX-related
-programs besides those in the core Web2c.
-
- The host labrea.stanford.edu is the original source for the files for
-which Donald Knuth is directly responsible: `tex.web', `plain.tex',
-etc. However, unless you want to build your TeX library tree ab initio,
-it is more reliable and less work to retrieve these files as part of
-the above packages. In any case, labrea is not the canonical source for
-anything except what was created by Stanford TeX project, so do not
-rely on all the files available at that ftp site being up-to-date.
