This is a collection of mostly binaries, put together to provide a minimal
setup to print TeX/LaTeX/TeXinfo files.

Its features:
- TeX and LaTeX to convert a document from source form (.tex .texinfo)
  to a device-independent form (.dvi)
- Programs to produce a sorted index from the raw index that LaTeX or
  texinfo outputs
- dvips to convert the device-independent form to Postscript-form (.ps)
- Metafont, to generate rasterized fonts on the fly when they are requested
  by dvips
- ghostscript to output the Postscript-source to a non Postscript printer.
  Supported Printers are: the HP-Laserjet series, diverse HP-Desjket,
  Canon BJ's, epson-compatible Dot-Matrix-Printers (9 or 24 pin), NEC P6,
  P6+,P60 and several others.
- only libc.so.3.* and libm.so.3.* needed as DLL, no X11.
- a quick and dirty README_if_you_dont't_know_LaTeX, modified for this
  particular setup, called USAGE.
Its NON-features:
- No preview possibilities.
- Almost no documentation about the programs themselves included. Most give
  a short help when called with no arguments however.

The unpacked size of the package is less than 4.5 MB.

Everything has been put together a bit hastily, so there are certainly bugs
in it, maybe due to this installation (some file(s) missing, pathes
compiled or set wrong, files in the wrong place, ...) which is more probable,
maybe due to bugs in the original programs which is less probable.
If something is wrong with the package, or if you have suggestions what
needs to be added, report it to me, I'll try to make
it more reliable, if it's an installation fault.
