decus-tex@nieland.DAYTON.OH.US (09/04/90)

                              Announcing

                            DECUS TeX 1990

The DECUS Languages and Tools SIG Public Domain Working Group and the
Electronic Publishing SIG TeX/LaTeX/WEB Working Group are proud to announce 
the 1990 DECUS TeX Collection.  This collection offers nearly everything a TeX
User would want on their system for TeX.

The master tapes for the collection have been sent to DECUS Library and to
the top of the DECUS LUG distribution tree. The new collection will soon be
available to all through their channel for procuring DECUS Software.

This collection is an extensive rework of the previous collection with nearly
all of the material being updated or new.   More DVI drivers have been added
and many of the VMS programs now sport a CLD interface.

Also, an extensive effort on documentation has taken place resulting in a
DECUS TeX Help Library.
