These include the plain-TeX macros and the hyphenation tables for several languages. eof } web2c.tgz-help() { pkginfo BASE "web2c" 2015k REQUIRED 6.1 cat << eof This package contains the binaries for TeX, BibTeX, Metafont and some fontutils (e.g. dvicopy, gftopk). They are linked against the latest kpathsea library (with some extra features added by me). The search paths can be given not only via environment variables, but also in config files. As a new feature, the search paths are relative to the location where the binaries reside. Therefore, you can install teTeX in any place in your filesystem and you need not to change the config-file or to set any environment variables. eof }
