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. + +9/95 +Jon Hacker +INTERNET: hacker@patagonia.bellcore.com + +Rodney Korte +Penn State, State College, PA +INTERNET: korte@sabine.psu.edu + |
