- Greetings!
-
- This is the TEX master distribution disk. It includes a copy of the
- current version of TEX (0.51, dated 18 Sep 88) along with source code in C
- for all of the TEX XFCNs. This disk also holds copies of the stand-alone
- applications (and their source code) for MultIndexer (version 0.41),
- qndxr (version 0.41), and brwsr (version 0.2). There is source code for
- the Sun/VAX/etc. version of qndxr and brwsr as well. Finally, the disk
- contains all of TEXAS version 0.27 source code and a copy of the TEXAS
- version 0.27 stack itself. I have used Raymond Lau's STUFFIT to save
- space and provide redundant copies of the applications.
-
- TEX is being freely distributed, but I ask that you read the "Help"
- information in the stack and, if you enjoy using TEX, send in the nominal
- license fee requested there. That will register you so that I can send
- you information about new releases, among other things. It will also
- encourage me to work further on this software and will let me add some
- interesting features which I have in mind.
-
- Please share copies of this software with your friends, post it on
- various networks and bulletin boards, etc. Send me your bug reports as
- well as suggestions for improvements and copies of your customized,
- enhanced, modified stacks based on TEX, please!
-
- I would be thrilled to learn of people's successes using TEX in their
- work and play. I also would love to hear from people who have taken my
- index structures and algorithms and rewritten or extended them to add
- new features that can be of help to the world.
-
- After fixing one major and one minor bug between version 0.26 and 0.27
- of the public-domain stack TEXAS, I can no longer promise to work further
- on it. TEX is much enhanced over TEXAS, and I think that you will
- appreciate its new features such as multi-dataspace browsing and
- subspace exploration. Send in your license fee to get on my mailing list
- for announcements of new versions of TEX and other news and
- developments in the world of real-time, high-bandwidth, free-text
- dataspace navigation. Help support me in my efforts to extend and improve
- TEX for you. Join the adventure!
