@@@STARTPACK(tex;TeX text formatting and typesetting)
<P>
TeX formats the interspersed text and commands contained
in the named files and outputs a typesetter independent
file (called DVI, which is short for DeVice Independent).
TeX capabilities and language are described in The TeX book.
<P>
TeX is normally used with a large body of precompiled
macros, and there are several specific formatting systems,
such as LaTeX, which require the support of several macro
files. The basic programs as compiled are called initex
and virtex, and are distinguished by the fact that initex
can be used to precompile macros into a .fmt file, which
is used by virtex. On the other hand, virtex starts more
quickly and can read a precompiled .fmt file, but it can-
not create one. It is the version of TeX which is usually
invoked in production, as opposed to installation.
