+The purpose of this file is to help in installation of "Gurmukhi for TeX"
+software package on a Unix. In addition to this file Readme and manual.gm,
+are also provided which provide information about how and why to use this
+package
+
+Lets assume that you have installed TeX and TeX can call METAFONT for
+font creation. I have Tex Version 3.1415N (C version 6.1), and METAFONT
+Version 2.71 (C version 6.1). I got all these tools with Linux version
+1.2.1.
+
+Lets also assume that you are installing this software under a directory
+"/usr/abc/gurmukhi". Under this directory make top-level TeX directory
+lib/tex. In this top-level TeX directory /usr/abc/gurmukhi/lib/tex, make
+sub-directories "macros", "mf", "pk", and "tfm", and move all *.mf files
+in mf directory, *.tfm files in tfm directory, *.pk files in pk directory,
+and gmmacs.tex file in macros directory.
+
+Compile the preprocessor, gurmukhi.c and put the executable somewhere on
+your path. With following command, you will get preprocessor with name
+"gurmukhi",
+cc -o gurmukhi gurmukhi.c
+
+To set the environment variables in a c-shell environment, you can create
+a file with following information and "source" it every time you want to
+use this package.
+
+set texbase = /usr/abc/gurmukhi/lib/tex
+setenv TEXINPUTS .:$texbase/macros:
+setenv TEXFONTS :$texbase/tfm
+setenv TEXPKS :$texbase/pk
+setenv MFINPUTS :$texbase/mf
+unset texbase
+
+Note that leading and trailing colon tells TeX to append the system path
+at that point. If you have an older version of TeX (before version 3),
+you may need to explicitly specify them in the environment variables. If
+you use xtex, you will need to explicitly list your system directories in
+the TEXFONTS variable, since it doesn't understand the leading/trailing
+colon convention.
+
+
+After this setup you are ready to use this package. You can use example
+file bani.gm and eg.gm to see if everything is alright. A typical set of
+commands can be given as follows. This information is in greater detail
+in manual.ps
+
+gurmukhi bani
+tex bani
+dvips bani.dvi
+
+You can view the generated files using any one of following
+
+xdvi bani
+gs bani
+ghostview bani
+
+and can send .ps file generated by dvips to your laser printer.
+
+There are programs equivalent to dvips for some non-laser printers
+and are available at tex-archive sites.
