the basic, standard TeX stuff has been moved into the SLS subdirs
(ie ../SLS/t[1-3], etc) see SLS.tex.files for file lists
I compiled the binaries with gcc-2.3.3, 4.3 libs (xdvi and
mf require the 3.0 X libs)
NOTE: more recent binaries, etc. are in the packages in the Milieu
subdir.

for mf graphic support, in your .Xdefaults file, add:
mf*height: 480
mf*width: 640
or whatever you want (to change the default origin position,
edit plain.mf and make a new format)
Printer support: texbin.tpz contains a laserjet driver (source:
ftp.wu-wien.ac.at pub/src/Typeset/dvi2xx)
for PostScript, Rokicki's dvips is best
(ftp labrea.stanford.edu or neon.stanford.edu
for source and support files)
- for ur convenience, i've included dvilj package
and dvips package.
TeX archive sites:
pip.shsu.edu Comprehensive TeX Site
ftp.tex.ac.uk Comprehensive TeX Site
labrea.stanford.edu Knuth's home site
ftp.cs.umb.edu Karl Berry's home site (eplain, web2c)
rusinfo.rus.uni-stuttgart.de home site for new LaTeX styles
of Mittelbach and Schoepf
REFERENCES:
Gentle.tex.Z good intro to Plain TeX (included texdoc.tpz )
Knuth's The TeXbook/The MetaFontbook are std. refs, there are also
many good introductions and comprehensive textbooks around,
look in your library or bookstore (I recommend ``TeX for
the Impatient'')
comp.text.tex is the usenet group for TeX.
A FAQ and site list is avail at: cs.nyu.edu in dir ~ftp/pub/tex
i'll try to answer questions about TeX and MetaFont, both as typesetting
utilities and as programming languages in their own right.
