             unzip mimetex.zip README
          and then place this separate copy of README
          alongside mimetex.zip in the support/mimetex
          directory.  Thanks.)
  + what licensing conditions you apply to your software
      GNU GPL
  + brief summary of what your upload is intended to do.
      Various new features and fixes since the last point
      release, and updated documentation.
    ----------------------------------------------------
    From the original submission...
      MimeTeX, licensed under the gpl, lets you easily embed
      LaTeX math in your html pages.  It parses a LaTeX math
      expression and immediately emits the corresponding gif
      image, rather than the usual TeX dvi.
           And mimeTeX is an entirely separate little program
      that doesn't use TeX or its fonts in any way.  It's just
      one cgi that you put in your site's cgi-bin/ directory,
      with no other dependencies.  So mimeTeX is very easy to
      install.  And it's equally easy to use.  Just place an
      html <img> tag in your document wherever you want to see
      the corresponding LaTeX expression.  For example,
       <img src=../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?f(x)=int_{-infty}^xe^{-t^2}dt
        border=0 align=absmiddle>
      generates and displays the corresponding gif image
      on-the-fly, wherever you put that <img> tag.  MimeTeX
      doesn't need intermediate dvi-to-gif conversion, and it
      doesn't clutter your filesystem with separate little gif
      files for each converted expression.  (Optional image
      caching does store gif files, and subsequently reads them
      as needed, rather than re-rendering the same images every
      time a page is reloaded.)
           See      http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.html
      for examples illustrating mimeTeX's features and usage.

i've installed the upload as requested -- thanks for it.
