is distributed with the latest implementation of LATEX (formerly
called LATEX 2e). This new version of LATEX is described in
the 2nd edition of LATEX: A Document Preparation System by Leslie Lamport
and The LATEX Companion by Michel Goossens, Frank Mittelbach and
Alexander Samarin. Both books are published by Addison-Wesley.
A number of important LATEX packages are provided.
The psnfss
package makes it easy to switch to PostScript text fonts
instead of Computer Modern.
The graphics
package makes it easy to include Macintosh graphic files.
See the documentation and test files in the
PSNFSS
and Graphics
sub-folders in TeX-inputs.
Other common packages are kept in the Tools
sub-folder.
More information about LATEX can be found in the .tex files
in the LaTeX
sub-folder.
The LATEX system included with is not a full distribution
(which is way too big for most users).
After installing the base files and the above packages, I deleted all the .dtx, .ins and .fdd files,
as well as a few other files that were irrelevant for users.
If you need a file or package not provided in , then you can ftp it
from any CTAN site or mirror. The following table should help:
Sub-folder in TeX-inputs Corresponding CTAN directory
LaTeX /tex-archive/macros/latex/unpacked
Graphics /tex-archive/macros/latex/packages/graphics
PSNFSS /tex-archive/macros/latex/packages/psnfss
Tools /tex-archive/macros/latex/packages/tools
If you only need one or two files then ask me first and I might have a
copy I can send by e-mail, but you must be a registered user!
