Hi,
	As the author of TtH, referred to in your BSD ports page
http://www.freebsd.org/ports/textproc.html
I want to ask that you correct the list of programs that you say
TtH "requires":
'Requires: XFree86-3.3.3.1, ghostscript-5.10, gsfonts-5.10, jpeg-6b,
netpbm-94.3.1, png-1.0.3, teTeX-0.4, tiff-3.4b37'

In point of fact, TtH "requires" none of the programs you list.
It will use some of them [but never XFree or tiff] in some situations if
they are available. But it is one of the strengths of TtH that it DOES
NOT require this other stuff, [unlike some of the competing LaTeX
translators]. Therefore your list gives a completely false impression,
which I ask you to correct.

Thanks,
	Ian Hutchinson.
