+ LaTeX Distribution Guide
+
+ 2003/12/01
+
+
+WELCOME TO LaTeX!
+
+This file contains a brief distribution guide for the latest standard
+version of the LaTeX document preparation system.
+
+This system is maintained by The LaTeX3 Project Team.
+
+ ********************************************************
+ * Please read this file carefully because it gives *
+ * important information about other documentation *
+ * provided with the LaTeX system that will help you *
+ * in installing and using it. *
+ ********************************************************
+
+ ********************************************************
+ * The files ltnews*.tex (and ltnews*.dvi, .ps, .pdf) *
+ * contain the LaTeX newsletters, the highest number *
+ * being the most recent. *
+ * *
+ * Please print this latest edition and distribute it *
+ * to all users ... and to anyone else who may be *
+ * interested. *
+ * *
+ * It normally fits onto a single sheet, so it can be *
+ * displayed as a poster. *
+ ********************************************************
+
+
+The LaTeX system is described in:
+
+ * LaTeX: A Document Preparation System; Leslie Lamport, Addison-Wesley
+
+ * The LaTeX Companion, 2ed; Mittelbach and Goossens with Braams,
+ Carlisle and Rowley, Addison-Wesley
+
+ * Guide to LaTeX 4ed; Kopka and Daly, Addison-Wesley
+
+
+This distribution is described in the files ending with .txt. You
+should read install.txt before starting to install LaTeX.
+
+Here is a brief description of some of these files:
+
+ * 00readme.txt is this file.
+
+ * manifest.txt lists all the files in the LaTeX distribution
+ with one line information about their contents.
+
+ * install.txt describes how to install LaTeX.
+
+ * tex2.txt contains important information for users of extremely
+ old versions of TeX (pre 1990).
+
+ * autoload.txt describes a variant of LaTeX that is no longer supported.
+
+ * unpacked.txt lists all the files in the unpacked LaTeX distribution.
+
+ * legal.txt and lppl.txt describe the LaTeX copyright, warranty and
+ copying restrictions.
+
+ * patches.txt describes the update policy and how important changes
+ will be distributed between release dates.
+
+ * texpert.txt contains information about the installation that is
+ useful for TeX experts.
+
+ * bugs.txt describes how to submit a bug report for LaTeX.
+
+
+Other documentation files include files with names of the form:
+
+ <xxx>guide.tex
+
+You will probably need to update your system before you can typeset
+these files. Each file needs three LaTeX runs.
+
+
+The following files also contain useful information:
+
+ * ltx3info.tex gives you some information about the LaTeX3 project.
+
+ * the other files ltnews*.* are the news files from previous releases:
+ these contain useful information but be warned that some of it may
+ be out-of-date as these files are never changed.
+

+distribution unless you rename them, *except* for certain
+files such as the configuration files, ending with .cfg.
+Please see the licence (in lppl.txt) for further details.
+
+
+Please do not request updates from us. Distribution is done only
+through the CTAN archives.
