+WinShell Installation
+
+Following these 3 steps [plus 2 optional] will lead to a working
+LATEX environment.
+
+-> LATEX package
+ A LATEX package is required. There are two common ones:
+ MiKTeX: http://www.miktex.org/
+ TeXLive: http://www.texlive.org/
+ These packages can also be found at the different TEX communities:
+ ftp://ftp.dante.de/ Germany
+ ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/ England
+ ftp://ctan.tug.org/ USA
+ The LATEX packages are located at: /pub/tex/systems/win32/
+
+-> PDF viewer
+ A PDF viewer has to be installed to view .pdf documents. There are
+ several possibilities, e.g. with Foxit Reader, GSViewer, Adobe
+ Reader or Sumatra PDF:
+ Sumatra PDF: http://blog.kowalczyk.info/software/sumatrapdf/
+ Foxit Reader: http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php
+ GSView: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/index.html
+ Adobe Reader: http://www.adobe.com/
+ Sumatra PDF supports SyncTeX which allows forward and inverse
+ search in .pdf documents.
+
+-> PostScript viewer [optional]
+ A PostScript viewer is optional and not necessary if the focus is
+ on creating .pdf documents.
+ To view the PostScript files install PostScript and the GSviewer:
+ http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/index.html
+
+-> WinShell
+ WinShell comes as a zip file and as a complete setup program. Only ONE
+ is needed!
+ Zip file: Extract the zip file to the directory of your choice and
+ start WinShell.exe
+ Setup program: The setup program copies all the WinShell files to a
+ specific directory, e.g. C:\Program Files\WinShell.
+ Registry entries are made for the .tex and the .wsp files.
+
+ When WinShell starts for the first time, the following files will be
+ created in a directory depending on the OS (Operating System) version
+ you are running:
+ WinShellMacros.bmp
+ WinShellUserTools.bmp
+ WinShell.ini
+ WinShell.macros
+ WinShellDict.txt
+ WinShell.bibtex_fields
+ WinShell.bibtex_types
+ By default, WinShell tries to find the executable files by searching
+ the registry. The LATEX binary path should be added to the environment
+ variable PATH in the autoexec.bat (depending on the OS version).
+ That is why WinShell should be installed in the last stage of the LATEX
+ installation procedure.
+
+-> SpellChecker [optional]
+ For spell checking download a dictionary from
+ http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries
+ and copy it to the Dictionaries folder in the WinShell folder,
+ e.g. C:\Program Files\WinShell\Dictionaries
+
