The LAMS-TeX documentation will +reflect this. + +All essential files have been kept, and are organized as +follows: + + --all LAMS-TeX input files (macros and documents) + are in ./inputs + + --all METAFONT sources for producing commutative + diagrams are in ./mf + + --*.tfm font files generated from these sources + are in ./tfm + + --the index program (turns LAMS-TeX index files + into sorted, extended files) has been ported + to Unix by Pierre MacKay. Gcc with or without + optimization will compile it. + + If you can get it to work with cc, + let us know, and we will add your + fixes to the distribution. + + E-mail: mackay@cs.washington.edu + elisabet@max.u.washington.edu + Phone: (206) 543-6259 + + --the dvipaste program has been placed in + DVIware/dvitools/dvipaste because of its + general usefulness. LAMS-TeX users will + need it when producing tables. (DVIware + is parallel to the directory TeX3.14.) + + +To generate the LAMS-TeX Installation Manual--also known as +"Read Me First!": + +1) Copy the contents of ./inputs to your TEXINPUTS directory + (or to any directory where TeX can find them), or use + symbolic links. + +2) Copy the contents of ./mf to your MFINPUTS directory + (or use symbolic links). + +3) If you followed the installation instructions in + ./TeX3.14/README, you have made and installed METAFONT. + + Use it to generate the *.pk font files for your previewer/printer + driver programs. + + The METAFONT man page is your guide to generating + fonts. We strongly recommend that TeX users + become familiar with at least this METAFONT document. + + Sample command line for generating lams1.300gf for a 300dpi + write-white device: + + % mf '\mode=RicohFourZeroEightZero; \mag=magstep0;' input lams1 + + The lams?.tfm files should be placed in your TEXFONTS + directory. The gf font files can be converted into pk format + via the mfware utility gftopk. Rastered fonts should be + placed wherever your driver program expects to find them. + +4) Go to DVIware/dvitools/dvipaste; make, test, and install the + dvipaste program. + +5) Run the following commands in sequence: + + % tex insttbls + % tex inst + + [ ignore warning messages ] + + % emacs inst.tex + + [ edit this file + to remove the % sign + in front of the line + \maketoc ] + + % tex inst + + [ no warning messages should appear ] + + % tex inst + + [ yes, a third time ] + + % dvipaste inst + +Preview or print the resulting inst.dvi file to learn about the +details for the steps above. It is important that you do so. + +6) TeX the samp.tex file to see another sample of LAMS-TeX at work, + as well as for details about obtaining the primary manual and + other documentation for these macros. + + +==================================================================== + +LAMS-TeX (including the programs dvipaste and index) has been +released as public domain software for inclusion in public archives +by Michael Spivak of TeXplorators. + +Send serious questions and bug reports to: spivak@math15.rice.edu. +This is NOT, repeat NOT, an FTP site for LAMS-TeX. + +The UnixTeX repackaging of LAMS-TeX (including the programs +dvipaste and index) is available on june.cs.washington.edu, +in the directory ~ftp/tex. + + +================================EOF================================= |
