The \abbr{TDS} cannot require any particular restriction on filenames in
the tree, since the names of many existing \TeX{} files conform to no
! particular scheme. For the benefit of people who wish to make a portable
\TeX{} distribution or installation, however, we outline here the
necessary restrictions. The \abbr{TDS} specifications themselves are
compatible with these.

+ Before the December 1996 release, \LaTeX{} used mixed-case names for
+ font descriptor files. Fortunately, it never relied on case alone to

Consequently, most of the first trials of the \abbr{TDS} will be made by
members of the \abbr{TDS} committee and/or developers of \TeX{}-related
! software. Indeed, some of this has taken place during the course of our
deliberations (see Appendix~\ref{sec:Related references} for a sample
tree available electronically). They will certainly result in the
production of a substantial number of \abbr{TDS}-compliant packages.

Once installable forms of key \abbr{TDS}-compliant packages are more
widespread, some \TeX{} administrators will set up \abbr{TDS}-compliant

An alternative was to use the utility name below which all such
directories could be gathered. That has the advantage of separating,
say, \path|gsftopk|-generated bitmaps from \path|ps2pk|-generated ones.
! However, we decided this was not sufficient; most sites will use only
one program for the purpose. Also, we specify that every font
identifies its creator in specials in the font file itself.
