\begin{abstract}
This document describes the features, use and installation of
\mctex\footnote
{\mctex\ was once called C-\TeX,
but this name was deemed too confusing,
since it never contained a \TeX,
although the programs were all in C.},
the Maryland \Unix\footnote
{\Unix\ is a trademark of AT\&T Bell Laboratories.
imPRESS is a trademark of Imagen Corporation.
\ps\ is a trademark of Adobe Systems Inc.
SunView is a trademark of Sun Microsystems Inc.
X11 is not a trademark.}
\TeX\ collection of programs.
These include \dvi-to-device conversion programs (called `drivers') for
imPRESS printers,
\ps\ printers,
and Versatec electrostatic printer/plotter units;
\dvi\ previewers for
SunView
and for X11;
and the \dvi\ page selection program, \dviselect.

The exact authorship of the various programs is now rather murky,
but most of the code is by Dirk Grunwald and Chris Torek.
Steve Eichin of MIT contributed to the development of \texx.

\section{Introduction}
This document is structured into several major sections.
All but the last are user's guides to the various pieces of \mctex,
and are the only sections of interest for most people.
The last section covers installation of the system,
and includes some details that users might find helpful
when something goes wrong.
A companion guide to the internals of the system is available
for those who wish to extend or modify \mctex.

\section{Installation Guide}
The rest of this guide can be ignored by casual users.
It pertains to installing, porting, and extending the software.
Installation of \mctex\ is usually done by a system
administrator.
