TeX is a computer typesetting language, authored by Donald Knuth at
Stanford University.
DosTeX is Electronetics, Incorporated's port of TeX to the Microsoft
MSDOS Operating system for IBM-compatible personal computers.
The DosTeX implementation is copyright (c) Electronetics, Inc.
Redistribution information is in the file COPYING.DOC
DosTeX is a complete and true implementation of TeX, version 2.7,
having passed the `trip' verification suite. This distribution
contains versions of TeX, LaTeX (Leslie Lamport's macro package)
and AmSTeX (American Mathematical Society's macro package).
System requirements are 640K memory and 4.5Mb disk space.
Also included is a .dvi file-reading program to postprocess
DosTeX output. It is intended to drive an Epson printer at
240 dots per inch horizontal resolution and 216 dots per inch
vertical resolution. It is an experimental version adapted from the
public domain family of .dvi driver programs written by Nelson Beebe
at the University of Utah.
The main user documentation for DosTeX is "The TeXbook" by Donald
Knuth, published by Addison-Wesley (ISBN 0-201-13488-9). The
main documentation for LaTeX is "LaTeX: A Document Preparation System"
by Leslie Lamport, published by Addison-Wesley (ISBN 0-201-15790-X).
Basic documentation for the .dvi drivers is contained in
the file dvieps.doc.
