+readme.dos
+This is a demo version of CTeX under DOS.
+All files contained in the demonstration package are property of the
+ Prosoft International.
+Prohibited for distribution for commercial purposes.
+Prosoft International reserves all rights for this software package.
+
+1. What is CTeX?
+
+CTeX 2.1 is a pure and portable extension of TeX and its DVI drivers.
+It is designed specifically for the professional oriental language
+typesetting community. In CTeX, oriental languages are not longer
+the ``foreign languages'' in the TeX community. All features of the
+existing TeX and its DVI drivers are extended to the oriental languages.
+In addition, CTeX provides the following unique features for the
+professional document production:
+ o supporting multiple oriental languages and coding schemes ( up to 128 )
+ in a single document.
+ o supporting a large number of oriental fonts up to 128. An oriental
+ font is a font of thousands characters. For instance, GB Kai Ti is
+ taken as one font of 6,763 chars.
+ o supporting both outline and bitmap fonts. The outline font manager
+ of CTeX is just much faster than any other font managers. For instance,
+ on a 486/33MHz PC, it generates 17 distinct characters per second.
+ o supporting user defined bitmap symbols. The Quick Bitmap Interface,
+ as a standard component of CTeX, lets you generate bitmap symbols in
+ one step.
+ o spliting your printer files. You not longer need to worry about the
+ printer errors due to your extensive use of fonts, and you not longer
+ need to split your TeX files because of the limited font capacity of
+ your printer.
+
+2. HOW TO INSTALL CTeX DEMO?
+
+2.1 If you obtained the CTeX demo from network distribution:
+
+ Copy the file demo.exe to directory on hard disk, say, c:\ctexdemo.
+ Demo.exe is a self-extracting file.
+ Type
+demo
+ to extract the installation files, and type
+install
+
+2.2 If you obtained the CTeX demo from a normal distribution:
+
+Insert demo disk into drive b: or a:
+type
+b: or a:
+then type
+install
+
+Please follow the interactive instructions to complete the installation.
+
+3. RUN A DEMO
+
+After installation, you have several printer files on the directory:
+corder.hp, cccdemo.hp, c1ccdemo.hp (for HP printers) and
+corder.ps (for PostScript printers).
+All of these files are produced by CTeX system.
+
+Now you are able to run dvic, the CTeX dvi-driver.
+
+type:
+dvic order.dvi
+
+You will get a printer file order.xx. The order.dvi was produced using
+TeX 3.14 and it contains 50 Kai Ti Chinese outline characters. The demo
+version of dvic supports up to only 60 oriental language characters in one
+single document.
+
+Print out the file corder.ps or corder.hp and the cccdemo.hp and c1ccdemo.hp.
+
+4. ORDER
+
+Print out the file:
+order.hp ( on HP printer )
+or
+order.ps ( on Postscript printer )
+
+You will find out more information regarding the software. Fill out the
+order form and send out today.
+
+5. OTHERS
+
+Prosoft International has other products/services available:
+5.1 Software developers' kit: CTeX outline and bitmap font manager
+integration kit. With this kit, software developers not longer need to
+develop their own font managers. The CTeX font manager is simply the
+fastest font manager. Currently we have 10 Chinese outline fonts and
+more fonts will be produced via our outline production line.
+
+5.2 Outline Font Production Service.
+We provide service of converting bitmap fonts to outline fonts at price of
+$1.00 per character. Contact us for more detail.
