+ ALaTeX Installation Guide
+
+
+ 21 January 1996
+ Matt Swift <swift@bu.edu>
+
+SUMMARY
+=======
+
+This file contains the installation instructions for the ALaTeX
+document preparation system.
+
+In order to install ALaTeX, you must have a working installation of
+LaTeX2e. More information on LaTeX may be found at
+http://www.cogs.susx.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html.
+
+In summary, to install ALaTeX, you will:
+
+ * Generate the ALaTeX format and standard metaclass.
+
+ * Put the ALaTeX files where ALaTeX can read them.
+
+ * Check the installation.
+
+When one of these steps depends on your TeX distribution, you may find
+help on how to do it in a <system>.txt file in the LaTeX distribution.
+
+
+GENERATING THE ALATEX FORMAT
+============================
+
+To create the ALaTeX format,
+
+ * Run TeX on the file `aunpack.ins'. This will create two new files
+ called `alatex.ltx' and `metaclas.cfg'.
+
+ * Invoke iniTeX with a first line of `&latex alatex.ltx'. This will
+ create a format file called `alatex.fmt'. Alternatively, you can
+ do this by typing `&latex' to iniTeX's `**' prompt, then typing
+ `\input alatex.ltx', and renaming the file `texput.fmt' to
+ `alatex.fmt'.
+
+ * Copy or move the format file `alatex.fmt' to the TeX formats
+ directory, and copy or move the standard metaclass `metaclas.cfg'
+ into a standard TeX input path.
+
+ * If you use the Unix web2c distribution of TeX, you may wish to
+ create a link from `alatex' to `virtex', and define
+ TEXINPUTS.alatex to have the same or similar value as
+ TEXINPUTS.latex2e in the file texmf.cnf. On other platforms, you
+ must do something else to use the ALaTeX format.
+
+
+CHECKING THAT THE INSTALLATION WORKED
+=====================================
+
+To make sure that the installation has worked, you may run
+ALaTeX on the document `ltxcheck.tex' which came in the base directory
+of your LaTeX2e distribution.
+
+Notice that the dialog will refer to LaTeX2e, but the banner ought to
+announce that you have invoked ALaTeX.
+
+This will produce a number of messages, each of which should be `OK'.
+If any of them are `BAD', I suggest trying seeing whether the same
+error occurs when you run LaTeX on `ltxcheck.tex'. If so, see the
+PROBLEMS section of the install.txt file in the LaTeX distribution.
+If not, then please see the file abugs.txt in the ALaTeX distribution
+and submit a bug report.
+
+If all the messages are `OK' then you are finished!
+
+
+GENERATING THE DOCUMENTATION
+============================
+
+Process `alatex.tex' with LaTeX and (optionally) Makeindex to produce
+documentation of ALaTeX and its standard metaclass. If you generate
+the index, use the index style gind.ist that came in the base
+directory of your LaTeX2e distribution (though it might have been
+moved elsewhere during installation).
+
+
+UNIX
+====
+
+On a Unix system, it will be easiest to use the Makefile I have
+written. Look over the variables at the top of the Makefile and
+adjust them as necessary. Invoke "make" with no arguments to see a
+list of targets.
