+You should now have directories:
+ src The C++ source files, plus two PostScript source files.
+ page Contains the PostScript Page Definitions
+ doc Contains documentation and example .tex files
+ man Contains the LameTeX man page
+
+You need to have a copy of latex and dvips from Radical Eye Software.
+If you want to format text in ASCII, you need to have a copy of Perl.
+
+You'll need to compile the code in the src directory.
+
+To do this, you will need to edit the Makefile. Choose the appropriate
+name for your CC executable. Choose the appropriate name for your source
+directory, page directory, and executable directory.
+
+Also, if your latex or dvips is a funny version, you will have to
+change the variables LATEX and DVIPS. Don't make this change unless
+you try lametex and it gives you an error while trying to run latex or
+dvips.
+
+Now go into the src directory and type "make".
+
+Now type cd ../doc
+
+Move the lametex_doc.ps to a temporary file with
+ mv lametex_doc.ps lametex_doc.ps.works
+
+Now try formatting the documentation in lametex_doc.tex.
+
+You can type "../src/lametex lametex_doc.tex", and LameTeX
+will process the file for you. Alternately, you can use normal LaTeX
+to format the file with "latex lametex_doc.tex".
+
+The document will tell you everything you need to know to run LameTeX.
