******                  e-pTeX build 100420                     ******
----------------------------------------------------------------------

    This program, ``e-pTeX'', is development of e-TeX, and it has
features of Japanese pTeX. Because of this, perhaps ``pe-TeX'' is 
better name for this software, but because of historical reasons, 
I decided to continue to use ``e-pTeX'' as the name of this software.
(When I developed e-pTeX first, this is ``e-TeX extension of pTeX''.
 And moreover, there was another ``peTeX'' (about 2007.12--2008.1, 
 abandoned by appearance of e-pTeX) by Akira Kakuto.)

    In addition to features of pTeX, e-pTeX can use 256 math font 
families (this feature is realized by fam256.ch, based on Omega's 
source code). This extension developed in mind that pTeX usually use
more two families than original TeX (`Mincho' and `Gothic').

    e-pTeX is developed as the project in the course named ``Computing
for Mathematicians II''(http://ks.ms.u-tokyo.ac.jp/ (in Japanese), 2007
Winter), and it is licensed under modified BSD (same as pTeX, ptexenc).

    Thanks to Noriyuki Abe, Akira Kakuto, Takuji Tanaka, Takayuki Yato, 
Yusuke Kuroki and others for many help.
