+What is it?
+***********
+
+MiKTeX 1.08 is an implementation of TeX, METAFONT, dvips and other TeX
+related utilities for Windows NT and Windows 95. The MiKTeX
+distribution contains the following packages:
+
+ * TeX 3.14159
+ * LaTeX2e Jun'97 including standard packages
+ * METAFONT 2.718
+ * MetaPost 0.632
+ * dvips 5.74
+ * MakeIndex 2.12
+ * Texinfo 3.11
+ * BibTeX 0.99c
+ * YAP (Yet Another Previewer) 0.91
+ * TeXware (dvitype, ...)
+ * METFONTware (gftopk, ...)
+ * psutils (psselect, pstops, ...)
+ * DVIcopy
+
+You must have some basic knowledge of (La)TeX in order to make use of
+MiKTeX. If you are an absolute beginner, then you should start with
+one of the FAQs:
+
+ English: http://www.cogs.susx.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?introduction=yes
+ German: http://www.dante.de/dante/dante-faq.html
+
+
+MiKTeX features
+---------------
+
+ * Native Win32 implementation
+ * Supports multiple TeXMF directory trees
+ * Uses a file name data base for fast file access
+ * TDS compliant
+ * Supports long file names
+ * On-the-fly generation of TFM files
+ * On-the-fly generation of PK files
+ * Free software (GPLed). Source code available.
+
+
+What is it not?
+***************
+
+Most of the programs that come with MiKTeX are command line oriented,
+i.e., you will miss a graphical user interface.
+
+MiKTeX does not run under Windows 3.1.
+
+
+What should you download?
+*************************
+
+MiKTeX 1.08 is distributed in the form of 21 packed archives (zip format):
+
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Filename | | Description
+ ---------------+---+-------------------------------------------------------
+ amsf108.zip | | AMS-Fonts
+ amsl108.zip | | AMS-LaTeX
+ babl108.zip | | Babel system
+ bib108.zip | | Generic BibTeX input files
+ cm108.zip | | Computer Modern fonts
+ dvips108.zip | | Generic dvips input files
+ ec108.zip | | EC fonts
+ exe108ia.zip | ! | intel-based executables, part 1/2
+ exe108ib.zip | ! | intel-based executables, part 2/2
+ latex108.zip | | LaTeX2e base distribution
+ mf108.zip | | Generic METAFONT input files and plain base file
+ mik108.zip | ! | Essential MiKTeX files
+ misc108.zip | | MiKTeX input files
+ mkind108.zip | | Generic MakeIndex input files
+ mp108.zip | | Generic MetaPost input files
+ ps108.zip | | PostScript fonts for LaTeX2e
+ src108.zip | | MiKTeX source files
+ sty108.zip | | Various LaTeX packages
+ tex108.zip | | Generic TeX input files
+ txi108.zip | | Texinfo input files and documentation
+ vga108.zip | | PK font files for the screen
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+You use an installation utility (install.exe) to unpack the archives
+and to configure MiKTeX for your system. The installation utility
+depends on the presence of unzip.exe:
+
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Filename | | Description
+ ---------------+---+-------------------------------------------------------
+ install.exe | ! | MiKTeX installation utility
+ unzip.exe | ! | Unzip utility (by Info-ZIP)
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Files marked with '!' are absolutely necessary. The others are
+optional. If you already have a comprehensive TeX directory tree
+(such as a TeX Live 2 CD), then it should be enough to download the
+essential files.
+
+You don't need to download SRC108.ZIP unless you want to re-compile
+MiKTeX (you then need M$ Visual C++ 5.0 Pro).
+
+
+Installation
+************
+
+ 1. Make sure that you have the necessary files (see previous section).
+
+ 2. Choose a name for the root TEXMF directory, say C:\TEXMF. Please note,
+ that due to a bug in Unzip 5.31, you cannot choose a UNC path here.
+ Work-around: Use a non-UNC path for installation. Later you can redefine
+ the root directory with the help of the Configuration Utility.
+
+ 3. Decide whether you want to use pre-existing TEXMF trees (such as
+ a shared teTeX directory hierarchy).
+
+ 4. Don't install MiKTeX 1.08 over an older MiKTeX version. If you have
+ an old version, then you should remove it (after you have saved
+ you local additions).
+
+ 5. Invoke INSTALL.EXE.
+
+ 5.1 When prompted for the destination directory, enter the name chosen
+ in step 2.
+
+ 5.2 When prompted for the root directories of other TEXMF trees, enter a
+ semicolon-separated list of existing TEXMF root directories. Enter
+ nothing, if you just want to use the TEXMF tree that comes with MiKTeX.
+
+ For example, if your workstation is connected to a shared teTeX
+ directory, then you can enter its UNC name (e.g. \\SERVER\TETEX).
+
+ If you have a TeX Live 2 CD, then you can enter X:\SHARE\TEXMF
+ (replace X with the CD-ROM drive letter).
+
+ 6. Add the MiKTeX bin directory to the environment variable PATH.
+ Under Windows 95 you have to append something like
+
+ set PATH=c:\texmf\miktex\bin;%PATH%
+
+ to your AUTOEXEC.BAT. Under Windows NT you can use Control
+ Panel to change the value of PATH.
+
+ 7. Restart Windows.
+
+
+Example Installation
+--------------------
+
+Here comes the transcript of a standard installation procedure.
+C:\TEXMF is the destination directory. No additional TEXMF trees will
+be incorporated.
+
+ +------------------------------------------------------------------+
+ | C:\temp> install |
+ | Welcome to MiKTeX 1.08 Installation Utility. This program will |
+ | install MiKTeX 1.08 on your system. |
+ | |
+ | MiKTeX 1.08 will be installed in `c:\texmf'. |
+ | |
+ | To install to this directory, press <RETURN>. |
+ | |
+ | To install to a different directory, enter the name of another |
+ | directory. |
+ | |
+ | You can choose not to install MiKTeX 1.08. Enter `cancel' to |
+ | cancel the installation. |
+ | |
+ | Destination Directory: c:\texmf |
+ | |
+ | You can cause MiKTeX to incorporate additional TEXMF trees. |
+ | To do so, enter a semicolon-separated list of directory names. |
+ | Press <RETURN>, to use nothing but the TEXMF tree that comes |
+ | with MiKTeX. |
+ | |
+ | Incorporate other TEXMF trees: |

+ +------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+
+Configuring dvips
+*****************
+
+Dvips is configured as follows:
+
+ a) When generating fonts, Dvips uses METAFONT mode ljfour (HP Laserjet 4).
+
+ b) Horizontal resolution is 600 dpi.
+
+ c) Paper size is A4.
+
+If these settings are not suitable for your printer, then you have to
+edit the Dvips configuration file CONFIG.PS. You will find this file
+in the directory C:\TEXMF\DVIPS\CONFIG\LOCAL. See the Local Guide,
+for more information.
+
+
+Where are the docs?
+*******************
+
+The Local Guide is available in HTML/WinHelp format:
+
+ c:\texmf\doc\miktex\miktex.html
+ c:\texmf\doc\miktex\miktex.hlp

+Readme-File for MikTeX 1.08 for WindowsNT on the PowerPC-platform.
+
+[Author]
+Andreas Berz <e-mail: tb10ber@dehomag.e-mail.com>
+No, I am not the autor of this TeX package. The author is Christian Schenk
+<e-mail: cschenk@berlin.snafu.de>. I just adopted it to the PowerPC platform.
+
+[Content]
+This is a complete distribution of MikTeX 1.08 for the PowerPC-platform.
+
+The following zip-archives are platform independant (means: no matter wether
+WindowsNT on Intel or PowerPC), but not necessarily independant on the Version
+of MikTeX. They are similar or identical to the original MikTeX-version 1.08 from
+Christian Schenk (author of MikTeX).
+
+ amsf108.zip
+ amsl108.zip
+ babl108.zip
+ bib108.zip

+ ps108.zip
+ sty108.zip
+ tex108.zip
+ txi108.zip
+ vga108.zip
+
+The following files are platform dependant because they contain the binaries
+for the PowerPC-platform and modified sources.
+
+ exe108pa.zip PowerPC-based Dll's
+ exe108pb.zip PowerPC-based TeX-binaries
+ src108.zip Sources modified for PowerPC-Visual C/C++ 4.0
+ install.exe Installation-Utility
+ unzip.exe Unzip-Utlity used by Installation-Utlity
+
+[Processor type]
+All binaries are compiled for the 604-PowerPC processor.
+
+[More Info]
+For more information (about the installation process, etc.) please read the files
+miktex.html, miktex.hlp in the doc\miktex-Directory (in doc.zip) and 'News'.
+
+[Build executables]
+To build the executables you need the following PowerPC speceific tools:
+-Microsoft Visual 4.0 C/C++ NT RISC-Version for PowerPC
+-GNU sed
+-zip, unzip
+-Perl interpreter
+-GNU groff
+
+The sed is available at:
+ftp://ftp.winsite.com/pub//pc/winnt/miscutils/psed109.zip
+or
+http://www.winsite.com/winnt/miscutil/page3.html
+
+The zip, unzip utlities are available at:
+ftp://ftp.winsite.com/pub//pc/winnt/misc/zip21ppc.zip
+or
+http://www.winsite.com/winnt/misc/page12.html
+
+The Perl interpreter ist available at:
+http://www.activeware.com
+
+The Directory <TeX root dir>/source/miktex-1.08/ppctool contains a groff package for
+WindowsNT with PowerPC binaries. The author of the package is Dr. David Coe
+<e-mail: david@coent.demon.co.uk> and it is available at the virtual UNIX page at:
+http://www.itribe.net/virtunix/contributors.html. The PowerPC binaries are not
+available in the internet, so I include the groff package into the source tree.
+To recompile the source tree you need to add the the path to the bin directory of the
+groff package to the PATH variable. You also need to set the environment variables
+GROFF_TMAC_PATH and GROFF_FONT_PATH as descriped in the file Readme.nt in the ppctool
+directory.

+MiKTeX 1.08 Changes (August 1997)
+=================================
+
+New Features
+------------
+
+ * MiKTeX supports multiple TEXMF directory trees. This feature allows you
+ to make use of an existing comprehensive TEXMF tree (such as a shared
+ teTeX installation).
+
+ * Support of UNC file names. It should now be possible to do without
+ a drive letter when you setup a shared MiKTeX installation.
+
+ * Certain internal TeX parameters have been increased.
+
+ * MakeTeX{PK,TFM} now determines the standard destination directory. (In the
+ past, all generated fonts ended up in a temporary directory tree.) Please
+ note that the new method is not compatible with DviWin, which cannot search
+ recursively for PK files. You can restore the old method by changing back
+ the value "PK Temp Dir".
+
+ * MakeIndex searches recursively for style files.
+
+ * It is possible to define per-user configuration settings (via
+ `configure --personal CFGFILE'). See the local guide, for more information.
+
+New Applications
+---------
+
+ * Modified version of GNU Makeinfo which converts Texinfo docs
+ into RTF. You can use this utility to make WinHelp files from Texinfo docs.
+
+ * 8-bit enhanced version of BibTeX with extra large processing capacity.
+ Executable is named BIBTEX8.EXE. Documentation is in DOC\BIBTEX8.
+
+ * MakeTeXFMT makes a new format file and moves it into the format folder.
+
+Upated
+------
+
+ * dvips 5.74
+
+ * MetaPost 0.632
+
+ * LaTeX Jun'97
+
+Resolved Problems
+-----------------
+
+ * TeX capacity exceeded.
+
+ * On-the-fly generation of fonts fails, if the font sources are
+ placed in the current directory.
+
+MiKTeX 1.07 Changes (February 1997)
+===================================
+
+Resolved Problems
+-----------------
+
+ * dvips: cannot download .pfb files
+
+ * dvips: complains that "The filename, directory name, or volume
+ label syntax is incorrect." before doing its job.
+
+ * dvicopy: sometimes causes a general protection fault
+
+ * MakeTeXPK/METAFONT/ec-fonts: .600gf files are created even
+ if a non-300dpi mode was specified
+
+Anti-Features
+-------------
+
+ * Removed DC-fonts from the distribution
+
+MiKTeX 1.06 Changes (January 1997)
+==================================
+
+New Features
+------------
+
+ * MetaPost
+
+ * Standard LaTeX packages: AMS-LaTeX, psnfss, ...
+
+ * psutils: psbook, psselect, pstops, epsffit, psnup, psresize
+
+ * AMS-Fonts
+
+ * DVIcopy
+
+ * EC-Fonts 1.0
+
+ * DVIPS: supports emtex specials
+
+Anti-Features
+-------------
+
+ * MiKTeX 1.06 comes without printer PK files
+
+Improvements
+------------
+
+ * TeX runs much faster
+
+ * MiKTeX uses a file name data base for fast file access
+
+Updated
+-------
+
+ * LaTeX Dec'96
+
+ * dvips 5.66
+
+ * DC-Fonts 1.3
+
+Resolved Problems
+-----------------
+
+ * BibTeX: causes a GPF if the main LaTeX file \include's someting.
+
+ * BibTeX: says "Sorry---you've exceeded BibTeX's buffer size 1000" if
+ the last input line is not terminated by a newline character
+
+ * dvips: DVIPS fails to find the EPS file if the full path is given in the
+ LaTeX \epsfile command argument.
+
+ * LaTeX: `\' is not accepted as a directory delimiter (on the
+ command line).
+
+MiKTeX 1.05 Changes (May 1996)
+==============================
+
+New Features
+------------
+
+ * Installation Utility
+ * BibTeX
+ * YAP (Yet Another Previewer)
+ * Local guide
+
+Updated
+-------
+
+ * LaTeX Nov'95
+ * DC Fonts 1.2
+
+Resolved Problems
+-----------------
+
+ * TeX: `\' is not accepted as a directory delimiter (on the
+ command line).
+
+ * (La)TeX: `foo.bar.tex' is converted into `foo.dvi' (instead of
+ `foo.bar.dvi').
+
+ * dvips: hangs when the font source file for a missing PK font does
+ not exist.
+
+ * dvips: dynamic creation of PostScript graphic files is not possible.
