+How I installed emtex, latex2e, mf, dvips, on a 386 w/ postscript or hplaser
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ John Refling, University of California
+ jprefling@lbl.gov [DO NOT SEND REQUESTS HERE]
+ date: 13 January 1995, Version: 12a
+
+Archivists
+~~~~~~~~~~
+This file should be stored on your machine with a basename of 'jrtex12a'.
+in a place related to tex. A one line description of this guide might be:
+"Describes install of emtex, latex2e, hplj & PS on PC"
+
+How to get latest
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+This will be available at simtel mirrors such as wuarchive.wustl.edu
+and oak.oakland.edu in/or near the /pub/msdos/tex directory, and perhaps
+CTAN machines, like ftp.shsu.edu. A similar file which describes an older
+version of emtex installation (pre latex-2e) has basename jrhelp11.
+
+What is this
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+This is a short account of my experiences installing emtex on a few different
+computers, with a few different printers.
+
+Hardware you NEED to follow this guide
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+a 386 or greater computer with reasonable (4MB) ram about 35 meg free space
+ peak for the install (for easy installation, although you can get by with
+ much less if you are willing to really work at it), reduced to ~10 MB
+ disk space permanently (less w/o postscript support and the docs),
+ plus fonts (about 5 MB max).
+
+a reasonable dos version (best if you can recall and edit commands)
+
+a laser printer (postscript or pcl hplaserjet or hplaserjet iv, are tested).
+
+What you get
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+emtex system (tex, latex2e, mf, screen previewer, postscript support)
+dynamically generated fonts if you wish (that's right, I don't generate them
+ until I use `em)
+The emtex system is a great tex / latex system.
+
+A note on the version numbers
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The base name of this document is jrtex which takes 5 characters out of 8
+possible. The next two digits correspond to the betatest version of emtex,
+currently 12. Unfortunately, other pieces of the emtex package change without
+notice and so it is hard to pin a version number on the entire package, which
+I could carry over to this document, plus I might have revisions. The final
+character in this help file's name will serve as a minor revision indicator.
+
+Even so, there might be minor discrepancies between what you see here
+and what is on the net. Perhaps one of the best ways to check for
+revisions on the net would be to check the file's size and/or it's date.
+However, I just don't see any good way to build this info into the name
+of this document. I have included the file size of files obtained from
+the net. When the size indicated is different from the size you received,
+you need to be cautious... most likely a new version has been added to the
+distribution, and you need to take that into account. Sometimes in the
+betatest subdirectory there are multiple versions of the same thing... use
+the latest... even if I don't in this document!
+
+How to do it
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Print out a copy of this file, and follow along with it. CROSS OFF STEPS
+WHEN COMPLETED. You need to be able to transfer files from the internet
+to your PC. You also need pkunzip, and know how to use it. If you use
+unzip, the options are slightly different.
+
+What you don't get
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+This worked for me, but I can't guarantee it for you. You take all
+responsibility for implementing this. You are assumed to know enough
+about what is going on to not do something dangerous even if it says to
+do so here. Besides, someone could have changed this before you got it.
+ALSO, I DON'T COVER MIGRATION FROM THE 2.09 VERSION OF LATEX TO THE NEW
+2E VERSION. I ASSUME A NEW INSTALLATION! Also, this is only how I did
+it! and is not an official guideline, or recommendation. It is possible
+that something in here may guide you contrary to some of the published
+or yet to be published standards. This is provided in the hope that it
+may be useful, in the event that you are having trouble with your
+installation. THAT'S IT. You have been warned!
+
+Introduction
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The emtex distribution was a little confusing to me at first, since I am
+used to obtaining one compressed distribution archive file and working with
+that. When a new version is distributed, one goes back to the ftp site and
+gets the compressed file with the next higher version number.
+
+With emtex, things are spread across directories, not only in terms of package
+components, but also in terms of revision levels. The most serious drawback
+of this method is that it is difficult to determine the revision level of
+programs, or where a particular revision level is. The simpliest way to
+install it is just to install ALL of the archives in order, and let
+them overwrite [hopefully] older versions. Then, you will have the latest
+versions, and you delete what you don't want.
+
+1. OBTAIN THE DISTRIBUTION AND EXTRACT IT AND ARCHIVE IT FOR LATER
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+a. cd \
+
+b. use ftp to connect to a distribution machine, ftp.dante.de,
+ ftp.shsu.edu, wuarchive.wustl.edu, etc, and get to the emtex directory
+ something like /tex-archive/systems/msdos/emtex. We wish to grab all the
+ files in the disk1, disk2, disk3, disk4, disk5, betatest subdirs.
+ MAKE SURE YOU SET BINARY MODE BEFORE THE TRANSFER OF BINARY FILES.
+ One way to do it all is as follows (assuming that the remote ftp server
+ has on-the-fly compression):
+
+ ftp ftp.shsu.edu
+ cd /tex-archive/systems/msdos
+ bin
+ hash
+ get emtex.zip [15,173,126]
+
+ This will recursively get everything. Last time I tried it, it ended up
+ being a 14,992,564 byte file, and took 60 minutes via ftp.
+
+ Then, get the latex2e stuff:
+
+ cd /tex-archive/macros/latex
+ get base.zip [771,461]
+ cd packages
+ get tools.zip [221,517]
+ quit
+
+c. Then on the pc:
+
+ mkdir \emtmp
+ cd \emtmp
+ pkunzip \emtex.zip [or unzip -j \emtex.zip]
+ cd \
+
+ You will need 15 + 15 = 30 MB disk space for this process. Read the
+ readme.tst and note the date in the upper right-hand corner. For my
+ installation it was 12-Dec-94. After success, you may delete \emtex.zip
+ and get 15 MB disk space back. Then goto step d.
+
+ If this does not work [because you don't have enough temporary disk space
+ for the one huge file, or if the ftp server can't compress into one huge
+ file], you have to get all the files individually. The ones we are most
+ interested in are listed in item 5 below with their locations in [].
+
+d. Do the following in order [if you use unzip, do not use the -d]:
+
+ pkunzip -d \emtmp\tex1.zip [disk1, 375854]
+ pkunzip -d \emtmp\tex2.zip [disk1, 268240]
+ pkunzip -d \emtmp\latex1.zip [disk2, 248823]
+ pkunzip -d \emtmp\latex2.zip [disk2, 238131]
+ pkunzip -d \emtmp\blatex.zip [disk2, 231677]
+ pkunzip -d \emtmp\makeindx.zip [disk2, 52717]
+ pkunzip -d \emtmp\bmf1.zip [disk3, 266527]
+ pkunzip -d \emtmp\bmf2.zip [disk5, 271791]
+ pkunzip -d \emtmp\texcad.zip [disk3, 120547]
+ pkunzip -d \emtmp\mf1.zip [disk4, 249916]
+ pkunzip -d \emtmp\mf2.zip [disk4, 344463]
+ pkunzip -d \emtmp\mf3.zip [disk4, 278545]
+ pkunzip -d \emtmp\mfware1.zip [disk4, 327215]
+ pkunzip -d \emtmp\mfware2.zip [disk5, 140361]
+ pkunzip -d \emtmp\btex1.zip [disk5, 265159]
+ pkunzip -d \emtmp\btex2.zip [disk5, 274600]
+ pkunzip -d \emtmp\misc_mf.zip [disk5, 36349]
+ pkunzip -d -o \emtmp\mfb5.zip [betatest, 1044415]
+ pkunzip -d -o \emtmp\mfjob11n.zip [betatest, ?]
+ pkunzip -d -o \emtmp\texb12.zip [betatest, 1120943]
+ pkunzip -d -o \emtmp\bibtexb1.zip [betatest, 167593]
+ pkunzip -d -o \emtmp\fontl12a.zip [betatest, 88321]
+ pkunzip -d -o \emtmp\dvid15g1.zip [betatest, 1213323]
+ pkunzip -d -o \emtmp\dvid15g2.zip [betatest, 727077]
+
+ Answer yes to any overwrites.
+
+ move \emtmp\readme.tst \emtex\doc
+ move \emtmp\readme.eng \emtex\doc\english
+
+ Extracting these files generates another 18 MB of files. If this is
+ successful, you may now delete everything in \emtmp, as well as \emtex.zip.
+
+ If you run out of space in the process, you may delete each .zip you
+ have extracted successfully. After extracting ALL the .zips, you may
+ delete \emtex.zip.
+
+e. Get rid of stuff (I save only the 386 stuff):
+ cd \emtex
+ del *.cmd [os/2 stuff]
+ del bmf*.* [big mf]
+ del blatex.bat [big latex]
+ del btex*.* [big tex]
+ del mf.exe [small mf]
+ del mf186.exe [small mf]
+ del mf286.exe [small mf]
+ del tex.exe [small tex]
+ del tex186.exe [small tex]
+ del tex286.exe [small tex]
+ del texp.exe [os/2 stuff]
+ del texfmts [small tex]
+ rmdir texfmts [small tex]
+ del mfbases [small tex]
+ rmdir mfbases [small tex]
+ del remove [intnl files]
+ rmdir remove [intnl files]
+ del mfp*.* [os/2 stuff]
+ del dvipm*.* [os/2 stuff]
+ del mfjob1.ovl [small mfjob]
+ del mfjob2.ovl [small mfjob]
+ del ask.exe
+ del bibtex.exe [small bibt]
+ del book
+ rmdir book
+
+ IF YOU REALLY ARE GOING TO USE A DOT MATRIX PRINTER, YOU MIGHT KEEP THESE:
+ del dvidot*.* [dot matrix]
+ del gh.*
+ del prtfx*.*
+ del prtitoh.*
+ del prtlq*.*
+ del prtp6*.*
+ del prtsty.bat
+ del pcx*.*
+ del prtaiw.bat
+ del makedot.exe
+
+ I DON'T HAVE LIMITED MEMORY, SO DELETE
+ del vs.bat [ltd memory vers]
+ del dviscrs.exe [ltd memory vers]
+
+ OLD FORMATS FOR FONTS, IF YOU ARE STARTING NEW, YOU DON'T WANT THEM:
+ del chtopx.exe
+ del gftopxl.exe
+ del gftype.exe
+ del pktopx.exe
+ del pxtoch.exe
+ del pxtopk.exe
+
+ I HAVE A COPROCESSOR SO DON'T NEED THE COPROCESSOR-LESS VERSIONS
+ del dviscr.exe
+ del dvihplj.exe
+
+ I DON'T HAVE A VIKING DISPLAY
+ del dvivik.exe
+
+ SAVE SOME MORE SPACE since I regenerate the bases & formats later
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ cd \emtex\bmfbases
+ del *.cmd
+ del *.log
+ del *.bas
+ edit bas.bat and change "bmf" to "\emtex\mf386" in all cases (2)
+
+ cd \emtex\btexfmts
+ del *.cmd
+ del *.log
+ del *.fmt
+ edit fmt.bat and change "btex" to "\emtex\tex386" in all cases (2)
+ edit slifmt.bat and change "btex" to "\emtex\tex386" in all cases (1)
+
+ I delete some dot-matrix printer configuration files. Actually, all I
+ keep in the \emtex\data\ subdirectory is:
+ dvidrv.err fax.cnf fontlist lj.cnf ljh.cnf newfonts.sub oldfonts.sub
+
+ I choose to get rid of a few of the doc files in German to save space:
+ del \emtex\doc\german
+ rmdir \emtex\doc\german
+ del \emtex\book\german
+ rmdir \emtex\book\german
+
+ and get rid of some more o/s-2 stuff:
+ del \emtex\help
+ rmdir \emtex\help
+
+f. FINALLY, ARCHIVE IT:
+ cd \
+ pkzip -rP em941212 \emtex\*.* [941212 = date in readme.tst]
+ copy em941212.zip [your archive place]
+ copy base.zip [your archive place]
+ copy tools.zip [your archive place]
+
+ These should fit on two 3" floppies. This is what I use to archive the
+ distribution. The em941212.zip will have to be split across the disks. I
+ picked 941212 as the version number since that is the date in the readme.tst
+ file. When the date changes, change the number.
+
+g. This will give you the following software and versions:
+
+ bibtex32.exe 0.99c [3c-beta1, have to dig thru exe to find vers]
+ dvidrv ?
+ dvihplj 1.5g
+ dviscr 1.5g
+ emx.exe 0.8h (rev 16) [have to dig thru exe to find vers]
+ fontlib 1.2a
+ gftodvi.exe 3.0 [1g]
+ gftopk.exe 3.2 [1j]
+ makeindx.exe 2.11
+ maketcp.exe 1.1c
+ mf386.exe 2.71 [3c-beta5]
+ mfjob.exe 1.1n
+ mft.exe 2.0 [1e]
+ pktogf.exe 1.0 [1c]
+ pktype.exe 2.3 [1c]
+ tex386.exe 3.1415 [3c-beta12]
+ texcad.exe 2.8
+
+
+2. RESTORING THE ARCHIVE
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+If you are continuing from above skip to the next section. If you are
+restoring em941212 from the archive you made earlier, do that now, and:
+
+pkunzip -d em941212.zip
+
+3. COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION OF LATEX2e
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Make sure that the following is in \config.sys: (the numbers can be larger)
+
+shell=command.com /e:1024 /p
+buffers=20
+files=20
+
+if tex complains that it can't open an output file, increase the files.
+
+Edit \autoexec.bat and append the following to the path statement:
+;\emtex
+
+also add the following lines
+
+set texinput=c:\emtex\texinput!
+set dvidrvfonts=c:\texfonts
+set dviscr=-s2
+set mfjobopt=-3
+
+You may insert the contents of \emtex\set-tex.bat into your autoexec.bat,
+although it is not necessary, since the default paths are hard coded into
+the .exe files. However, if you change any paths later, you will have to
+edit \emtex\set-tex.bat to reflect them, and execute \emtex\set-tex.bat
+each time you boot, or automatic subdirectory searching will not work.
+Make sure that the ! follows the `texinput' as in the first line above.
+Also, the last two are not in set-tex.bat, so you have to add them anyway.
+
+You should add the following line to your autoexec.bat, with appropriate
+number for the lpt port. This prevents prthplj & prthpljh from aborting when
+you take too long to refill the printer's paper:
+mode lpt1 retry=r
+
+create \emtex\tex.bat in path:
+tex386 &plain %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
+
+create \emtex\latex.bat in path:
+tex386 &latex %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
+
+create \emtex\slitex.bat in path:
+tex386 &splain %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
+
+or add them to a ced-like alias file. If you don't know what that is, don't
+ask. You will now type tex, latex, slitex followed by the filename to
+process a document. If the extension on the filename is .tex, it is optional.
+
+reboot now!
+
+EXTRACT LATEX2E
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+cd \
+pkunzip -d \base
+cd \base
+\emtex\tex386 /i unpack.ins
+
+replace any existing files in the following (to override them):
+move *.ltx \emtex\btexfmts
+move ltxcheck.tex \emtex\texinput
+move testpage.tex \emtex\texinput
+move docstrip.tex \emtex\texinput
+move *.cls \emtex\texinput
+move *.clo \emtex\texinput
+move *.sty \emtex\texinput
+move *.fd \emtex\texinput
+move *.def \emtex\texinput
+move *.cfg \emtex\texinput
+
+mkdir \emtex\makeindx
+move *.ist \emtex\makeindx
+
+mkdir \emtex\doc\base
+move *.tex \emtex\doc\base [save and read these docs]
+move *.txt \emtex\doc\base [save and read these docs]
+
+mkdir \emtex\texinput\local
+
+cd \
+del base.zip
+del base
+rmdir base
+
+BUILD THE CM BASES
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+cd \emtex\bmfbases
+bas
+
+BUILD THE TEX AND LATEX2e FORMATS
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+cd \emtex\btexfmts
+fmt
+slifmt
+del lplain.* [this is the old 2.09 format replaced later on]
+\emtex\tex386 /i latex.ltx [this is the new latex 2e format file]
+
+cd \
+latex ltxcheck [all should be ok]
+
+
+EXTRACT THE MAINZ TOOLS
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+cd \
+pkunzip -d \tools
+cd tools
+latex tools.ins
+del temp.tex
+mkdir \emtex\texinput\tools
+move *.sty \emtex\texinput\tools
+move *.tex \emtex\texinput\tools
+
+mkdir \emtex\doc\tools
+move *.dtx \emtex\doc\tools [these are all the docs for tools]
+
+cd \
+del tools.zip
+del tools
+rmdir tools
+
+TESTING THE LATEX INSTALLATION
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+mkdir \test
+cd \test
+
+Make a small file called cm.tex containing:
+
+\documentclass{article}
+\begin{document}
+Hello world...........$\sum$
+\end{document}
+
+and latex it by typing `latex cm'. It should not complain.
+
+
+4. VIEWING THE RESULTS
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+By latexing the above test document we have only used brief font info that
+is stored in the TFM files (in \emtex\tfm). You cannot print or view the
+results until you put fonts on your computer and/or printer. The only
+exception to this is postscript printers or viewers which have their fonts
+built in. More on that later.
+
+If you have a postscipt printer, you may use its internal fonts, or you may
+download fonts (e.g. CM [computer modern]), or do a combination of the two).
+You may also choose to use a postscript previewer for screen previewing (e.g.
+ghostscript). OR, you may choose to use the CM fonts that come with latex for
+screen previewing and use a dvi previewer (e.g. dviscr).
+
+If you have a reasonably recent HP pcl laser printer (any of the laser jets
+excluding the laser jet 1 [the laser jet 1+ is ok, although limited memory)
+or a laser printer that emulates an HP laser printer, you will want to use
+the CM fonts.
+
+The new HPLJ IV has its own scaleable fonts, so perhaps you will be able to
+use those internal fonts much like with postscript printers. You would need
+the TFM files describing the fonts inside the printer. I haven't done much
+work with the HP LJ IV so it is possible this has already been done. I don't
+discuss it here.
+
+Moving on in the choices, if you choose to use CM for either printing or
+display, then you need to obtain the actual fonts. You can either get
+them from the net, generate them all at once, or generate them on demand
+and the save them for future use. I do the latter. On a 486-33 MHz
+it only takes a minute or so to generate a font in a particular size.
+All these options are described next.
+
+Pick one, and skip to a), b), c), d), e), or f) below.
+
+a. CM fonts from the net, for screen viewing & 300 dpi hplj printing
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ mkdir \texfonts
+ cd \texfonts
+ ftp ftp.shsu.edu [or other site]
+ cd tex-archive/systems/msdos/emtex-fonts
+ bin
+ hash
+ get lj_fonts.zip [this will be about 5 MB]
+ quit
+
+ pkunzip lj_fonts *.fli [or unzip -j lj_fonts *.fli]
+
+ Archive lj_fonts.zip somewhere for future use.
+
+ To display the document on your screen, use v <filename>. v.bat is a batch
+ file in \emtex which calls dviscr. If you have a math coprocessor and
+ deleted dviscr.exe and kept dviscr7.exe, edit v.bat to call dviscr7.exe
+ instead of dviscr.exe. Example:
+
+ cd \test
+ v test
+
+ I add a /pt to \emtex\data\lj.cnf to prevent all the .dlg files.
+
+ You can also put the one line contents of v.bat into a ced-like program. If
+ you don't know what that is, skip it.
+
+ Read the documentation on dvi viewers in \emtex\doc\english\dvidrv.doc
+
+b. CM fonts from the net, for screen viewing & 600 dpi hplj IV printing
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ I haven't tried this, since I couldn't find the .fli files for the HPLJ 4 on
+ the net. They would be rather large (up to 4x larger than the 300dpi---twice
+ in each dimension, 2 dimensions). If you do find them, edit
+ \emtex\v.bat to use @ljh.cnf and follow along similarly to the previous
+ section for 300dpi fonts, but edit \emtex\ljh.cnf, instead.
+
+ Or, You may want to dynamically generate the fonts (below)...
+
+
+c. Dynamically generating the CM fonts on demand, 300 dpi for hplj & screen
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ This is how I do it. Append the following line to \emtex\data\lj.cnf
+ /fb
+
+ I also add a /pt to the file to prevent all the .dlg files.
+
+ You may wish to comment out the /pl line with a %, since you will not be
+ using the font libraries, as was done in 4a.
+
+ Make sure that `set mfjobopt=-3' is in your autoexec.bat, or that it is
+ set before trying to generate the fonts. This tells mfjob to use mf386.exe
+ instead of mf.exe.
+
+ cd \test
+ v test
+
+ should generate 2 fonts and then display the dvi file on your screen. The
+ next time you do `v test' the fonts will already be generated. v.bat is a
+ batch file in \emtex which calls dviscr. If you have a math coprocessor,
+ edit v.bat to call dviscr7.exe. You can also put the one line contents of
+ v.bat into a ced-like line. The fonts go to \texfonts\pixel.lj\300dpi.
+
+
+d. Dynamically generating the CM fonts on demand, 600 dpi for hplj IV & screen
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ Append the following lines to \emtex\data\ljh.cnf
+ /fb
+
+ & comment out the /pl line with a %. Also edit v.bat to use ljh.cfg instead
+ of lj.cnf. v.bat is a batch file in \emtex which calls dviscr. If you
+ have a math coprocessor, edit v.bat to call dviscr7.exe. I also add a /pt
+ to the config file to prevent all the .dlg files.
+
+ Make sure that `set mfjobopt=-3' is in your autoexec.bat, or that it is
+ set before trying to generate the fonts. This tells mfjob to use mf386.exe
+ instead of mf.exe.
+
+ cd \test
+ v test
+
+ should generate 2 fonts and display the dvi file on your screen. The fonts
+ go to \texfonts\pixel.ljh\600dpi. Next time, it won't have to generate
+ these fonts.
+
+e. Locally generating all 300dpi fonts for HP
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ cd \emtex\mfjob
+ mfjob all [wait several hours]
+ cd \
+ del \newfonts\tfm
+ rmdir \newfonts\tfm
+ del \newfonts\log
+ rmdir \newfonts\log
+ move newfonts texfonts
+
+f. Locally generating all 600dpi fonts for HP IV
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ cd \emtex\mfjob
+ edit modes.mfj and change `def m=[lj]' to `def m=[ljh]' at end
+ mfjob all [wait several hours]
+ cd \
+ del \newfonts\tfm
+ rmdir \newfonts\tfm
+ del \newfonts\log
+ rmdir \newfonts\log
+ move newfonts texfonts
+
+
+5. Printing using CM fonts and HPLJ or HPLJ IV
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+use prthplj.bat and prthpljh.bat respectively. You may want to edit
+them and change the output file /po=lpt1:, etc. If you have a math coproc,
+edit prthplj.bat and prthpljh.bat to call dvihplj7.exe. If you are using
+the HPLJ IV, add /og=600 to \emtex\prthpljh.bat on the same line.
+
+These routines use the same fonts and config files as the screen previewer,
+so once the fonts are generated by the screen viewer, they are generated for
+the printer too.
+
+IF you have an hp printer you are now done with the installation.
+
+6. PSNFSS & DVIPS for postscript printers (skip if you don't have a PS printer)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+a. Using CM fonts only, and not the internal PS fonts of your printer
+
+ if all you want to do is to use the CM fonts (and not the fonts in your
+ postscript printer), you may stop here. However this is kind of a waste
+ because the extra money you paid for the postscript printer gives you a
+ lot of advanced features and fonts. However, with those features comes
+ more installation difficulties, ie, the rest of this document. So no
+ one would blame you for stopping here.
+
+ If you want to stop here and generate CM fonts and download them to the
+ printer as a bit-map each time you print, do the following:
+
+ cd \
+ ftp wuarchive.wustl.edu
+ cd /mirrors/msdos/postscript
+ bin
+ hash
+ get dvips554.zip [592,893 bytes, or latest]
+ quit
+
+ pkzip -d \dvips554.zip *.tfm [delete the .tfm's from the zip]
+ pkzip -d \dvips554.zip *.vf [delete the .vf's from the zip]
+ pkunzip -d \dvips554.zip
+
+ cd \emtex\texinput\dvips
+ del times.sty
+ del palatino.sty
+ del bookman.sty
+ del chancery.sty
+ del avantgar.sty
+ del lucida.sty
+ del ncs.sty
+ del psfonts.sty
+ del psgreek.sty
+
+ The above represent old style files incompatible with latex2e and psnfss2e.
+
+ mkdir \emtex\doc\dvips
+ move dvi*.tex \emtex\doc\dvips
+
+ The fonts for the Apple Laserwriters are the same as for the HP LJ, since
+ the engines are the same [write black]. Choosing dvihplj or dvips formats
+ the bit maps properly in each printer's language. This is where the
+ difference is. Thus CM fonts obtained in 4a, 4b, 4e, or 4f are suitable
+ for dvips. Follow those instructions if you haven't already for the
+ screen fonts. If you have already obtained or generated or set up
+ dynamic (on the fly generation of fonts) for the screen you are already
+ to go:
+
+ cd \test
+ dvips cm
+ copy cm.ps lpt1: [or where ever your printer is]
+
+ You may need an iteration of `mfjob dvips' to generate fonts. You may
+ stop here. Delete dvips.mfj after doing mfjob.
+
+
+b. Using the internal PS fonts of your printer, and CM for occasional math
+
+ IF you wish to take advantage of the native fonts in
+ your postscript printer, continue on.
+
+ Do the steps in a) above.
+
+ To use use native fonts, you will
+ insert one command \usepackage{font} in your latex document after the
+ \documentclass{} command. font=one of times, palatino, helvet, avant,
+ newcent, or bookman. To get these psnfss2e packages:
+
+ cd \
+ ftp ftp.shsu.edu [or other site]
+ cd tex-archive/macros/latex/packages
+ bin
+ hash
+ get psnfss.zip [724,648]
+ quit
+
+ pkunzip -d \psnfss.zip
+ cd \psnfss
+ latex psfonts.ins [installation]
+ mkdir \emtex\texinput\ps
+ move *.sty \emtex\texinput\ps
+ mkdir \emtex\doc\ps
+ move psnfss2e.tex \emtex\doc\ps
+ move psfonts.dtx \emtex\dec\ps
+ cd \
+ del \psnfss
+ rmdir \psnfss
+
+ get the latex2e tfm, vf, fd and other associated files for adobe ps fonts:
+
+ ftp ftp.shsu.edu [or other site]
+ cd tex-archive/fonts/metrics
+ bin
+ hash
+ get adobe.zip [1,895,291 bytes]
+ quit
+
+ cd \
+ pkunzip -d \adobe.zip
+
+ edit \emtex\ps\config.ps and uncomment (delete the *) & change the line:
+ T c:\emtex\tfm;c:\emtex\tfm\ps;c:\emtex\tfm\local
+
+ there are 6 packages (times, palatino, helvet, avant, newcent, bookman) which
+ you use to select the primary postscript fonts for your document. These in
+ turn call upon the following 7 native postscipt fonts in the printer:
+ Helvetica, AvantGarde, Times, Palatino, NewCenturySchoolbook, Bookman, and
+ Courier. Your printer and screen previewer should have these to work properly
+ with the 6 packages (they are part of the standard 35 fonts). This info came
+ from Table 1 of psnfess2e.tex (page 4). The file adobe.zip that you just
+ obtained contains fd, tfm, and vf data for these and many other postscript
+ fonts. I will only cover the 7 fonts used by the 6 packages.

+ del psfonts.map
+ ren *.map *.x
+ copy phv.x + pag.x + ptm.x + ppl.x + pnc.x + pbk.x + pcr.x psfonts.map
+ del *.x
+
+ cd \test and create a file called ps.tex
+ \documentclass{article}
+ \usepackage{times}
+ \begin{document}
+ Hello world...........$\sum$
+ \end{document}
+
+ dvips ps
+
+ this should work. The math needs to use the old CM fonts, a small subset
+ of which may need to be generated on the fly or downloaded. dvips should
+ have created an instruction file for mfjob to create the missing math
+ fonts. If all is well, run
+
+ mfjob dvips
+ dvips ps
+ copy ps.ps to lpt1: [or whatever is your printer port]
+
+ and you should have the complete document. I create everything on demand,
+ when dvips complains, using mfjob dvips as above.
+
+ cd \
+ del adobe
+ rmdir adobe
+
+ Note, as I mentioned before, you can't view postscript on your screen.
+ The missing fonts appear as boxes on the screen, but print fine on a
+ postscript printer.
+
+ You can look at the document on the screen using ghostscript or another
+ postscript previewer, which allows you to look at any included post-
+ script figures too, but involves a few more hours of install time (if you've
+ gotten this far then you can handle anything!).
+
+ Check out gs386.exe on wuarchive.wustl.edu.
+
+
+7. CUSTOM FONTS
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+to use a custom font, say APL, get the .mf file off the net, and
+put it in a \emtex\mfinput\local subdirectory. As an example, use cmapl10.mf
+from the CTAN archive in /tex-archive/fonts/apl:
+
+cd \emtex\mfinput\local
+mf386 \mode=hplaser; \nonstopmode; mag=1.0; input cmapl10
+
+move cmapl10.tfm \emtex\tfm\local
+
+to look at it, for example, do:
+
+tex testfont
+and reply:
+cmapl10
+\table
+\end
+
+then
+v testfont
+
+and let it generate the fonts and look at them! To use them in a document,
+read the texbook.
+
+you can print out the result on an hp printer:
+dvihplj testfont
+
+you can print out the result on an hp IV printer:
+dvihpljh testfont
+
+you can print out the result on a postscipt printer:
+dvips testfont

+
+Choice of font
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+CM = Computer Modern fonts, freely available, and included with emtex
+ (either generated locally with metafont, or downloaded off the net,
+ see source of CM font below)
+HP = scaleable fonts inside the HP laserjet IV printer
+PS = scaleable postscript fonts inside a postscript printer, however, when
+ you are using math, it will revert to CM for the math fonts. See source
+ of CM fonts below.
+
+Source of CM fonts (for CM or CM for postscript math)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+OTF = On the fly font generation (initially slower, small space rqmt)

+
+
+
+What to use
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+prthplj = from emtex
+prthpljh = from emtex
+dvips1 = with OTF CM generation from MakeTeXPK, or PK libraries
+dvips2 = mostly internal postscript fonts, but some of OTF CM generation
+ for fonts missing from postscript.
+? = no solution that I am aware of, but I didn't look very hard
