+
+Section 1: What is EPMTeX, and this new EPMTeX Pro?
+~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+EPMTeX is a sophisticated *free* macro package that integrates the TeX
+typesetting system with the IBM enhanced editor EPM for OS/2. The
+EPMTeX macro suite adds a TeX pull down menu to the EPM menu bar, and
+includes a PM style notebook program for configuration of the package.
+
+Menu items in the TeX pull down menu allow the user to TeX (with any
+format, e.g. LaTeX), jump to errors in the TeX source, preview
+(portrait and landscape), and print (portrait and landscape) the TeX
+file currently active in EPM. Custom 'user' modes may also be defined
+for special needs unique to the user.
+
+Due to popular demand, the standard edition of EPMTeX now comes
+precompiled. The version of EPM shipped with OS/2 is all that is
+required to run EPMTeX. It is no longer necessary to obtain the EPM
+macro compiler from IBM to add the core EPMTeX features. Consequently,
+installation is now greatly simplified.
+
+EPMTeX Pro... what is this?
+
+EPMTeX was substantially rewritten to allow it to be distributed
+precompiled. In the process, some existing features were removed due to
+limitations in what can be done with a precompiled EPM macro. Users of
+earlier versions of EPMTeX may not wish to give up these features,
+particularly if they are comfortable compiling macros for EPM. For this
+reason, a Pro version of the macro package is also provided. The Pro
+version does *not* come precompiled and is not recommended for novice
+users. Its installation is complicated, requires the complete EPM macro
+compiler from IBM, and does not offer much more than the standard
+version anyway. It is provided solely as a comfort to our longtime
+EPMTeX users.
+
+The Pro version offers the following (minor) extra things over the
+standard version:
+
+ - The format and orientation can be chosen from either the settings
+ notebook (as per the standard version) or from the EPM TeX menu.
+ - The EPM TeX menu items get enabled/disabled (greyed out) as
+ appropriate. For example, if the dvi file does not exist, the
+ preview and print functions will be greyed out in the menu.
+ - Access to the macro source code should you wish to dabble in
+ a little customization of the package.
+
+If you wish to use EPMTeX Pro, unzip the file TeXpro.zip included with
+EPMTeX 3.1 and follow the installation instructions contained in the
+file readme.pro.
+
+We recommend most users stick with the simpler precompiled EPMTeX
+Standard version, as it is much easier to install.
+
+
+#######################################################################
+
+Section 2: Easy Installation Procedure (Standard version)
+~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ (see also the on-line help in epmtex.exe)
+
+NOTE: Users of older versions of EPMTeX will first have to
+ expunge the old EPMTeX files before installing the new
+ version. Refer to Appendix A for further instructions.
+
+a) Unzip the EPMTeX files into a convenient directory.
+
+b) Copy tex.ex and profile.erx to a directory that
+ is specified in either EPMPATH or PATH so that EPM can
+ find them. Most *.EX files are in the \OS2\APPS directory.
+
+NOTE: For people using EPM version 6, you need to unzip the tex.ex
+ file from v60x.zip to replace the tex.ex that is the
+ default (v5.51a).
+
+c) Copy bpmcc.dll to any directory in your LIBPATH. Copy
+ epmtex.exe and epmtex.hlp anywhere to your liking, it doesn't
+ matter where, but keep them together.
+
+d) Run epmtex.exe and fill in the notebook to describe your local TeX
+ environment. Refer to the on-line help for further information.
+
+e) Now you are ready to use the EPMTeX. There are a couple of
+ ways to tell EPM to load the tex.ex file (see also Appendix B).
+ The simplest is to use the REXX profile file 'profile.erx'
+ supplied with EPMTeX. EPM will automatically 'run' this file
+ when it starts, creating a way to customize EPM without recompiling
+ the epm macro files.
+
+ Start EPM. If the TeX menu is not visible, then you need
+ to enable the REXX profile support. Type ctrl -i to open the EPM
+ command window. Type the command 'profile on' (no quotes). Then
+ select the 'Save Options' command in the pull-down EPM menu.
+
+NOTE: For people using EPM version 6, enable REXX profile support by
+ opening the EPM settings notebook and check the 'REXX profile'
+ option on the Misc page.
+
+f) Exit EPM and restart. The TeX menu should be visible now. Load a
+ TeX file and test it out!
+
+
+#######################################################################
+
+APPENDIX A: Removing a previous EPMTeX Version
+
+To install over a previous version of EPMTeX you will need to first
+purge the old EPMTeX files from your system.
+
+a) Remove the old EPMTeX version from your epm files:
+
+ 1) Delete the EPMTeX part of Mymnuini.e
+ 2) Delete the EPMTeX part of Mykeyset.e (if any)
+ 3) Delete the EPMTeX part of Mykeys.e (if any)
+ 4) Delete the EPMTeX part of Mystuff.e (if any)
+ 5) Delete the EPMTeX constants from Mycnf.e (This is optional
+ but the constants are no longer used)
+ 6) delete the old tex.ex (if any)
+
+b) Recompile (version 6 users can skip the extra.e recompile)
+ etpm epm
+ etpm extra
+
+c) Now you should have a plain version of EPM, like
+ it was before you installed EPMTeX. Try running EPM
+ and make sure the TeX menu is gone.
+
+
+#######################################################################
+
+APPENDIX B: Compiling in the EPMTeX Macros.
+
+ Another way to link in the tex.ex file is to edit your mystuff.e file.
+ This is more work because it requires recompiling your EPM macros. In
+ fact, if you're going to go to this much bother, you might as well
+ just install the full blown EPMTeX Pro version. But for those people
+ who want to do it anyway, add the following lines to mystuff.e
+
+ definit
+ 'linkverify tex'
+
+ Now recompile (version 6 users can skip the extra.e recompile)
+
+ etpm epm
+ etpm extra
+
+ This will cause tex.ex to be linked in automatically whenever
+ you start EPM. You can delete the EPMTeX portion of your profile.erx
+ file if you use this method since it is no longer needed.
+
+

+APPENDIX C: Disclaimer:

+
+We are by no means experts on programming the EPM enhanced editor. While these
+TeX enhancements have been fairly thoroughly tested, there could easily be
+oversights on our parts that result in problems for some configurations of EPM.
+If you think you have found a genuine bug, or would like to make suggestions,
+contributions, or enhancements to this code please drop one of us a note.
+Since we have released this code without charge, we cannot offer a warranty
+or customer support. Everything you need to get going should be available
+in the EPMTeX package and the IBM supplied EPM documentation.
