===========================================================================
  This is the announce of the official teTeX-0.3.3 release which
  is the successor of teTeX-0.2 and all prereleases of teTeX-0.3.
  teTeX-0.3.3 supports many UNIX compatible platforms and is no
  longer Linux-only (teTeX-0.2 was a Linux distribution).
===========================================================================

The new distribution is available from

	sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de
	/pub/comp/tex/teTeX/distrib

and will hopefully replace the old teTeX-0.2 on CTAN, sunsite.unc.edu
and their mirrors.

As for CTAN (i.e. the 3 hosts: ftp.dante.de, ftp.shsu.edu, ftp.tex.ac.uk),
the teTeX-0.3.3 distribution will propably appear in
	/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/distrib
in the near future. Try 'finger ctan_us@ftp.SHSU.edu' to find a CTAN
mirror near to your site.

===========================================================================
  The most important changes with respect to the 0.2.X version:
===========================================================================
- support for many common UNIX platforms: SunOS, Solaris, Irix, Linux,
    AIX, HP-UX

  I do not know teTeX yet...
===========================================================================
For those who do not know what teTeX is: teTeX is a complete TeX
distribution for UNIX compatible systems. My main aims when putting
things together have been:

	- create something simple to install, use and maintain
	- include as much useful documentation as possible
	- test as much as possible and try to avoid bugs

===========================================================================
 Here - in short - the main features of teTeX, as listed in the file
 FEATURES:
===========================================================================

Main features of the teTeX distribution:

- file organisation orientated at the upcoming TDS (TeX Directory Standard)
- very easy to install and customize (install.sh and texconfig utility)
- LaTeX2e (June 1995) patch level 3 together with lots of
  extra LaTeX packages (most packages mentioned in the LaTeX Companion)
- a lot of documentation: more than 100 dvi-files, teTeX manual, teTeX
  FAQ and TeX FAQ
- support for read-only inputs tree (i.e. possible to use alternate
  destination for newly created fonts)
- ready for a multi platform setup
- fast file searching. web2c was patched to work with kpathsea-2.6. The
  search paths are chosen to give high performance.
- run-time configuration files for dvi-drivers and tex+friends.
- a nice set of fonts to play with: PostScript fonts, ams, pandora, cm,
  dc, oldgerman. All easily accessible by LaTeX.
- the whole distribution can be installed anywhere in the
  filesystem (e.g. /usr/TeX or /usr/local/tex). You do not
  need to set any environment variable as long as you keep
  the original structure of the package.
- mailing list for discussion: tetex@informatik.uni-hannover.de
