: ===============================================================
: 4TEX: a complete and an user friendly TeX shell for DOS systems
: ===============================================================
:
: TeX and all its companions offer an enormous amount of possibilities. This
: is both an advantage and a disadvantage. The advantage is that almost
: anything is possible; the disadvantage is that you need detailed knowledge
: of all related programs to fully exploit the possibilities.
:
:
: 4TeX
: ----
: The MS-DOS program 4TeX (4allTeX) is an attempt to integrate ALL major TeX
: related programs in a shell that shields you from the tedious and frustrating
: job of setting environment variables and program parameters, generating
: formats, looking for specific .sty files, encountering all different types
: of installation problems, etcetc.
: 4TeX contains a large set of utilities (graphics, metafont, bibTeX, etc),
: spellingchecker (UK, US, DE, FR, NL, SP), a huge set of hyphenation files
: (installed by `pushing the button' principle!) and a large set of conversion
: tools (including WP to LaTeX/TeX converters).
: Local network is fully supported.
: 4TeX uses the latest version of emTeX.
:
:
: 4TeX on ftp
: ---- -- ---
: 4TeX is available from the anonymous file server.
: Within a week you will be informed about the ftp-site where the latest
: version (3.10) is available.
: The current ftp-sites (RUU.nl, TUE.nl, CTAN) contain OLD versions!!
: Contact `4TeX-support at eco.rug.nl' if you have serious installation problems.
:
:
: 4TeX discussion list
: ---- ---------- ----
: There is a mailing/discussion list called 4TeX, on which users discuss
: problems, remarks, tricks and (future) developments of 4TeX. Purely TeX
: related problems should NOT be discussed here, unless they concern programs
: integrated in 4TeX. You can join the club by sending the following
: line to `listserv at nic.surfnet.nl':
:       subscribe 4TeX Your Name
: where `Your Name' is of course your personal name.
:
:
: 4TeX on CD-ROM
: ---- -- ------
: Soon 4TeX will appear on CD-ROM.
: The CD will contain a complete running installation of 4TeX, PLUS many
: extras such as the Dutch TeX magazines (MAPS) of several years in
: PostScript format, public domain (PostScript) fonts and other gadgets.
