</HEAD><BODY>
<H1>The e-T<sub><big>E</big></sub>X Reference Site</H1>
Welcome to the <a href="#etex-orthography">e-TeX<sup>1</sup></a>
reference site: e-TeX V1.1 (the first production release) is now available for
general access; please read the document describing the
<a href="legal.html">legal status of e-TeX</a> before proceeding further.
A brief description of the functionality provided by e-TeX may be found in the
on-line <a href="etex_ref.html#NewFeatures">Reference Manual</a>.
<p>
The following resources are intended to be of use to e-TeX implementors, but
may be of interest to anyone considering using e-TeX; they be accessed directly
from the hyperlinks on this page, via
<a href="ftp://vms.rhbnc.ac.uk/e-TeX/">ftp</a>
(<code>ftp://vms.rhbnc.ac.uk/e-TeX/</code>), or via NFS using the pseudo-URL:
<code>nfs://vms.rhbnc.ac.uk/disk36/export/anonymous/e-TeX</code>.
<ul>
<li><a href="etex_ref.html">
The e-TeX reference manual</a>, abridged version
(<code>etex_ref.html</code>)
<li><a href="etex.ch">
The master e-TeX change file</a>
(<code>etex.ch</code>)
<li><a href="etex_gen.tex">

(<code>etex_gen.tex</code>)
<li><a href="webmerge.tex">WebMerge</a>,

(<code>webmerge.tex</code>)
<li><a href="xbmc10.mf">MetaFont source</a>,

(<code>xbmc10.mf</code>)
<li><a href="etex_gen.zip">A zip file</a>,
containing all of the above
(<code>etex_gen.zip</code>)
</ul>
The e-TeX team recommend that e-TeX be configured such that the command by
which it is invoked be the same as the default name for the format to be used.
Since it is expected that most sites will choose to install e-TeX so that it
can be invoked with the command "etex", we provide a source file which can be
used to build the "etex" format (an analogous "elatex" source file will be
provided in due course, ideally in collaboration with the
<a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/CTAN/latex/latex3.html">LaTeX3 team</a>).
A few adjunct source files, required or optionally used by the "etex" source
file, are also supplied:
<ul>
<li><a href="src/etex.src">
The "etex" format source</a>
(<code>etex.src</code>)
<li><a href="src/beta/etex.src">Beta-test "etex" format source</a>,
allows for single-read O/S's
(<code>etex.src</code>)
<li><a href="src/etex_src.html">
The manual for the "etex" format source</a>
(<code>etex_src.html</code>)
<li><a href="src/etexdefs.lib">e-TeX library file</a>
containing symbolic names for e-TeX's constants
(<code>etexdefs.lib</code>)
<li><a href="src/examples/language.def">
Example language definition file</a>
(<code>language.def</code>)
<li><a href="etex_src.zip">A zip file</a>,
containing all of the above
(<code>etex_src.zip</code>)
</ul>
A reference implementation, developed by
<a href="mailto:spieler@linac.ikp.physik.th-darmstadt.de">Christian Spieler</a>
for VAX/VMS and AXP/VMS, is also provided, to which
<a href="mailto:knappen@vkpmzd.kph.uni-mainz.de">Jörg Knappen</a>
has recently contributed a modified "weave" changefile and a RUNOFF file
containing the source for a VMS HELP library for e-TeX:
<ul>
<li><a href="vms/makeetex.com">
DCL procedure for creating VMS e-TeX</a>
(<code>makeetex.com</code>)
<li><a href="vms/makeetex.tex">TeX steering file</a>,

(<code>makeetex.tex</code>)

(<code>etex_cli.cld</code>)
<li><a href="vms/weave.ch">

<li><a href="vms/etex.rnh">

(<code>etex.rnh</code>)
<li><a href="etex_vms.zip">
A zip file containing all of the above</a>
(<code>etex_vms.zip</code>)
</ul>
A further reference implementation (PubliC e-TeX, a.k.a. "pubtex" and "dos-tp")
by <a href="mailto:peb@mppmu.mpg.de">Peter Breitenlohner</a>
for MS/DOS is also available:
<ul>
<li><a href="ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/msdos/dos-tp/README">
the README file</a>
(<code>README</code>)
<li><a href="ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/msdos/dos-tp/">
the directory root</a>
(<code>ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/msdos/dos-tp/</code>)
</ul>
An e-TeX implementation must be validated by performing the
<a href="etrip.zip">e-TRIP</a> test
(the e-TeX equivalent of Knuth's <a href="knuth/tripman.tex">TRIP</a> test).
The components of the e-TRIP suite are as follows:
<ul>
<li><a href="trip/etripman.tex">Manual for the e-TRIP test</a>
<code>(etripman.tex)</code>
<li><a href="trip/etrip.tex">Source file for the e-TRIP test</a>
<code>(etrip.tex)</code>
<li><a href="trip/etrip.pl">Property-list file for the e-TRIP font</a>
<code>(etrip.pl)</code>
<li><a href="trip/etripin.log">
Log file for the e-TRIP test format-creation run</a>
<code>(etripin.log)</code>
<li><a href="trip/etrip.log">Log file for the e-TRIP test</a>
<code>(etrip.log)</code>
<li><a href="trip/etrip.fot">
"Photo" (terminal log) file for the e-TRIP test</a>
<code>(etrip.fot)</code>
<li><a href="etrip.zip">A ZIP file</a>,
containing all of the above
<code>(<code>etrip.zip</code>)</code>
</ul>
Finally we provide the definitive (Knuthian) TeX and Trip files:
<ul>
<li><a href="knuth/tripman.tex">Manual for the TRIP test</a>
<code>(tripman.tex)</code>
<li><a href="knuth/trip.tex">Source file for the TRIP test</a>
<code>(trip.tex)</code>
<li><a href="knuth/trip.pl">Property-list file for the TRIP font</a>
<code>(trip.pl)</code>
<li><a href="knuth/tripin.log">
Log file for the TRIP test format-creation run</a>
<code>(tripin.log)</code>
<li><a href="knuth/trip.log">Log file for the TRIP test</a>
<code>(trip.log)</code>
<li><a href="knuth/trip.fot">
"Photo" (terminal log) file for the TRIP test</a>
<code>(trip.fot)</code>
<li><a href="knuth/trip.typ">DVItype output for the TRIP test</a>
<code>(trip.typ)</code>
<li><a href="knuth/tripos.tex">I/O file from the TRIP test</a>
<code>(tripos.tex)</code>
<li><a href="knuth/tex.web">Source of TeX-the-program</a>
<code>(tex.web)</code>
<li><a href="knuth/texbook.tex">Source of <em>The TeXbook</em></a>
<code>(texbook.tex)</code>
<li><a href="knuth/glue.web">Fixed-point arithmetic for TeX</a>
<code>(glue.web)</code>
<li><a href="knuth.zip">A zip file</a>,
containing all of the above
<code>(knuth.zip)</code>
</ul>
Any problems encountered when using e-TeX which cannot be replicated
when using a TRIP-validated implementation of TeX should be reported to
<a href="mailto:etex-support@vms.rhbnc.ac.uk">the e-TeX team</a>,
and accompanied by sufficient information to enable the scenario
to be reproduced at another site; the exact version and implementation
of e-TeX should of course be specified.

<h4><a name="etex-orthography">[1]</a>
The orthography of e-T<sub><big>E</big></sub>X
</h4>
The e-TeX team request that wherever e-TeX is referred to in text, it be
represented by the use of its (e-)TeX logo (<code>$\varepsilon$-\TeX</code>),
by the nearest HTML equivalent
(<code>e-T<sub><big>E</big></sub>X</code>), or if
all else fails, by the simple ASCII string "e-TeX". However, bearing in mind
(a) <a
href="ftp://ftp.dl.ac.uk/src/backupa/Documents/Standards/iso/9660/">
the current
ISO standard for CD-ROMs</a>
(which precludes the use of a hyphen in filenames), and (b) the problems
of moving files between case-sensitive (e.g. Unix) and case-insensitive
(e.g. VMS, MS/DOS) operating systems, it is strongly recommended that
wherever "e-TeX" occurs in the context of a filename, logical name, DCL symbol
or analogous construct it be spelled (a) without the hyphen, and
(b) entirely in lower case. It is further recommended that the component
"etex" of such a name be separated from any subsequent component(s) by an
underscore, unless this would (in the case of a filename) cause it
to exceed the MS/DOS limit of 8+3 characters in which case the
underscore should be omitted. Similar considerations may also
be taken into account when constructing logical names, DCL symbols, etc,
although the upper bound will then be system-dependent.
