fptex -- Web2C based TeX system for Win32
About fptex	English (USA)
Web2C is a port of the TeX system to the C language. This port is at the heart of the widely used teTeX distribution of TeX for Unix. In 1997, Web2C has been ported natively to Windows by Fabrice Popineau. It has been included on the TeXLive cdrom as the Win32 platform. It is also available as a standalone distribution under the name fpTeX. The distribution attempts to provide a complete TeX system for the Win32 platforms, ie everything from the editor, the compilers up to the viewers and various tools to output your files to different formats (PS, PDF, HTML). Fabrice Popineau is not the author of most of the tools. He only gathers the ones that seems to be useful in this context and to provide a fullblown environment. His work has been made much more easier by Sebastian Rahtz who is maintaining the `texmf' tree for the TeXLive cdrom, and who set up the Perforce server to handle the source files repository for the TeXLive's project programs.
