The teTeX Homepage
teTeX is a complete TeX distribution for UNIX compatible systems,
maintained by me,
Thomas Esser. It is based on Karl Berry's Web2c distribution.
My main aims when putting this distribution together have been:
- create something simple to install, use and maintain
- include as much useful documentation as possible
- test as much as possible and try to avoid bugs
The directory structure of teTeX is based on the TeX Directory Structure
standard (TDS).
