+ LaTeX Distribution Guide
+
+ 2015/10/01
+
+
+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 contains *
+ * important information about other sources of *
+ * documentation related to this LaTeX system, *
+ * including what is contained in this distribution. *
+ ********************************************************
+
+ ********************************************************
+ * The files ltnews*.tex (and related files in the *
+ * document folder) 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. *
+ ********************************************************
+
+
+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.
+
+Here is a brief description of some of these files:
+
+ * readme.txt is this file.
+
+ * manifest.txt lists all the files in this LaTeX distribution,
+ with one line of information about the contents.
+
+ * unpacked.txt lists all the files in the unpacked LaTeX distribution.
+
+ * legal.txt and lppl.txt (LaTeX Project Public License) describe the
+ LaTeX copyright, warranty and copying restrictions.
+
+ * patches.txt describes the how important changes will be distributed
+ between releases.
+
+ * texpert.txt contains information about the system that may still be
+ useful for TeX experts.
+
+ * 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.
+
+ * 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. Some of these are
+also available as PDF files.
+
+
+The following files contain further information:
+
+ * ltx3info.tex gives you some historical information about the LaTeX3
+ project.
+
+ * the older 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.
+
+ * manual.err lists errata in:
+ LaTeX: A Document Preparation System; Leslie Lamport, Addison-Wesley
+
+ * tlc2.err lists errata in:
+ The LaTeX Companion 2ed; Mittelbach, Goossens et al, Addison-Wesley
+
+ * bl2.err lists errata in:
+ Der LaTeX-Begleiter 2ed; Mittelbach, Goossens et al, Addison-Wesley
+
+ * grphcomp.err lists errata in:
+ The LaTeX Graphics Companion; Goossens, Rahtz, and Mittelbach,
+ Addison-Wesley
+
+ * webcomp.err lists errata in:
+ The LaTeX Web Companion; Goossens and Rahtz, Addison-Wesley
+
+
+We no longer distribute installation instructions for the various TeX
+implementations. Unless you have a custom-built TeX system, some
+version of standard LaTeX should already be installed on your system;
+look at the system documentation, or ask your system supplier, to
+discover how to update the LaTeX part of the system.
+
+Please do not request updates from us. Distribution is done only through the
+CTAN archives.
