The primary purpose of this document is to describe a standard \TeX\
Directory Structure (TDS) for macros, fonts, and other such
implementation-independent \TeX\ files.  As a matter of practicality, it
also suggests ways to incorporate the rest of the \TeX\ files into a
single structure.  In the not-so-long run a consistent directory
structure will make it much easier to install and maintain \TeX.  We
hope that administrators and developers of both free and commercial
implementations of \TeX\ will adopt this standard.  It has been designed
to work on all modern systems.  In particular, this Technical Working
Group (TWG) believes it is usable under Unix, MS-DOS, OS/2, MacOS, and
VMS.

We hope to publish another draft, or make the final release (depending
on the volume of comments and concerns) shortly after TUG 95.
