This is TeTex (version 0.4), Tex typesetting system for Linux.
 
TeTeX was mainly set up by Thomas Esser, 
te@informatik.uni-hannover.de, whose work heavily bases on Karl
Berry's Kpathsea library, his web2c-package and the
associated packages as dvipsk etc.

The complete version of TeTex is about 45 Megabytes; the muLinux
version is about 5M. This means I removed a such amount of files,
fonts, packages, etc that the _list_ of missing exceeds in length
the size of Linux kernel sources.

Only options I added is the AMStex, the "American Mathematical Society"
formatting rules for formulas and mathematical symbols typesetting.

In addition, the TEX addon contains Lyx, the famous LaTeX frontend. 

I think this (very poor) addon can be used as tool for emergency
typesetting, if you work as sturm-reporter in some war-zone, around
the world, and wish urgently to rewrite the "Book 8th, Conic's Sections"
of Apollonio di Perga (never found; I'm curiousus).


The Lyx word processor (v0.10)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LyX is a modern approach of writing documents with a  com-
       puter  which  breaks  with  the  tradition of the obsolete
       typewriter concept. It is designed for people who wants  a
       professional output with a minimum of time effort, without
       becoming specialists in typesetting.  Compared  to  common
       word processors, LyX will increase the productivity a lot,
       since most of the typesetting will be  done  by  the  com-
       puter, not the author. With LyX the author can concentrate
       on the contents of his writing, since  the  computer  will
       take care of the look. Read more about this concept in the
       online documentation under the Help menu.



Sample files
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please, look in the directory /usr/tex/demo. In the subdir tex you
find a lot of tex files, also useful to understand as LaTeX basically
works:

	# make.test	# process tex -> dvi
	# make.post	# process dvi -> ps 

How to use
~~~~~~~~~~ 

Process a .tex file
-------------------
		
		# latex file.tex

This will produce file.dvi + an extraordinary amount of errors
messages, relative to missing fonts. No problem: LaTeX is smart
enough to recovery itself in acceptable way.


Preview a DVI file
------------------

		# xdvi file.dvi

This requires XWindow active.


Convert in Postscript
---------------------

		# dvips -f < file.dvi > file.ps


Convert a tex file in ASCII
---------------------------

There is a nice utility (called dvi2tty):

		# dvi2tty file.dvi > file.txt

You can print file.txt in muLinux or preview it with "less"

How to print
-------------

I added also dvilj, dvilj4l converters for HP Laserjet, but seems
to work very poorly.  Please, transport the .ps or .dvi file in
another system, and print it. 

- m.a.
