KerTeXTake care of TeX! |
 |
What
This is a TeX kernel system providing what everything is based upon: Donald E. Knuth's Digital Typography system; with some useful additions.
This system includes, of course, METAFONT and TeX; but auxiliaries are also included.
All the programs (latest published version) are included here.
In addition, other programs linked to Tomas Rokicki's dvi to PostScript driver (dvips(1)) are added. Oren Patashnik's BibTeX (0.99d) is here too! John Hobby's MetaPost is included! The NTS team e-TeX is here! And D.E. Knuth and Silvio Levy' CWEB are here too!
And since kerTeX aims to be a TeX system, a packaging framework has been developed for it too!
This is the 0.9999.7.8 version (for kerTeX_T) that includes all the programs.

The planning is:
- 1.0 : 2D display (x11 and rio) for METAFONT.
More about the description, the installation and the running in the README.
Licences
KerTeX passes the TRAP (METAFONT), TRIP (TeX), TWIST (MetaPost) and ETRIP (e-TeX) controls and so is conform to the licences whose extract is given here for TeX (see the sources for the whole details):
[TeX] This program is copyright (C) 1982 by D. E. Knuth; all rights are reserved. Copying of this file is authorized only if (1) you are D. E. Knuth, or if (2) you make absolutely no changes to your copy. (The WEB system provides for alterations via an auxiliary file; the master file should stay intact.) See Appendix H of the WEB manual for hints on how to install this program. And see Appendix A of the TRIP manual for details about how to validate it. TeX is a trademark of the American Mathematical Society.
[METAFONT] This program is copyright (C) 1984 by D. E. Knuth; all rights are reserved. Copying of this file is authorized only if (1) you are D. E. Knuth, or if (2) you make absolutely no changes to your copy. (The WEB system provides for alterations via an auxiliary file; the master file should stay intact.) In other words, METAFONT is under essentially the same ground rules as TeX. METAFONT is a trademark of Addison-Wesley Publishing Company.
Other programs or data, compiled or added from sources external to kerTeX_T, all have licences compatibles with kerTeX one and the use done. (See their sources for more details.)
The risk_comp, kertex_M and kertex_T licences, packages made by Thierry Laronde, are of a BSD type with simplified recognition (``publicity'') claused. See the table below for downloads.
KerTeX has been derived, for a significant part, from Web2C version 5.0C (public domain, 1990). But it is also significantly different. The work of the following authors has been used (extract from the licences):
- kertex_M : Tomas Rokicki for original web2c.
- kertex_M : Tim Morgan for auxiliary programs (fixwrites, splitup).
- kertex_T : Donald E. Knuth, of course!
- kertex_T : Tomas Rokicki for dvips (5.76, public domain).
- kertex_T : John Hobby, ATT, for MetaPost (0.641, public domain).
Downloads
Both the sources and the patches are gzip compressed and are provided with a GNUpg detached signature so that you can ensure that what you have actually retrieved matches what the release manager has put online.
At the moment, the release manager is Thierry LARONDE, and you can retrieve his public key from the keyserver pgp.mit.edu.
