+README for version 3.14159-1.30.4 of $Date: 2005/10/17 $
+========================================================
+
+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
+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.
+
+pdfeTeX is an even more extended version of TeX than pdfTeX because it is
+not based on TeX but on eTeX, an extended version of TeX.
+
+pdfTeX is based on the original TeX sources and Web2c, and has been
+successfully compiled on Unix, Win32 and DOS systems. It is still under
+development and features may change; it produces reasonable PDF code.
+
+See the file NEWS for changes to the program.
+
+Documentation about pdfTeX can be found at http://www.pdftex.org
+
+There is also a mailing list on pdfTeX; go to
+http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/pdftex for more information about it. Its
+searchable archive can be found at http://tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/
+Please read http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html before
+asking any questions on the pdfTeX mailing list.
+
+A mailing list for the developement of pdfTeX can be found at
