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. + + +------------------------------------------------------------------------ +Amarjit Singh +E-mail Address: asingh@evovling.com +Postal Address: 8405 E.
