But please +read kpathsea/BUGS first. (That file also tells you how to join the +mailing list yourself, and how to receive announcements only.) + +For general documentation on the coding and usage standards this +distribution follows, see the GNU standards document +http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards, especially the `Makefile +Conventions', `Configuration', and `User Interfaces' sections. + +The files in the etc/ directory are present for informational purposes. +They are not used or installed by the programs. For example, a copy of +texinfo.tex is there in case you want to produce DVI files from the +Texinfo manuals. + +If you know enough about TeX to be reading this, then you (or your +institution) should consider joining the TeX Users Group. (If you're +already a member, thanks!)
