Can the stand alone do this

["jdh" <dhenman@xxxxxxxxx>]

I would like to convert a .texi file into a pdf file.
Normally this is done as shown in the example below:

   $ texi2pdf zsh-manual.texi

which will generate a pdf file entitled  "zsh-manual.pdf"

But I get the following error message:

" You don't have a working TeX binary (tex) installed anywhere in
  your PATH, and texi2dvi cannot proceed without one.  If you want to use
  this script, you'll need to install TeX (if you don't have it) or change
  your PATH or TEX environment variable (if you do).  See the --help
  output for more details."

I believe that the standalone has the tex functionality in it somewhere.
Is it possible to create a link called 'tex' to some program in the standalone suite?
