Modifications and enhancements were +introduced to make the implementation work on the Amiga with the +SAS/C++ 6.58 compiler. + +What you get with `amiweb2c21.lha' is a stripped excerpt of the +complete `Unix-TeX' system from + + ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/web2c/ + +ported to the Amiga. Due to its total size of more than 30 megabytes +of installed material, I decided to exclude everything that is publicly +available from either AmiNet (e.g., ftp://ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/ +pub/aminet/) or more likely from CTAN (Comprehensive TeX Archive Network; +the German node is ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/), so in addition to +the present distribution you will have to fetch several other packages +before you can start for real. + +So why should you want to get `amiweb2c21.lha' at all? Because it +contains a native port of the famous `texk' implementation of the TeX +system for Unix, on which most of the installations are based. + +Included are (among others) + + TeX 3.14159 (standard TeX, e-TeX, Omega, and PDFTeX) + MetaFont 2.718 + BibTeX 0.99c + MetaPost 0.64 + DVIPS 5.78 + +and a lot of auxiliary tools and programs. The complete Unix-TeX system +was ported directly from the Web2c 7.2 system, which already provides full +(yet hidden) support for the Amiga. Necessary stuff for implementors is +coming with this distribution. + +The contents of this archive is automatically installed at the +appropriate places by either the command + + $ lha x -a amiweb2c21.lha + +or the commands + + $ gzip -d amiweb2c-2.1.tar.gz + $ tar xvf amiweb2c-2.1.tar + +depending on the source from where you fetched the distribution. + +Almost 11 (metric) megabytes will be extracted to the root directory +`AmiWeb2c-2.1/'. Everything else has to be added in the directory +structure below this top level. The bulk of either archive consists +of the binaries for all programs created from the original Web2c sources. + +Detailed information about what else is needed and about how to install +"AmiWeb2c 2.1" is given in "texmf/doc/amiga/README.amiweb2c". + + + +Enjoy! + + +March 1998 + +Andreas Scherer +Rochusstraße 22-24 +52062 Aachen, Germany +<andreas.scherer@pobox.com> |
