input files and the support files for -related utilities shall be stored in:

package is the name of a package. At the present writing none exist, but the TWG thought it wise to leave room for contributed packages that might be written in the future.

The TDS reserves the following package names:

• |base|, for the standard macro files, such as |plain.mp|, |mfplain.mp|, |boxes.mp|, and |graph.mp|. This includes files used by when dumping mem files containing preloaded macro definitions.

• |local|, for local additions. See Section 2.3.

• |misc|, for packages consisting of only a single file.

• |support|, for additional input files required by utility programs, including a font map, a character adjustment table, and a subdirectory containing low-level programs for rendering some special characters.
