-INRSTeX is a complete document preparation package, including graphics for
-document preparation. It was designed from the beginning for use in a
-bilingual (French/English) environement.
-The system, excluding its graphics component, is usable
-with any TeX system but is most useful, when using ordinary "cm"
-fonts with an MLTeX system. TeXGraph will work with any reasonable
-PostScript driver ans has been specialized here to work with a modified
-modified version of Nelson~Beebe's DVIALW on the IBM~PC and
-uses Tom~Rokiki's DVIPS on the UNIX workstations. The PC Version of the
-package includes an MSDOS version of the modified DVIALW.
-
-The INRSTeX macro package kernel is built on top of PLAIN. All the
-facilties of plain are left intact and available. Additional facilities are
-included for
-
-* section and chapter heads,
-* lists,
-* easy tables,
-* floating figure and table insertions,
-* footnotes,
-* automatic generation of table of contents, list of figures, and
- list of tables,
-* automatic numbering of equations, section heads, etc.,
-* symbolic referencing of equations, sections, etc.,
-* optional margin notes to aid in keeping track of symbolic
- references,
-* automatic generation of citation lists (IEEE style only)
-* a subdocument feature for building large documents in pieces.
-* a verbatim style using {\tt typewriter} fonts for such things as
- program listings,
-* a several document styles including a paperstyle and bookstyle.
-* TeXgraph, a graphics system for drawing figures and inserting
- external figures. This uses the graphics primitives of PostScript.
- It is inside rather than outside the TeX system.
-* slide making including graphics for letterhead,

-INRSTeX is a multilingual document preparation system. It comes in many
-flavors, unfortunately, and is easily customized. The main documentation is
-the "INRSTeX Reference Manual". The graphics part of INRSTeX requires a
-driver that will interpret inline PostScript correctly and process the
-information in the *.dvi file in the order that it occurs. An INRS modified
-version of Nelson Beebe's DVIALW driver does this and is included with the
-TeXGraph files. The only documentation of TeXGraph at the moment is in the
-detailed comments in the texgraph.sty file. This requires that your print
-driver be able to interpret a few commands. Plot files are assumed to be
-Encapsulated PostScript with a correct bounding box. TeXGraph reads this
-box and leaves the appropriate space. It is also possible to rotate and/or
-scale a graph.
-
-
-INRSTeX as supplied gives messages in English and French. These messages
-should be changed for other languages. Most of the messages are found in
-inrsdef.tex
-
-
-Customizing INRSTeX
-
-Different flavors of INRSTeX are needed for different operating systems and
-versions of TeX. Changes are made by editing the file inrs.tex or one of the
-specialized files. These files are very heavily documented ... to make
-changes easier. The master file inrs.tex brings in the specialized files for
-various services. In some cases, this file must be editied to bring in the
-correct version of the file for a particular installation. A good example is
-given below for fonts.
-
-Customizing changes may be necessary in the following areas:
-
-1. Fonts
-
-TeX 3.0 uses Computer Modern (cm...) fonts. This version of INRSTeX does not
-require the new 256 character extended fonts. Modifications to include
-these fonts should be quite easy when they become available. The current
-INRSTeX book was made with (am...) fonts and includes many fonts that are
-not available on the current distribution. INRSTeX, in addition to defining
-point families, adds fonts necessary to complete font families at various
-point sizes. It may be necessary to add/delete fonts and font families for
-your specific installation.
-
-In addition there is a file spfont.tex that defines an arbitrarily scaled
-family of \tenpoint. It is used only in the slide package and is the
-(cm...) version only. Some TeX distribution tapes do not have diminished
-pixel versions of the fonts.
-
-2. File Naming:
-
-INRSTeX writes out a number of auxiliary files. They have the same name as
-the input file but with different extensions. These are used to create
-tables of contents, figures, tables, .... The design is such that the page
-numbers for the "table of contents", for example may be in the table of
-contents. If INRSTeX has already opened the "job.toc" file and then tries
-to bring in the "job.toc" file to write the table of contents, it will
-bring in the previous version. For systems without versions, such as MSDOS
-or Unix, this is done by inputting files with the name "@job.toc" or
-"job.toc~" respectively. This means that INRSTeX must be invoked using an
-INRSTEX.BAT file for MSDOS or a shell script like INRSTEX.SH for Unix.
-
-To build an INRSTeX format file for MSDOS, it is necessary to
-
-\input writdos
-
-This is included in the INRS3_PC.TEX master file.
-
-For Unix, the \input writdos should be replaced by
-
-\input writunix
-
-For systems with version numbers, and the concept of version "-1" such as
-VAX/VMS, neither of these are required.
-
-The auxiliary files normally written have the extensions:
-
-.toc -- table of contents
-.tbl -- list of tables
-.fig -- list of figures
-.ctg -- list of citations
-.tag -- list of internal references such as equations or sections
-
-In addition, for the INRSTeX reference manual a chapter status file and
-an index file
-
-masth.sta
-masth.ind
-
-are written.
-
-
-3. inrsdef.tex
-
-All of the default spacings, fonts, etc. for INRSTeX are given in this file.
-For information this file also includes any defaults set in PLAIN. Those
-defaults may be changed in this file. In fact, it was intended that all of
-the defaults would be found in this file.
-
-4. Graphics and INRSTeX
-
-This version of INRSTeX includes TeXGraph, a system for creating graphics
-and including EPSF (Encapsulated PostScript Format) files in a TeX
-document. In order to make the package self contained, we have included a
-modified version of Nelson Beebe's DVIALW (for MSDOS only).
-This, along with a PostScript printer will allow you to produce "complete"
-documents.
-
-
-5. Installation:
-
-To create a format file for INRSTeX, with French and English hyphenation
-patterns, you should INITEX the inrs3_pc file. inrs3_pc brings in a version
-of plain.tex, called plain_nh.tex that does not call the hyphenation
-tables. The hyphenation tables are called later in masthyph.tex.
-
-The inrs3_pc.tex file has a switch that checks to see if \charsubdef is
-defined in the INITEX to distinguish between MLTeX 3.+ and TeX 3.+. It then
-brings in the appropriate files to access and define extended characters.
-
-If necessary, you might have to increase some of TeX's internal parameters
-such as font memory. For TeX 2.+, it was necessary to have \f 25000 when
-invoking PCTeX.
-
-6. Documentation
-
-The INRSTeX reference manual is included on these floppies. It is over 200
-pages longs so that printing it all at once might either break your printer
-and/or cause you to be accused of antisocial behaviour.
-
-The complete sources and a complete set of .DVI files are included in the
-\inrsdoc directory in .ZIP compressed form. Both PKZIP and PKUNZIP are
-included. They have been supplied as approximately one chapter per file. To
-obtain the .DVI files just type
-
-pkunzip doc_dvi
-
-The uncompressed .dvi files are approximately 1 megabyte. This set also
-includes IEEELOGO.PS which is needed to create the corresponding .PS files.
-To create the corresponding PostScript files just execute MASTPS.BAT
-
-mastps
-
-The PostScript files take up about 3.5 meg while the uncompressed .DVI
-files take up about 1 meg.
-
-In addition, the complete sources for the Reference Book are included.
-These are uncompressed by
-
-pkunzip doc_tex
-
-To create a new set of .dvi files, if you should follow this path.
-
-a) Tex the master file masth.tex to create a complete set of index,
-status, and table of contents files by
-
-tex masth
-
-b) Massage and sort the index file MASTH.IND to create a MASTH.SOR by
-running the program
-
-indsort
-
-The C sources for this program are included.
-
-c) Create .dvi files for each chapter by running the MASTH.BAT file.
-
-masth
-
-d) Create the PostScript files by running the MASTPS.BAT file.
-
-mastps
-
-e) To print the all of the resulting files use the MASTPR.BAT file.
-
-mastpr
-
-This, after feeding paper to your printer will give you the complete book.
-
-Yours
-Michael J. Ferguson
