- The 15 meg SVR4 binary release of TeX 3.14 is the correct one to get.
- A full TeX implementation does take a lot of space but the sacrifice
- in disk space is worth it for all of the beautiful documents you will create
- with it. Actually, you're going to need more because you'll also want to
- get (at least) the psfig and dvips packages at Stanford (I believe it's
- labrea.stanford.edu).
