+               LaTeX installation TeX2 information
+
+                       16 September 1995
+
+
+In order to make a LaTeX format and use it you need, in addition to
+the LaTeX source files, a TeX implementation.
+
+If your TeX is very old, prior to version TeX3, then certain features
+will be missing from your system. In particular, you will probably
+have no support for `8-bit' input and hyphenation of words with
+accented characters.
+
+Most (perhaps all) TeX implementations are available in versions that
+are at least as recent as TeX3 (released in 1989) so the best course
+of action is to update your TeX installation before building LaTeX.
+
+However, if you must for some reason make the LaTeX format by running
+the old TeX2 then it is necessary to have a `configuration file' named
+fonttext.cfg.  The existence of this file will prevent LaTeX trying to
+access 8-bit characters, which is not allowed in the old TeX2 version
+of TeX.
+
+If you fail to use such a configuration file, LaTeX will detect that it
+is running under TeX2 and stop with the following message (without
+making a format file):
+
+*************************************
+*
+* You MUST use a fonttext.cfg file!
+* As you are still using TeX2!!!!!!
+*
+* See the documentation file tex2.txt
+*
+*************************************
+
+
+There is more information about the file fonttext.cfg in the file
+cfgguide.tex; but for a minimal configuration that allows LaTeX to
+be built on TeX2, just do the following:
+
+ * Copy the standard fonttext.ltx file to fonttext.cfg
+ * Then edit the file fonttext.cfg as follows:
+   --  Change the \ProvidesFile call (see below).
+   --  Comment out all the lines referring to the `T1' encoding (but not
+       those referring to the `OT1' encoding).
+
+Thus the resulting file will look something like the following.
