Non-standard versions

If you feel the need to make a version of L^ATEX that differs from the standard version in ways that are not possible using the above configuration possibilities, then you should first read Modifying L^ATEX in the file modguide.tex; this will probably make you realise that you do not have any such need.

Thus we are sure that you will never need to create a non-standard version and, even if you do create one, we hope that you will not distribute such a version. Nevertheless, you are permitted to do this provided you take great care to do the following:

• respect the conditions in legal.txt and individual files regarding modification of files and changing the name;

• change all the relevant `\typeout banners': i.e. those produced by all the non-standard files in your version and by the format;

• ensure that the method used to run your version is clearly distinguished from that used to run standard L^ATEX; e.g. by using a command name or menu entry that is clearly different from latex (or LaTeX etc).
