This is to announce a WWW site completely devoted to TeX and friends.
The site is located at the LORIA research center at Nancy, France,
which is also a CTAN mirror (ftp.loria.fr, cd ctan:).
The main purpose of ``The LaTeX Navigator'' is to provide documentation
about macros, packages, formats, tools, TeX engines, to give pointers, etc.
Currently more than 200 .dvi or .ps files are proposed and this amount
is constantly growing. (therefore any contribution or idea of contribution
will be most welcome)

The top pages are written in three languages: french, english and german
and you can choose which you like, though the underlying documents
are mostly in english (except our local guide). The german pages
are far from perfect, but we will improve that soon ...

The top english page shows the following items:

     General documentation about (La)TeX 
     The (La)TeX local guide of our site (LORIA) (in French) 
     Bibliography and indexes 
     Literate programming 
     Classes 
     Macros and packages 
     Fonts and symbols 
     Graphics 
     Formats and tools 
     Engines and distributions 
     Historical documents 
     FAQs, ftp, miscellaneous ... 
     File search on the CTAN archive (ftp.loria.fr) 
     WWW servers dedicated to (La)TeX 


Feel free to wander through these pages and don't hesitate to report
problems to latex@loria.fr (for instance unreadable files, 
or files using unsual fonts for instance).
