1 What is it?

Welcome to fpTEX!

This is a Windows native port of the well known teTEX Unix distribution of TEX. It consists of a set of Win32 programs, which even if they mainly are console mode applications, are not MS-Dos programs. They do run in a console, but are true 32bit-programs that won’t run under MS-Dos or even Windows 3.1.

The current version of fpTEX is 0.4, and is based upon modified version of teTEX 1.0.7 as of february 2000 and modified version of Web2C 7.3.2 .

The distribution attempts to provide a complete TEX system, ie everything from the editor, the compilers up to the viewers and various tools to output your files to different formats (PS, PDF, HTML).

A special thanks! to Sebastian Rahtz for all his work on the TEX-Live CD-ROM, for maintaining the most complete texmf tree and for having setup the Perforce server which holds all the source tree for this distribution and its Unix counterpart.
