>\section{The Components of \teTeX}\label{sec:components}
>
>This document cannot describe all the programs which are part of
>\teTeX{} in detail, but it tries to give you an overview. This section
>describes the packages which form the main components of \teTeX{}.
>
>\subsection{Web2c}
>\href{http://tug.org/web2c/}{Web2c} is a \TeX{} implementation,
>originally for Unix, but also running under Windows, Macintosh,
>DOS, Amiga, and other operating systems. It includes \TeX{} itself and
>the following programs:
>\begin{itemize}
>\item \MF: a font compiler intended to produce typefaces of high
>  quality~\cite{Knuth:1984:M}.
>\item \MP: a program similar to \MF, modified to output Postscript
>  code instead of bitmaps. Documentation for \MP{} is available via
>  the command:
>  \dlink{../../../texmf-dist/doc/metapost/base}{mpman}{\psext}.
>\item \BibTeX: a preprocessor to make bibliographies for \LaTeX. For
>  documentation, see
>  \dlink{../../../texmf-dist/doc/bibtex/base}{btxdoc}{\dviext} and
>  Appendix~B of \cite{Lamport:1994:LDP}.
>\item utilities for converting between different font metric and
>  bitmap formats: \texttt{gftopk}, \texttt{gftodvi}, \texttt{gftype},
>  \texttt{pktogf}, \texttt{pktype}, \texttt{pltotf}, \texttt{tftopl},
>  \texttt{vftovp}, \texttt{vptovf}.
>\item DVI utilities: \texttt{dvicopy, dvitomp, dvitype}.
>\item other tools: \texttt{patgen}, \texttt{pooltype},
>  \texttt{tangle}, \texttt{weave}, \texttt{ctangle}, \texttt{cweave}.
>\end{itemize}
>  
>  
>The main documentation for \href{http://tug.org/web2c/}{Web2c} is the
>``Web2c manual'' and the ``kpathsea manual''. These can be accessed
>via \dlink{../../../texmf-dist/doc/programs}{web2c}{\docext} and
>\dlink{../../../texmf-dist/doc/programs}{kpathsea}{\docext}
>respectively.
>
>\subsection{\TeX{} extensions: pdf\TeX, e-\TeX{}, Omega, Aleph, enc\TeX}
>Besides the standard \TeX{} program, the
>  following extensions to \TeX{} are included in \teTeX:
>\begin{description}
>\item [pdf\TeX] This can optionally write Acrobat PDF format instead
>  of DVI. The user manual can be accessed by the command
>  \dlink{../../../texmf-dist/doc/pdftex/manual}{pdftex-a}{\pdfext}.
>  The \LaTeX{} hyperref package
>  (\dlink{../../../texmf-dist/doc/latex/hyperref}{manual}{\pdfext})
>  has an option ``pdftex'', which turns on all the program features.
>  In DVI mode, pdf\TeX{} works like the usual \TeX{} with the
>  exception of the availability of additional typographic features.
>  
>  In PDF mode, pdf\TeX{} supports graphics inclusion for the following
>  graphic formats:
>  \begin{itemize}
>  \item PNG (portable network graphics)
>  \item PDF (portable document format),
>  \item JPG (jpeg)
>  \item MPS (metapost output)
>  \end{itemize}
>  It does not support EPS (encapsulated postscript), but if you have
>  recent versions of \texttt{ghostscript} (version 5.10 or later) and
>  \texttt{perl} (version 5 or later) installed, you can use the tool
>  \texttt{epstopdf} to convert EPS graphics into PDF. When including a
>  PDF file, pdf\TeX{} is able to access parts of a multi-page file: a
>  complete page or a clipped part of a page. This feature extends
>  pdf\TeX{} beyond its typesetting capabilities into a versatile tool
>  for handling arbitrary generated PDF files.
>
>\item [e-\TeX] adds a small but powerful set of new primitives, and an
>  extension for right to left typesetting. In default mode, e-\TeX{}
>  is 100\,\% compatible with ordinary \TeX.  See
>  \dlink{../../../texmf-dist/doc/etex/base}{etex-man}{\docext} for details.
>
>\item [Omega ($\bm \Omega$)] Omega works internally with 16-bit
>  Unicode characters; this allows it to work directly with
>  almost all the world's scripts simultaneously. It also supports
>  dynamically loaded ``$\Omega$ Translation Processes'' (OTPs), which
>  allow the user to define complex transformations to be performed on
>  arbitrary streams of input. Documentation:
>  \dlink{../../../texmf-dist/doc/omega/base}{doc-1.12}{ps}.
>\item [Aleph] is a \TeX{} engine that combines the good features of
>  e\TeX{} and Omega. The \LaTeX{} based format of Aleph is called
>  Lamed.
>\end{description}
>

>\subsection{DVI drivers: dvips, dvilj, xdvi, dvipdfm, dvipng}
>For printing and previewing DVI files, you need to use one of the DVI
>drivers that are available:
>\begin{description}
>\item [dvips] This driver converts DVI files into Postscript.
>  Postscript is a page description language that many laser printers
>  directly support. With the help of the utility \texttt{ghostscript},
>  it is possible to view Postscript documents on screen and to print
>  Postscript documents on non-Postscript printers. This version of
>  \texttt{dvips} supports hypertex and partial font downloading.  In
>  this release, the search path for config files have been changed:
>  the current directory is no longer searched by default.
>  Additionally, secure mode has been turned on by default. For
>  details, consult the documentation:
>  \dlink{../../../texmf-dist/doc/programs}{dvips}{\dviext}.
>\item [dvilj] This is a family of drivers to support HP LaserJet (and
>  compatible) printers: \texttt{dvilj, dvilj2p, dvilj4, dvilj4l,
>    dvilj6}. These drivers are faster than the \texttt{dvips} +
>  \texttt{ghostscript} alternative (which can also be used to print
>  DVI files on HP LaserJet printers), but they lack a few features
>  like support for virtual fonts, rotated or scaled graphics, etc.
>\item [xdvi] This is a previewer for DVI files under the X~Window
>  System. It has support for Postscript specials through Display
>  Postscript, NeWS and \texttt{ghostscript}. Hypertex support was also
>  added for this version of \texttt{xdvi}. A link can be followed by
>  clicking with Button-1 or Button-2 (open link in a new window) on
>  it. With the help of source specials, xdvi can interact with most
>  editors in some way. For details, visit the
>  \href{http://xdvi.sourceforge.net/inverse-search.html}{project
>    page}.
>\item [dvipdfm] This program can convert dvi files into pdf format,
>  while supporting a rich set of features (via TeX's
>  \textbackslash special scheme): hyperlinks, bookmarks, thumbnails,
>  image inclusion etc. For details consult the documentation
>  \dlink{../../../texmf-dist/doc/programs}{dvipdfm}{\docext} and the
>  \href{http://gaspra.kettering.edu/dvipdfm/}{web page}.
>\item [dvipng] makes PNG and/or GIF graphics from DVI files as obtained
>  from TeX and its relatives. For details, consult the documentation:
>  \dlink{../../../texmf-dist/doc/programs}{dvipng}{\docext}.
>
>\end{description}
>
>
>\subsection{Makeindex}
>\texttt{makeindex} is a general purpose hierarchical index generator;
>it accepts one or more input files (often produced by a text formatter
>such as \TeX{} or \texttt{troff}), sorts the entries, and produces an
>output file which can be formatted.  The formats of the input and
>output files are specified in a style file; by default, input is
>assumed to be an \texttt{idx} file, as generated by \LaTeX.
>Documentation: \dlink{../../../texmf-dist/doc/makeindex}{makeindex}{\dviext}
>
>\subsection{Texinfo}
>\texttt{texinfo} is a documentation system. It produces online or
>printed output from a single source. It uses \TeX{} to typeset
>documents for printing (\dlink{../../../texmf-dist/doc/programs}{texinfo}{\dviext}).
>
>
>\subsection{UNIX Scripts / Tools}
>
>If you are using \teTeX{} under UNIX, you can use the following
>scripts. More documentation for a specific tool can either be obtained
>from its UNIX manual page or by running the program with the option
>\texttt{--help}. 
>\begin{description}
>\item[texdoc] allows you to easily access documentation included with
>  \teTeX. You only have to remember the file name of the document that
>  you want to access, without the directory part. If you do not
>  specify a file name extension (such as \texttt{.dvi})
>  \texttt{texdoc} will try a few default extensions. After searching
>  the file, \texttt{texdoc} starts an appropriate viewer.  The command
>  \texttt{texdoc~--help} gives you a list of available command line
>  options. While \texttt{texdoc} is a fast and efficient tool if you
>  exactly know what you are searching for, it is of limited use if you
>  don't know the exact name of the documentation file.
>\item [texdoctk] This \texttt{perl/tk} based tool allows you to browse
>  through the available documentation by some topics and to search for
>  keywords. It uses a simple database file for its configuration
>  (named \texttt{texdoctk.dat}), which you can customize and extend
>  easily.
>\item[texconfig] allows you to carry out the most common configuration
>  tasks in \teTeX. The program can be used in command mode or in
>  interactive mode. For the interactive mode (which is invoked by
>  calling \texttt{texconfig} without arguments), a curses based
>  utility is used for user interaction (menus, check boxes, \ldots).
>  The command \texttt{texconfig help} shows you a list of available
>  command line options (command mode).
>  
>  \verb+texconfig+ can be used to set up \TeX{} format files and their
>  hyphenation patterns, to set up printers (for \verb+dvips+) and for
>  a few other things.  It manipulates configuration files to store the
>  configuration changes.
>  
>  If the use of \verb+texconfig+ causes a change in some configuration
>  file, \verb+texconfig+ will try to save that file into the texmf
>  tree that is specified by the \verb+TEXMFCONFIG+ variable. Variable
>  (cached) runtime data (such as format files generated by
>  \verb+fmtutil+, map files generated by \verb+updmap+) will be stored
>  in the texmf tree specified by the \verb+TEXMFVAR+ variable.
>\item[updmap] Some tools in \teTeX{} support Postscript Type~1
>  fonts: \texttt{dvips}, \texttt{pdf\TeX}, \texttt{xdvi},
>  \texttt{dvipdfm} and \texttt{gsftopk}, \texttt{ps2pk}. The last two
>  in this list just convert outline fonts into a bitmap format which
>  is helpful for applications that don't directly support outline
>  fonts. In an ideal world, all of these programs would share a common
>  configuration file to set up their outline fonts. The reality is
>  different, however, and each tool needs its own configuration. The
>  \texttt{updmap} utility was developed to generate these
>  configuration files from a central repository. Adding font
>  definitions for all supported applications from a map file
>  \texttt{foo.map} can be as easy as %
>  \verb+updmap --enable Map foo.map+. For details, please consult the
>  manual page of \texttt{updmap}.
>\item[dvired] This script can be used to print documents formatted for
>  A4 paper 2-up (i.e.\@ two logical pages to one physical page of
>  paper) by scaling the pages to 70.7\,\% of their original size.
>  \texttt{dvired} can just be used in the same way as \texttt{dvips}
>  (same command line options).
>\item[dvi2fax] This script converts DVI files into FAX G3 format. It
>  uses \texttt{ghostscript} (see:
>  \url{http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/}) which is not part of \teTeX{}.
>  The DVI file is first converted to Postscript ($204\times 196$\,dpi
>  or $204\times 98$\,dpi) and then to FAX G3 using
>  \texttt{ghostscript} (\texttt{faxg3} device).
>\item[allcm, allec, allneeded] \teTeX's DVI drivers generate missing
>  bitmap fonts on demand (the first time they are needed). If you
>  start with a fresh installation, you don't have any bitmap fonts and
>  the delay caused by font generation might be too annoying for you.
>  In that case, the three scripts \texttt{allcm, allec and allneeded}
>  can help you. \texttt{allcm} and \texttt{allec} create a few DVI
>  files (using \LaTeX) which use lots of fonts at various sizes and run
>  these DVI files through \texttt{dvips}. This triggers the generation
>  of the most commonly used Computer Modern (\texttt{allcm}) and
>  European Computer Modern (\texttt{allec}) fonts respectively. You
>  might already have DVI files and want to generate just the bitmap
>  fonts needed by these documents. This can be done by the
>  \texttt{allneeded} script.  This script will search a given set of
>  directories for DVI files and run them through \texttt{dvips}. All
>  these scripts just trigger font generation. \LaTeX{} and DVI files
>  generated by \texttt{allcm}/\texttt{allec} are removed when the
>  program terminates. Postscript output that is generated by
>  \texttt{dvips} is sent to \texttt{/dev/null}.
>  
>  These programs accept the command line option ``\texttt{-r}'' (must
>  be the first option) to generate files for the magnification $707 /
>  1000$ which is used by \texttt{dvired}. \texttt{allneeded} passes
>  options which correspond to existing file or directory names to
>  \texttt{find} (for locating DVI files). All other options given to
>  any of these three utilities are passed to \texttt{dvips}. So, by
>  passing \texttt{-D \textit{NNN} -mfmode \textit{some-mode}} or
>  \texttt{-P \textit{some-printer}}, you can generate fonts for a
>  specific resolution (\texttt{\textit{NNN}}) and mode
>  (\texttt{\textit{some-mode}}) or for a specific printer
>  (\texttt{\textit{printer}}).

>\subsection{The \TeX{} Directory Structure (TDS)}
>\teTeX{}'s support tree with fonts, macros, documentation and other
>files (from now on called the ``texmf tree'') follows a certain
>structure: the \TeX{} Directory Structure (TDS). This is a standard
>developed by a \TeX{} Working Group of TUG. The TDS is defined in a
>way so that can be used by different implementations of \TeX{} on
>different platforms.  Today, several \TeX{} distributions follow this
>standard: \teTeX, \TeX{} Live, fp\TeX{} and miktex, only to mention
>some.  You need to understand this structure if you want to build your
>own texmf tree (e.g.,\@ with all your local additions) or add files
>into an existing texmf tree.  The list of all texmf trees (optionally
>using some notation called ``brace expansion'' and \verb+!!+
>modifiers; the kpathsea manual
>explains this in detail) can be obtained by:\\
>\null\qquad\verb+kpsewhich -expand-var='$TEXMF'+ %$ 
>
>
>\def\replaceable#1{{\rmfamily $\langle$\textit{#1}$\rangle$}}
>Table
>\ref{tab:tds} gives a short overview of the TDS. It shows the proper
>location inside the TDS tree for several kind of files. The complete
>documentation for TDS can be accessed by
>\dlink{../../../texmf-dist/doc/help}{tds}{\dviext}. If you want to see some examples, just
>look at the main texmf tree of \teTeX. It has several thousand
>files.\bigskip

>The replaceable parts in this table mean:
>\begin{description}
>\item[\replaceable{format}] The name of the \TeX{} format, e.g.,\@
>  \texttt{latex} or \texttt{amstex}.
>\item[\replaceable{package}] The name of the package to which the file
>  belongs, e.g.,\@ \texttt{babel} or \texttt{seminar}.
>\item[\replaceable{type}] The name of the type of a font file, e.g.,\@
>  \texttt{pk} (packed bitmap), \texttt{tfm} (tex font metric),
>  \texttt{afm} (adobe font metric), \texttt{vf} (virtual font),
>  or \texttt{source} (\MF{} source).
>\item[\replaceable{supplier}] The name of the font supplier (to whom
>  the font file belongs), e.g.,\@ \texttt{adobe} or \texttt{urw}.
>\item[\replaceable{typeface}] The name of the typeface name (for this
>  font file), e.g.,\@ \texttt{times} or \texttt{cm} (for Computer
>  Modern).
>\end{description}
>
>It is important to know that the default search paths in \teTeX{} rely
>on this directory structure. So, if you add a file to the wrong
>directory tree, e.g.,\@ a TeX macro somewhere in the \texttt{fonts}
>subtree, that file will not be found correctly.
>
>\subsection{Overview of the predefined texmf trees}
>As described in the previous section, each texmf tree follows a well
>defined directory structure. This section lists all predefined texmf
>trees and their intended purpose. The command \verb+texconfig conf+
>shows you the values of the variables below, so that you can easily
>find out how they map to directory names in your installation.
>
>\begin{description}
>\item [TEXMFCONFIG] The tree specified by this variable will be used
>  by te\TeX's utilities \verb+texconfig+, \verb+updmap+ and \verb+fmtutil+
>  to store modified configuration data.
>\item [TEXMFVAR] The tree specified by this variable will by used by
>  the utilities \verb+texconfig+, \verb+updmap+ and \verb+fmtutil+ to
>  store (cached) runtime data such as format files and generated map
>  files.
>\item [TEXMFHOME] The expansion of this variable typically depends on \verb+$HOME+, % $
>  so this dynamically adjusts for each user to an individual
>  directory. The idea is to allow users to store their own versions of
>  macros, fonts etc. in this tree.
>\item [TEXMFSYSCONFIG] The tree specified by this variable will be
>  used used by the utilities \verb+texconfig-sys+, \verb+updmap-sys+
>  and \verb+fmtutil-sys+ to store modified configuration data.
>\item [TEXMSYSFVAR] The tree specified by this variable will by used
>  by \verb+texconfig-sys+, \verb+updmap-sys+ and \verb+fmtutil-sys+ to
>  store (cached) runtime data such as format files and generated map
>  files.
>\item [TEXMFMAIN] This variable specifies the texmf tree where some
>  vital parts of the system are installed, such as helper scripts
>  (e.g. \verb+web2c/mktexdir+), pool files and other support files.
>\item [TEXMFLOCAL] This variable names a directory tree which should
>  be used for system-wide installation of additional or updated macro
>  packages, fonts etc.
>\item [TEXMFDIST] This variable names the directory tree which holds
>  the macros, fonts etc. as originally distributed.
>\end{description}
>
>\subsection{The file name database (ls-R)}
>texmf trees can get very large and to speed up searching in such a
>tree, a file name database is used. A file name database exists in the
>root of each texmf tree and has the name \verb+ls-R+. It should list
>each file in the texmf tree. The command \verb+texhash+ can be used to
>build an up-to-date file name database for each texmf tree. It should
>be used after files have been added to a texmf tree. However, you
>don't need to run \verb+texhash+ for files added by the automatic font
>generation or the \texttt{texconfig} utility.
>
>
>\subsection{Runtime configuration (texmf.cnf file)}
>\label{ss:texmfcnf}
>Search paths and other definitions (e.g.,\@ the static sizes of some
>arrays in \TeX{} or other programs) can be set up in configuration
>files named \texttt{texmf.cnf}. By changing the definitions in these
>configuration files (\teTeX's main \texttt{texmf.cnf} is
>\path|web2c/texmf.cnf| in the main texmf tree), the behavior of
>programs can be changed without recompiling them. Chapters 3 and 4 of
>the kpathsea manual (\dlink{../../../texmf-dist/doc/programs}{kpathsea}{\docext}) describe
>the path searching configuration in detail. Section 2.5 of the Web2c
>manual (\dlink{../../../texmf-dist/doc/programs}{web2c}{\docext}) describes some
>interesting runtime parameters that you might want to change.
>
>Some changes to the array sizes require you to rebuild the dump files
>that the program uses. Run the command \verb+texconfig init+ to
>rebuild all dump files after you have changed one of the array sizes.
>
>This implementation of \TeX{} can read and write files (as can every
>implementation of \TeX) and it can also call external commands (via
>the \verb+\write18+ stream). Some variables in the \verb+texmf.cnf+
>file control access to these features. The possibility to call
>external commands can be turned on or off (default is off). Access to
>file beginning ``\verb+.+'' is disallowed in restricted mode (default
>for reading files). In paranoid mode, file access is even more
>restricted and you cannot access files outside the current directory
>tree (default for writing files). If the first line of a document starts with \verb+%&+,
>it can be used to pass the name of the format file and/or a TCX file.
>Parsing the first line, is an extension that can be turned on or off
>(default is off) in the \verb+texmf.cnf+ file.
>
>\subsection{Using Postscript type 1 fonts}
>For every font you use with \TeX, a TFM (\TeX{} font metric) file is
>needed. Type~1 fonts usually do not have the same encoding that is
>used by \TeX{}, so additional metrics that do some re-encoding (virtual
>font files) are often needed. For a lot of font families, these font
>metric files and additional map files that you need (see below) can be
>found on CTAN servers in the directory \path|fonts|. If
>support for your fonts cannot be found there, you can use the
>\verb+fontinst+ utility (documentation:
>\dlink{../../../texmf-dist/doc/fontinst/base}{fontinst}{\dviext}) to create these.
>
>Postscript type 1 fonts can be used by \texttt{dvips}, \texttt{dvipdfm}, \texttt{xdvi},
>\texttt{gsftopk}, \texttt{ps2pk} and pdf\TeX. All of these programs
>require that you set up map files for these fonts. To ease the process
>of adding map file entries to the configuration files that are used by
>these tools, you should follow the following steps:
>\begin{itemize}
>\item if your fonts already come with a map file, put that
>  file into the \path|fonts/map/dvips/misc| directory in the main texmf tree.
>\item otherwise, you will need to create a map file yourself,
>  using the syntax as described in the dvips manual
>  (\dlink{../../../texmf-dist/doc/programs}{dvips}{\dviext}); make sure to set up these fonts
>  as ``download fonts'', not as ``built in'' fonts.
>\item run the command \verb+texhash+ and then make the map file known
>  to \verb+updmap+ by running the command %
>  \verb+updmap --enable Map file.map+ (where %
>  \verb+file.map+ denotes the filename of your map
>  file)
>\end{itemize}
>
>The programs \verb+gsftopk+ and \verb+ps2pk+ convert Postscript type 1
>fonts into bitmap fonts and make these fonts accessible to DVI drivers 
>that do not directly support Postscript type 1 fonts. This

>\subsection{Configuration files maintained by texconfig}
>\label{sec:cfgtexconfig}
>The \texttt{texconfig} utility is a user interface for changing the
>configuration of the \teTeX{} system. The configuration is stored in
>several individual files. This section documents the names of these
>files, their location in the texmf tree and their content. This
>explains how \texttt{texconfig} works and enables you to manually
>configure parameters which are not supported by \texttt{texconfig}.
>
>\begin{itemize}
>\item \path|dvips/config/config.ps| stores configuration information for
>  \texttt{dvips}. The default values are: 600\,dpi resolution; ljfour
>  \MF{} mode; A4 paper; offset for printing: 0pt,0pt; output goes to
>  \texttt{lpr} command.
>\item \path|tex/generic/config/pdftexconfig.tex| This file sets some
>  defaults for pdf\TeX{}, e.g.\@ the default paper size. This
>  information is dumped into format files, so if you modify this file
>  directly (without using texconfig), you have to rebuild the format
>  files by using the command \verb+fmtutil --all+.
>\item \path|xdvi/XDvi| This file sets some defaults (e.g. media size,
>  metafont mode) for \verb+xdvi+.  It is read via the app-default
>  mechanism of X11. You can override these app-defaults as usual
>  (i.e.\@ via a file \verb+~/.Xdefaults+ or with resources managed by
>  \verb+xrdb+).
>\item \path|dvipdfm/config| defines the defaults for \verb+dvipdfm+,
>  e.g.\@ the default paper size, the command to convert encapsulated
>  postscript graphics into PDF etc.
>\item \path|web2c/mktex.cnf| This file sets the default metafont mode
>  used for automatically generated bitmap fonts, the resolution which
>  is used in scripts (e.g. \verb+mktextfm+) and a list of ``features''
>  used for automatic font generation. The most important ``features''
>  are described below; for a full list, see section 2.2.9.1 of the
>  kpathsea manual
>  (\dlink{../../../texmf-dist/doc/programs}{kpathsea}{\docext}).
>  \begin{description}
>  \item [appendonlydir] Set the sticky bit on directories that have to
>    be created. The sticky bit has the effect that a file in such a
>    directory can only be removed by the owner of that directory or by
>    the owner of that file.
>  \item [varfonts] When this option is enabled, fonts that would
>    otherwise be written to some texmf tree go below the
>    \verb+VARTEXFONTS+ directory instead.  The default value is in
>    \path|/var/tmp/texfonts|.  The ``Linux File System Standard''
>    recommends \path|/var/tex/fonts|.  The \verb+varfonts+ setting in
>    \verb+MT_FEATURES+ is overridden by the environment variable
>    \verb+USE_VARTEXFONTS+: if set to 1, the feature is enabled, and
>    if set to 0, the feature is disabled.
>  \item [texmfvar] Force generated files that would go into a system
>    tree (as defined by \verb+SYSTEXMF+) into \verb+TEXMFVAR+. The
>    \verb+varfonts+ feature takes precedence if also set. A user can
>    override this setting in either direction by setting
>    \verb+USE_TEXMFVAR+ to 1 or 0.
>  \end{description}
>\item \path|web2c/updmap.cfg| controls how \verb+updmap+ generates map
>  files for all supported tools. Besides some general parameters, all
>  active map files are listed here.
>\item \path|web2c/fmtutil.cnf| This file defines which format files
>  are built (and how) and which file can be used to customize the
>  hyphenation patterns that are loaded into these formats. The
>  programs \verb+fmtutil+ and \verb+texlinks+ (which are automatically
>  called if the formats are set up via \verb+texconfig+) operate on
>  this file. \verb+fmtutil+ can be used to create the format files
>  according to the ``rules'' defined in \verb+fmtutil.cnf+ (for a
>  brief description, just call \verb+fmtutil --help+). If you define a
>  new format file, you usually also need a symbolic link with the name
>  for the format to the appropriate \TeX{} engine (e.g.,
>  \verb+latex+~$\to$~\verb+tex+). To create these links, just call the
>  \verb+texlinks+ script.
>\item hyphenation setup files as defined in \path|web2c/fmtutil.cnf|:
>  the third field of the file \path|fmtutil.cnf| defines names of
>  files which can be edited to customize hyphenation (for the format
>  which is named in the first field). Since \path|fmtutil.cnf| itself
>  is a configuration file, the list of files in the third field might
>  vary.  Table~\ref{tab:hyphx} shows the names of the files used in

>\subsection{Automatic font generation}
>By setting various ``features'' (see \ref{sec:cfgtexconfig}) the
>automatic font generation can be customized in many ways.  The tool
>\verb+texconfig+ offers support in configuring and setting up the
>directories where automatically generated fonts end up.
>
>In the default configuration of te\TeX, all automatically generated
>fonts end up in the directory tree which is specified by the
>\verb+VARTEXFONTS+ variable. The command line mode of \verb+texconfig+
>(\emph{not} the interactive mode) allows you to manipulate the path
>and the permissions of this directory tree and also adjusts the
>``features'' for automatic font generation to match the chosen
>directory permissions:
>
>\begin{description}
>\item [texconfig font vardir DIR] This changes the path which is
>  stored in the \verb+VARTEXFONTS+ variable to \verb+DIR+. You must
>  have write permissions to the main \verb+texmf.cnf+ file, because
>  the variable is stored there.
>\item [texconfig font rw] This makes the \verb+VARTEXFONTS+ directory
>  (and subtrees \verb+pk+, \verb+tfm+, \verb+source+) world writable
>  and sets the ``features'' \verb+appendonlydir+ and \verb+varfonts+
>  in the config file \verb+mktex.cnf+. To change the global
>  \verb+mktex.cnf+ file (instead of modifying an individual copy), use
>  \verb+texconfig-sys+ instead of \verb+texconfig+.
>\item [texconfig font ro] This makes the \verb+VARTEXFONTS+ directory
>  (and subtrees \verb+pk+, \verb+tfm+, \verb+source+) writable for the
>  owner only and sets the ``features'' \verb+texmfvar+ in the config
>  file \verb+mktex.cnf+. To change the global \verb+mktex.cnf+ file
>  (instead of modifying an individual copy), use \verb+texconfig-sys+
>  instead of \verb+texconfig+.
>\end{description}
>
>The assumption behind the manipulations of \verb+texconfig+ is that
>you set up a world-writable \verb+VARTEXFONTS+ tree if you want all
>generated fonts (by all users) to be stored there. If you set the
>global \verb+VARTEXFONTS+ tree to read-only, then the \verb+texmfvar+
>is activated which results in a user-specific default destination for
>automatically generated fonts (\verb+$TEXMFVAR/fonts+). % $
>
>\subsection{TCX files}
>TCX (\TeX{} character translation) files help \TeX{} support direct
>input of 8-bit international characters if fonts containing those
>characters are being used.  Specifically, they map an input (keyboard)
>character code to the internal \TeX{} character code (a superset of
>ASCII).
>
>\teTeX{} has the TCX files \verb+il1-t1.tcx+ and \verb+il2-t1.tcx+
>which support ISO Latin 1 and ISO Latin 2, respectively, with
>Cork-encoded fonts (a.k.a.: the T1 encoding).  TCX files for Czech,
>Polish, and Slovak are also provided.
>
>All TCX files that are distributed as part of \teTeX{} can be found in
>the web2c subdirectory of the main texmf tree; their file name
>extension is \verb+.tcx+.
>
>You can specify a TCX file to be used for a particular \TeX{} run by
>specifying the command-line option
>\hbox{\texttt{-translate-file=\textsl{tcxfile}}} or (preferably)
>specifying it explicitly in the first line of the main document
>\hbox{\texttt{\%\& -translate-file=\textsl{tcxfile}}}. Note, however,
>that parsing the first line of an input file in an extension that is
>disabled by default and has to be turned on via command line switch
>(\verb+-parse-first-line+) or in the \verb+texmf.cnf+ file (see
>section \ref{ss:texmfcnf}).
>
>When processing a document using a TCX file, you usually must not
>use \LaTeX's \verb+inputenc+ package. One exception to this rule are
>TCX files that map all characters to their original position such as
>\verb+cp8bit.tcx+, \verb+cp227.tcx+ and \verb+natural.tcx+.  The purpose
>of these TCX files is to manipulate the ``printability'' attribute in
>\TeX's internal tables.
>
>\subsection{Creating PDF files}
>If you want to create PDF documents with the help of \TeX, there are
>at least three different ways to do this
>\begin{enumerate}
>\item translate your \TeX{} sources directly into PDF by using pdf\TeX.
>\item translate DVI files generated by \TeX{} into PDF by using the
>  \texttt{dvipdfm} program (now included in \teTeX).
>\item translate a Postscript file generated by \TeX{} and
>  \texttt{dvips} into PDF by using Adobe Acrobat or
>  the \texttt{ps2pdf} utility included in ghostscript. 
>\end{enumerate}
>When using \texttt{ps2pdf}, you should make sure to use at least
>version 6.50 of ghostscript. Earlier versions are known to have
>serious restrictions on creating PDF output.
>
>No matter which approach you use, there is one common rule when creating
>quality PDF files: you should avoid bitmap fonts. They just display
>very poorly on screen when used in PDF documents (which is caused by
>poor bitmap rendering of Adobe Acrobat Reader in all versions up to 5.x).
>
>Using only the fonts provided by \teTeX, you have more choices for
>which fonts to use.  The following typeface families are included in
>Postscript type~1 format:
>\begin{itemize}
>\item Computer Modern and the AMS fonts (extended versions with
>  polish, czech and slovak and russian letters are available, too); a
>  special extension to Computer Modern providing lots of additional
>  characters (most, but not exclusively accents) are the Latin Modern
>  fonts
>\item the full set of the 35 basic ``LaserWriter fonts'' (see psnfss
>  documentation, supporting other fonts are pazo, tx/px fonts)
>\item Bitstream Charter
>\end{itemize}
>
>The EC fonts are not included in type 1 format in te\TeX. If
>you have a \LaTeX{} document that uses EC fonts, you have at
>least two ways to get around this problem. The first is to stop
>using EC fonts---which can in most cases be done by switching
>to the Latin Modern fonts. Usually, the EC fonts are activated by
>\verb+\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}+ or \verb+\usepackage{t1enc}+ and you
>just have to add \verb+\usepackage{lmodern}+. The second is to use the
>CM-SUPER Type~1 fonts, not included in \teTeX, but available on CTAN
>servers in the directory \path|fonts/ps-type1/cm-super|. This package is
>pretty huge, but it contains all EC fonts in outline format and much more.
>
>If the Latin Modern solution works for you, this is the recommended
>one for the following reasons:
>\begin{itemize}
>\item quality: the Latin Modern fonts have been created by using a
>  better technology and they have been carefully hand-optimized
>  (hinting, kerning, accent positioning etc.)
>\item the Latin Modern fonts are already included in te\TeX
>\item the resulting files are usually much smaller
>\end{itemize}
>
>\section{Release notes for te\TeX{} 2.0}
>Some default settings of ``\texttt{tex}, the Web2C implementation of
>\TeX'' have changed.  We determined that some extensions were in fact
>in conflict with the strict definition of TeX as laid down by Knuth.
>
>The most notable change is that parsing of \verb+%&+ constructs in the
>first line of an input file is now disabled by default -- it can be
>enabled in \texttt{texmf.cnf} if you desire this.  In that case, tex
>will announce itself as ``TeXk'' and print an additional banner line
>saying
>that \verb+%&+-line parsing is enabled.
>  
>We may encounter more places where the default behaviour is not what
>it should be, and proceed to make this optional (and by default off)
>in future versions of Web2C.
>
>
>\section{Release notes for te\TeX{} 3.0}
>This section briefly describes what has changed since the last major
>release.
>
>\subsection{New programs / font support / macro packages}
>Two programs (see section \ref{sec:components}) have been added with
>this release: Aleph and dvipng. Many macro packages have been added,
>too.  The largest additions are the packages beamer and memoir. In the
>fonts sections, some additions and updates have happened, too. The
>largest change in this area is the addition of the Latin Modern Fonts
>(\verb+lmodern+) in Postscript Type 1 format. These fonts are not as
>exhaustive as the \verb+cmsuper+ fonts, but they are of very good
>quality and sufficient for languages which use Latin characters. Using
>the Latin Modern Fonts is in most cases preferable over using the
>\verb+ae+ fonts (e.g. PDF files with accents are searchable, text
>extraction works better).
>
>\subsection{Changes to web2c}
>\begin{itemize}
>\item \TeX{} now uses the new \verb+tex.web+ (version 3.141592) from
>  December 2002 (fixed \verb+\xleaders+, glueset, weird alignments).
>\item enc\TeX{} (see
>  \dlink{../../../texmf-dist/doc/generic/enctex}{encdoc-e}{\dviext})),
>  a \TeX{} extension by Petr Ol\v s\'ak for input reencoding is now
>  available (for non Omega based engines). The new functionality is
>  enabled by setting the \verb+-enc+ switch at format generation time.
>  It defines 10 new primitives which can be used to control \TeX{}'s
>  internal character translation tables and proper multibyte input
>  (e.g. for handling UTF-8).
>\item The \verb+\input+ primitive in \verb+tex+ (and \verb+mf+ and
>  \verb+mpost+) now accepts double quotes containing spaces and other
>  special characters.  Typical examples:
>\begin{verbatim}
>\input "filename with spaces"   % plain
>\input{"filename with spaces"}  % latex
>\end{verbatim}
>See the Web2C manual for more: \dlink{../../../texmf-dist/doc/programs}{web2c}{\docext}.
>\end{itemize}
>
>\subsection{Modifications to the directory structure and file searching}
>\begin{description}
>
>\item [split of texmf trees] The instruction of installing te\TeX{}
>  from the sources that I provide have been changed. The unpacked
>  texmf tarball (\verb+$prefix/share/texmf-dist+, %$
>  set up as \verb+$TEXMFDIST+ %$
>  in \verb+texmf.cnf+) is no longer mixed with the files that are
>  installed via ``\verb+make install+'' from building and installing
>  the program sources. These files (e.\,g. format files) that are more
>  tied up with the programs end up in the directory
>  \verb+$prefix/share/texmf+ (\verb+$TEXMFMAIN+).
>  
>  So, the content of the texmf tarball remains completely unchanged
>  in \verb+$TEXMFDIST+ %$
>  and can easily be replaced with a new version without loosing other
>  runtime files that are not provided elsewhere.
>
>\item [changed location for font map files] Following a change
>  introduced with version 1.1 of the \TeX{} Directory Structure (see
>  \dlink{../../../texmf-dist/doc/help}{tds}{\dviext}), font map files
>  (\verb+.map+) are now only searched in subdirectories of
>  \verb+fonts/map+ in each \verb+texmf+ tree. The subdirectories of
>  \verb+fontname+, \verb+dvips+ and \verb+pdftex+ are no longer
>  searched for these files. The \verb+texmf+ trees from this
>  distribution follows this convention, but you might need to
>  rearrange some files if you maintain a local \verb+texmf+ tree.
>  
>  Within the \verb+fonts/map+ tree the files are organized by syntax
>  and package. Known map file syntaxes are \verb+dvips+ (this is the
>  most common one), \verb+pdftex+ (a superset of the \verb+dvips+
>  syntax, e.\,g. the psname field is optional), \verb+dvipdfm+ and
>  \verb+vtex+. If some file is stored within the
>  \verb+fonts/map/dvips+ subtree, this does not mean that \verb+dvips+
>  is the only program that accesses these files. Other programs which
>  support the same syntax can use these files as well. It's just that
>  the program \verb+dvips+ has given its name for this syntax.
>  
>  The next directory level specifies the package that the map file
>  belongs to.  Example: the file \verb+charter.map+ of the
>  \verb+psnfss+ package follows the syntax of \verb+dvips+, so it is
>  stored in \verb+fonts/map/dvips/psnfss/charter.map+.
>  
>  If you happen to see that some application cannot find a map file
>  which is stored in a wrong location, you have to move that file to
>  the right location. Try to find out the syntax and the package that
>  the file belongs to. If unsure, you can always choose ``unknown'',
>  since the only restriction for the directory tree below
>  \verb+fonts/map+ is that all file names are unique. The precise
>  \verb+<syntax>/<package>+ subdirectory does not affect searching. Do
>  not forget to update the filename database (\verb+ls-R+) by running
>  the command \verb+mktexlsr+ (resp.  \verb+texhash+ which is the
>  same).
>
>\item [changed search path for map files] Map files used to be
>  searched along the \verb+$TEXCONFIG+ % $
>  variable (``dvips config'' format in terms of kpathsea internals).
>  This has been changed to the \verb+$TEXFONTMAPS+ % $
>  variable (``map'' format). The new location of the font map files is
>  included in the new default setting of \verb+$TEXFONTMAPS+, % $
>  but not in the default setting of \verb+$TEXCONFIG+. % $
>  The result is that an old application that searches font map files
>  along the ``dvips config'' format will not work.
>  
>  For the ``C'' API of kpathsea this change means that map files
>  should be accessed using \verb+kpse_fontmap_format+ instead of
>  \verb+kpse_dvips_config_format+. For scripts that use kpsewhich, one
>  has to make sure that \verb+--format=map+ is used to search font map
>  files.
>  
>\item [changed location for font encoding files] Together with font
>  map files (see above), the font encoding files have been given a new
>  location, too. The new location is
>  \verb+fonts/enc/<syntax>/<package>+. So, if you happen to see some
>  application to fail finding a font encoding file, just move it to
>  the right location in the texmf tree and update the filename
>  database.
>  
>\item [omission of ``engine'' directories] Within the texmf trees, the
>  directory trees associated with the names of \TeX{} engines (e.\,g.
>  \verb+etex+, \verb+pdftex+, \verb+omega+, \verb+mltex+) are no
>  longer searched for \TeX{} macro packages. This means that the \verb+$TEXINPUTS+ %$
>  search path now lies completely within the \verb+tex+ subtree.
>  
>  If you are using the above mentioned ``obsolete'' locations for
>  \TeX{} macro packages, you have to move them into the \verb+tex+
>  directory tree.

>\subsection{Changes to texconfig / updmap / fmtutil}
>\label{sec:texconfig-changes}
>Following the new directory layout, it is desired not to modify
>the directory tree specified by the \verb+$TEXMFDIST+ % $
>variable any more. This makes it necessary to redirect generated
>output (e.g. map files created by updmap, updated config files)
>somewhere else.
>
>A new approach was taken by the implementation in te\TeX-3.0: two new
>variables have been introduced to specify where to store this data:
>\medskip
>
>\begin{tabular}{ll}
>  TEXMFCONFIG & configuration data\\
>  TEXMFVAR & variable (cached) runtime data
>\end{tabular}
>\medskip
>
>If a te\TeX{} installation is shared among several users, each of them
>can now use te\TeX{}'s configuration tools. For each of the three
>programs, a \verb+-sys+ variant exists. Calling this variant, e.g.
>\verb+texconfig-sys+, is the same as calling the regular variant,
>except that the variables TEXMFCONFIG and TEXMFVAR are redirected to
>TEXMFSYSCONFIG and TEXMFSYSVAR respectively. This means that the
>output trees for these commands will be TEXMFSYSCONFIG and
>TEXMFSYSVAR.
>
>The idea behind this is as follows: in the default settings of te\TeX,
>the variables TEXMFCONFIG and TEXMFVAR point to directories within the
>user's home directories. This means that each user can have his own
>configuration, but this makes it difficult to change the global
>defaults. That's where TEXMFSYSCONFIG and TEXMFSYSVAR come into play.
>These global trees are included in the search paths of all users. By
>using the \verb+-sys+ variant of the tools mentioned above, it becomes
>easy to administrate the global defaults. So, if for example, some
>administrator installs a font-package that comes with a map file in a
>system's tree (e.g.  TEXMFLOCAL), then he should use \verb+updmap-sys+
>to add the new map file to the global configuration.
>
>
>\subsection{Changes to pdf\TeX{}}
>\begin{itemize}
>\item All parameters previously set through the special configuration
>  file \verb+pdftex.cfg+ must now be set through primitives;
>  \verb+pdftex.cfg+ is no longer supported. Some settings (e.g. the
>  default papersize) are loaded via \verb+pdftexconfig.tex+ into the
>  format files.
>\item \verb+\pdfmapfile+ and \verb+\pdfmapline+ provide font map
>  support from within a document.
>\item Microtypographic font expansion can be used more easily.\\
>  \url{http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-pdftex/2004-May/000504.html}
>\item See the pdf\TeX\ manual for more:
>  \dlink{../../../texmf-dist/doc/pdftex/manual}{pdftex-a}{\pdfext}.
>\end{itemize}
>
>\subsection{pdfetex: the new default \TeX{} engine}
>te\TeX{} uses \verb+pdfetex+ for all formats except ``good-old''
>\verb+tex+. So, if you run \verb+latex+, the underlying engine will be
>\verb+pdfetex+. Some (broken) \TeX{} macros assume that pdf\TeX{} is
>running in PDF generation mode if they detect primitives that
>pdf\TeX{} has introduced (e.g. \verb+\pdfoutput+). This is wrong,
>since pdf\TeX{} can also be used (and is used) to generate DVI output.
>A reliable way of detecting PDF output mode is implemented in
>\verb+ifpdf.sty+ which works for plain \TeX{} as well as \LaTeX.
>
>
>\subsection{Changes to xdvik}
>\begin{itemize}
>\item On supported platforms the default toolkit of \verb+xdvi+
>   is now Motif. The GUIs for both toolkits (Motif and Xaw) have
>   been updated: There is a page list for easier navigation and
>   improved menus.  The Motif version now has a toolbar and a
>   `Preferences' dialog for advanced customizations.
>
>   User preferences that are set via this dialog, the `Options'
>   menu and other dialogs are now saved in a file
>   \verb+~/.xdvirc+. This file overrides other X defaults, but
>   not the command-line options. (The option `\verb+-q+' and the X resource
>   `\verb+.noInitFile+' can be used to disable
>   this feature).
>
>\item The new GUI elements can be selectively toggled via the
>   option or the X resource `\verb+-expertmode+', which should be
>   used instead of `\verb+-expert+'\slash`\verb+-statusline+'.
>
>\item The functionality of \verb+oxdvi+ has been merged into
>   \verb+xdvi+; \verb+oxdvi+ no longer exists as a separate binary.
>
>\item \verb+Xdvi+ now supports string search and text selection
>   in DVI files (menu `Modes $\rightarrow$ Text Selection'),
>   printing DVI files and exporting them in PDF, Postscript and
>   plain text format. Pages can be marked with Mouse-2 in the
>   page list to select them for printing\slash saving.
>
>\item By default, \verb+xdvi+ will create a backup copy of the
>   DVI file so that viewing and navigating still works when the
>   DVI file is being written by \TeX.
>
>\item Other new features include: Support for color specials and
>   colored hyperlinks (customizable via the `\verb+linkstyle+
>   option and X resource), a `\verb+-watchfile+' option, a
>   `\verb+-unique+' option for loading new files into a running
>   instance of \verb+xdvi+, support for hyperrefs `hdvips'
>   specials, and a history of recently viewed files via the menu
>   `File $\rightarrow$ Open Recent'.
>\end{itemize}
>
>\subsection{Changes to dvipsk}
>\begin{itemize}
>\item The functionality of \verb+odvips+ has been merged into
>  \verb+dvips+; \verb+odvips+ no longer exists as a separate binary.
>\item Fonts used in included graphics files are no longer partially
>  downloaded.
>\end{itemize}
>
>
>\subsection{Improved documentation}
>\begin{itemize}
>\item The file \verb+doc/index.html+ in the distributed texmf tree
>  provides a much improved overview of the included documentation and
>  also provides a search facility for various \TeX{} related
>  information sources.
>  
>  This file is generated by a PHP script which is included in te\TeX{}
>  as well.

>The file \path+index.html+ in the root of \teTeX's
>documentation tree is a guide for the documentation that is included
>in \teTeX. It is a good point to start when you want to browse through
>the documentation or search for the solution of a specific problem.
>
>\subsection{Internet Newsgroups}
>If you encounter a problem which might not be \teTeX{} specific, but
>rather a general problem with \TeX{} or \LaTeX{} (e.g.,\@ ``How can I
>format a section heading in a different way?''), you should not raise
>your question on one of the mailing lists for \teTeX. In the following
>newsgroups, \TeX-related matters are discussed:
>\begin{description}
>\item [comp.text.tex] General things about \TeX{}.
>\item [news.answers] FAQs (also \TeX-related FAQs).
>\item [comp.answers] FAQs (also \TeX-related FAQs).
>\item [de.comp.text.tex] General things about \TeX{} (German).
>\item [fr.comp.text.tex] General things about \TeX{} (French).
>\item [comp.fonts] Font matters.
>\item [comp.programming.literate] Literate programming.
>\end{description}
>
>\subsection{\TeX{} User Groups}
>If you enjoy \TeX{}, you can join a \TeX{} user group to get support
>and software and help the \TeX{} community by your membership. The web
>site of the \TeX{} User Group (TUG), \path|http://tug.org/| has the
>necessary contact information for several \TeX{} user groups.
>
>
>\subsection{Mailing Lists}
>All \teTeX{} mailing lists are hosted on the same server which is
>managed by Majordomo software. Administrative requests,
>e.g.,\@ to (un)subscribe or to get an archive of a list are handled by
>the address: \path|majordomo@dbs.uni-hannover.de| To get a list
>of available commands that the Majordomo server understands, just send the
>message ``help'' to the server (in the body of a message, not in the
>header). The lists are:
>\begin{description}
>\item[tetex] General discussions + bug reports about \teTeX. General
>  \TeX{} matters that are not \teTeX-specific are not discussed.
>  Especially general questions about \TeX{} should \emph{not} be
>  directed to this list; use a newsgroup instead.
>\item[tetex-announce] This (moderated, low traffic) list is used for
>  important announcements about \teTeX, such as new releases or important
>  updates.
>\item[tetex-pretest] This is used to discuss beta versions of \teTeX{}
>  and to report bugs in these versions. Bug reports about official
>  (non-beta) releases should not be send here, but to the \texttt{tetex}
>  list.
>\end{description}
>
>Some of the packages which are contained in \teTeX{} (e.g.,\@ Omega
>and pdf\TeX) have special mailing lists or web resources on their own.
>The web site of TUG, \path+http://tug.org/+ has links to many of them.
>
>
>\subsection{Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN)}
>To aid the archiving and retrieval of \TeX{}-related files, a TUG
>(TeX User Group) working group developed the Comprehensive \TeX{}
>Archive Network (CTAN).  Each CTAN site has identical material, and
>maintains authoritative versions of its material.  These collections
>are extensive; in particular, almost everything mentioned in this
>article is archived at the CTAN sites, even if its location isn't
>explicitly stated.
>
>The CTAN sites are currently \verb|dante.ctan.org|,
>\verb|cam.ctan.org| and \verb|tug.ctan.org|.  The organization of
>\TeX{} files on all these sites is identical and starts at
>\path|/tex-archive|.  To reduce network load, please use the CTAN site
>or mirror closest to you.  A complete and current list of CTAN sites
>and known mirrors can be obtained by using the \verb|finger| utility
>on `user' \verb|ctan@cam.ctan.org| (it also works with the other CTAN
>hosts); it is also available as file \path|help/ctan/CTAN.sites| in
>\teTeX's documentation tree.
>
>
>\subsection{The \TeX{} Catalogue}
>
>This catalogue lists many \TeX, \LaTeX, and related packages and
>tools.  Most are available worldwide online from CTAN, the
>Comprehensive TeX Archive Network. Links are provided in this
>catalogue to available sources and documentation. The \teTeX{}
>documentation tree contains a version of this catalogue in
>\path|help/Catalogue|. The most recent online version is available at
>\begin{center}
>\url{http://texcatalogue.sarovar.org/}
>\end{center}
>
>\subsection{Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)}
>Documents which list frequently asked questions and their answers (in
>short: FAQs) are collections of solutions to many common problems. The
>documentation tree of \teTeX{} contains the \teTeX{} FAQ in the
>directory \path|tetex| and the UKTUG FAQ in the directory
>\path|help/faq/uktug-faq|. The \teTeX{} FAQ can be read by the
>command \verb+texconfig faq+.
