files in the SLS TeX dirs (t1,t2,t3)
Note: only disk t1 is really essential
NOTE NOTE: if u have trouble with xdvi, make sure ur using
the one in this package (ie /usr/TeX/bin/xdvi) and not another
one (say /usr/X386/bin/xdvi). the xdvi in texbin.tpz doesnt
have the fontopen bug (source is in the /pub/linux/packages/TeX dir).
I compiled the binaries with gcc-2.3.3, 4.3 libs (xdvi and
mf require the 3.0 X libs)
the defaults for the TeX environmentals are:
BIBINPUTS ".:/usr/TeX/lib/tex/bib" /* bib file */
BSTINPUTS TEXINPUTS /* bib style file */
GFFONTS TEXFONTS /* GF font */
MFBASES "/usr/TeX/lib/mf/bases" /* base file */
MFINPUTS ".:/usr/TeX/src/TeX+MF/typefaces//:/usr/TeX/lib/mf/macros//"
MFPOOL "/usr/TeX/lib/mf" /* mf.pool */
PKFONTS TEXFONTS /* PK font */
TEXFONTS "/usr/TeX/lib/tex/fonts//:." /* TFM font */
TEXFORMATS "/usr/TeX/lib/tex/formats" /* format file */
TEXINPUTS ".:/usr/TeX/lib/tex/macros//:/usr/TeX/lib/tex/inputs//"
TEXPOOL "/usr/TeX/lib/tex" /* tex.pool */
VFFONTS TEXFONTS /* VFM font */
Note: paths ending in // will have their subdirectories searched also.
BUG: the binaries don't acknowledge settings of the above
environmentals! If you don't like the defaults, get the source (in the
/pub/linux/packages/TeX dir at tsx-11.mit.edu, and elsewhere) and set
them as you please.

home site: tsx-11.mit.edu, subdirs of pub/linux/packages/SLS
source home: tsx-11.mit.edu, /pub/linux/packages/TeX/ (texweb and web2c)
maintainer: tdunbar@vtaix.cc.vt.edu
most (but not all) of /pub/linux/packages/TeX has been relocated as above.
Updates, new files, etc will continue to be posted to pub/linux/packages/TeX
first. files with wide appeal may be moved into the SLS subdirs.

for mf graphic support, in your .Xdefaults file, add:
mf*height: 480
mf*width: 640
or whatever you want (to change the default origin position,
edit plain.mf and make a new format)
Printer support: texbin.tpz contains a laserjet driver (source:
ftp.wu-wien.ac.at pub/src/Typeset/dvi2xx)
for PostScript, Rokicki's dvips is best
(ftp labrea.stanford.edu or neon.stanford.edu
for source and support files)
- for ur convenience, i've included dvilj package
and dvips package.
TeX archive sites:
labrea.stanford.edu Knuth's home site
ftp.cs.umb.edu Karl Berry's home site (eplain, web2c)
ymir.claremont.edu large TeX archive in US
rusinfo.rus.uni-stuttgart.de home site for new LaTeX styles
of Mittelbach and Schoepf
REFERENCES:
Gentle.tex.Z good intro to Plain TeX (included texdoc.tpz )
Knuth's The TeXbook/The MetaFontbook are std. refs, there are also
many good introductions and comprehensive textbooks around,
look in your library or bookstore (I recommend ``TeX for
the Impatient'')
comp.text.tex is the usenet group for TeX.
A FAQ and site list is avail at: cs.nyu.edu in dir ~ftp/pub/tex
i'll try to answer questions about TeX and MetaFont, both as typesetting
utilities and as programming languages in their own right.
i encourage you to look at tabledoc.dvi, pictures.dvi and
newssamp.dvi as examples of the (plain) tex macro packages
stables.tex, mfpic.tex, and newsletr.tex, respectively.
