LaTeX is a macro-package for the TeX document processing system. Tetex
is a version of TeX that has been compiled with Web2C [1] and packaged
up so it runs nicely under Unix systems. In addition to the TeX
processor, tetex also includes a number of support files, such as the
LaTeX macro package (tetex-latex, under FC4).
[1] TeX is written in a variant of Pascal called Web. Web2C converts
Web code to C, so they can be compiled with standard Unix C
compilers.
