NAME

kpsetool - script to make teTeX-style kpsetool, kpsexpand, and kpsepath available

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

kpsetool is a Bourne shell script that makes a teTeX-style kpsetool, kpsexpand, and kpsepath available. kpsetool uses web2c's (new) kpsexpand binary, so the syntax for kpsexpand is incompatible with teTeX's as of version 0.4.
