NTeX Release 2.1.0
==================
NTeX is a TeX distribution for Linux. It is compiled in ELF format
with gcc 2.7.2. You need at least libc V5.3.9 and libm V5.0.5. The
TeXInfo package needs libncurses V2.1 (1.9.7a). It also provides a
shared version of kpathsea V2.6. The X clients require the X11R6
libraries. Please read the file INSTALL for the installation
procedure. NTeX consists of 6 package sets base, extras, fonts,
japanese, languages, sources and the installation files in ntex. The
binaries for other Unix systems could be found in systems (you need
the GNU tools for the installation!). For details about the packages
and their location read the file INDEX. You don't have to get all the
packages. Read INDEX carefully and only get those packages you want to
install. You can find more information about NTeX in the files
NTeX.lsm and NTeX.announce. The changes of NTeX version 2 are recorded
in the files CHANGES and known bugs could be found in BUGS. Quick
fixes for some of the bugs might be in the directory fixes. In this
case the details are provided in BUGS.
NTeX is also available for non-Linux systems. Either get a binary
package from the systems subdirectory and install it using the
`Install Binary Package' option from the tools menu of InstallNTeX or
compile the sources yourself.
If you have serious problems, comments, suggestions or bug reports
contact me. Please read the latest version of the file BUGS
first. Fixes or more information an certain bugs are always welcome.
I will try my best to answer your mail and/or remove the bugs. If you
have own programs, macros, fonts, etc. or you are using something like
this which you would like to contribute to this distribution, get in
contact with me. Please note that the time I can send for NTeX is
limited. So before you send me a mail, please check all other
information resources that are available to you. My main job is still
studying maths and I do not intend to change this (unless I get my
diploma). Please send bug reports to
ntex-bug@darfnix.mathematik.uni-stuttgart.de
or to the NTeX mailing list (see below). Please don't bother the
authors of the programs since I changed quite a lot. For help write to
ntex-help@darfnix.mathematik.uni-stuttgart.de
or to the NTeX mailing list. Please note that I do not have the time
to answer general questions about TeX. The above addresses are only
for problems specific to NTeX.
There is also a mailing list for NTeX. It is `semi-moderated', so only
members can directly post to the list. Mails from non-members will
first be send to me for approvement. Yet everyone who wants to susbscribe
to the list is welcome. To subscribe to the list send an e-mail with the
body
subscribe your@email.address
to
ntex-request@darfnix.mathematik.uni-stuttgart.de
To unsubscribe send an e-mail with the body
unsubscribe your@email.address
to the same address. If you want to send some mail to the list, send
it to
ntex@darfnix.mathematik.uni-stuttgart.de
For more information about this list's listserver send a mail with the
body `HELP' to listserv@darfnix.mathematik.uni-stuttgart.de. The
list is intended for discussion of NTeX, bug reports, help requests
and announcements of new releases, fixes, new or changed packages,
etc. (only the mails about new releases will also be send to the
newsgroup comp.os.linux.announce).
The URL of the NTeX WWW home page is
http://www.mathematik.uni-stuttgart.de/mathB/lst3/langbein/ntex.html
I'll try to provide information about new releases, bug fixes, etc.
there. If you have some problem with NTeX and access to the WWW have
a look at this page first.
