[comp.unix.questions] TeX Info

flash@lehi3b15.CSEE.Lehigh.EDU (Stephen Corbesero) (12/15/87)

Could someone give me information on TeX?  Specifically, what do I
need to use it?  I FTP'ed the C source from Berkeley, but where do I
get the documentation and other support files?

Thanks in advance.....

As far as documentation goes, _The_TeXbook_ by Donald Knuth (Addison
Wesley Publishing Company, ISBN 0-201-13447-0) is excellent.

If you use the LaTeX package with TeX, you'll want to check out
_LaTeX_Users_Guide_&_Reference_Manual by Leslie Lamport (Addison-Wesley 
Publishing Company, ISBN 0-201-15790-X).

There's also a TeX Users Group at:
