Description-en: Support files for building ASCII pTeX
This package actually contains a fragment of the latest teTeX source
tarball(will be placed in /usr/src). Since ASCII pTeX is provided as a set
of additional source files to teTeX source tree, you need to install this
package when you build ptex-bin package. A little shell script to
strip down big teTeX source tarball is also included.
.
You don't need to install this package to have a running pTeX system.
