milieu.tz contains what passes for documentation for now. readme.txt.z is an ascii version (unedited output fm dvi2tty) send "bug" reports to tdunbar@vtaix.cc.vt.edu the binaries here (and in the SLS tex archives) are based on web2c-5.851d. that package is for TeX 3.141 and METAFONT 2.71 i have updated to TeX 3.1415 and Tangle 4.4, see the diffs. i've also made a few changes (bugfix in openinout.c, prompt in mf, paths) from the std distribution. i see no need to recompile for newer c or X libs. the actual TeX and METAFONT programs are changing very little nowdays- Knuth has pronounced them complete. thus the Linux TeX archives are not apt to change frequently. (the main area of activity is the forthcoming LaTeX 3 macro package, but that has nothing to do with compilation, etc for Linux. rather ftp to pip.shsu.edu and get whatever macro packages you need) nevertheless, i like to think the binaries here are the most uptodate anywhere (for any os). if that's not the case, let me know. thomas (tdunbar@vtaix.cc.vt.edu or for Mosaic: http://milieu.grads.vt.edu/ )
