By itself, it is not a complete, +ready-to-run, TeX distribution (I recommend teTeX for that, available on +CTAN:/systems/tetex). Nor is it a general-purpose Pascal-to-C or +WEB-to-C translator. + +Web2c is electronically distributed in two files: the web files, in +web.tar.gz, and the Web2c-specific files, in web2c.tar.gz. If you +already have the web files for a particular Knuthian version, you need +not re-retrieve them. Web2c changes irregularly wrt Knuth's updates. + +See `NEWS' for changes by release, `ChangeLog` for all changes. +See `INSTALL' for installation instructions. +See `PROJECTS' for future improvements you might like to work on. +See `../kpathsea/BUGS' for details on reporting bugs. + +If present, see etexdir/README, omegadir/README, and pdftexdir/README +for details on building those packages. + +Web2c is free software. The files I wrote (originally for the Free +Software Foundation) are covered by the GNU General Public License -- +see the file COPYING. Knuth's original sources are covered by their +own copyright -- see the beginning of tex.web, mf.web, etc. You can get +the original files on their own from CTAN:/systems/knuth; you can get +MetaPost from ftp://netlib.att.com/netlib/research/metapost.tar.Z +(see also http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/hobby/MetaPost.html). + +kb@mail.tug.org +Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- write lpf@uunet.uu.net. + +olaf@infovore.xs4all.nl -- cgit v1.2.3
