Updated package

Summary

TeTeX is an implementation of TeX for Linux or UNIX systems. TeX takes

a text file and a set of formatting commands as input and creates a

typesetter-independent .dvi (DeVice Independent) file as output.

Usually, TeX is used in conjunction with a higher level formatting

package like LaTeX or PlainTeX, since TeX by itself is not very

user-friendly.

Install tetex if you want to use the TeX text formatting system. If

you are installing tetex, you will also need to install tetex-afm (a

PostScript(TM) font converter for TeX),

tetex-dvips (for converting .dvi files to PostScript format

for printing on PostScript printers), tetex-latex (a higher level

formatting package which provides an easier-to-use interface for TeX),

and tetex-xdvi (for previewing .dvi files in X). Unless you are an

expert at using TeX, you should also install the tetex-doc package,

which includes the documentation for TeX.

The Red Hat tetex package also contains software related to Japanese

support for teTeX such as ptex, what is not a part of teTeX project.
