+IMPORTANT
+---------
+
+This Package only supplies the Tibetan Transcript Translator.
+You must have Sam Sirlin's font(*.mf), font metrics (*.tfm)
+and tibdef.tex installed! If you don't have Metafont or work
+on an old LaTeX version, follow the special instructions below.
+
+Please look at the remarks at the top of the c source code.
+
+
+IF YOU HAVE SAM SIRLIN'S PACKAGE ALREADY INSTALLED
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+The only thing you have to do is to compile the source ttt.c:
+
+ gcc ttt.c -o ttt
+
+that's it!
+
+If you want to LaTeX compile the file intro.tib, enter the following
+three lines. Maybe you have another viewer than xdvi.
+
+ ttt input.ttd tex.ttd intro.tib intro.tex
+ latex intro
+ xdvi intro &
+
+You still may have to adopt is the paper size: instead of a4paper,
+use letterpaper, a5paper, b5paper, executivepaper or legalpaper.
+
+
+WORKING WITHOUT METAFONT
+------------------------
+
+Jeff Sparkes supplies the *.pk files in the package called 'original'.
+Install the *.pk and *.tfm files there and compile ttt.c as above.
+Do not use any feature supplied by Sam Sirlin. You may even have
+to comment away or remove the
+ \input{tibdef.tex}
+in the files tptex.tex and tplatex.tex
+
+
+WORKING WITH OLD LATEX VERSIONS
+-------------------------------
+
+Change all \documentclass commands to \documentstyle
+and adapt the paper size names.
+
+ grep '\documentclass' *
+
+will help you doing so.
+
+
+INSTALLING THE FONTS
+--------------------
+
+A good question regulary occurs on where to put the TeX font files.
+Here are some suggestions where to put them (taken from my installations).
+Since the paths differ quite much among systems and distributions,
+I could not write an installation script saving you this setup work
+which is quite hard for beginners.
+
+Instead of copying the font files, you can set font path variables (see
+extract from my SET-TEX.BAT file for DOS below. Hopefully, the variable
+names are equal under Linux).
+
+If the directories mentioned do not exist, look for them using
+on UNIX and derivated systems:
+ find / -type f -name "*.mf" -print
+
+Under DOS, use
+ cd \
+ dir *.mf /s
+
+
+teTeX Font Path for Metafonts (*.mf) on SuSE Linux:
+/usr/lib/teTeX/texmf/fonts/source/public/tib
+
+teTeX Font Path for pk (*.300pk or *.pk) fonts on SuSE Linux:
+/var/texfonts/pk/deskjet/*.300pk
+emtex under DOS:
+\emtex\pixel.lj\300dpi\*.pk
+
+teTeX Font Path for (*.tfm) files on SuSE Linux:
+/var/texfonts/tfm
+DOS:
+/emtex/tfm
+
+teTeX inputs (*.tex) and style (*.sty) Path on SuSE Linux:
+/usr/lib/teTeX/texmf/tex/generic/tib
+
+
+Font and other path environment variables (at least for emtex under DOS):
+
+SET TEXINPUT=T:\EMTEX\TEXINPUT;T:\MYTEX
+SET TEXFMT=T:\EMTEX\TEXFMTS
+SET BTEXFMT=T:\EMTEX\BTEXFMTS
+SET TEXTFM=T:\EMTEX\TFM
+SET MFINPUT=T:\EMTEX\MFINPUT
+SET MFBAS=T:\EMTEX\MFBASES
+SET BMFBAS=T:\EMTEX\BMFBASES
+SET MFJOB=T:\EMTEX\MFJOB
+SET BIBINPUT=T:\EMTEX\BIBINPUT
+SET DVIDRVINPUT=T:\MYTEX;T:\EMTEX\DOC
+SET DVIDRVFONTS=T:\TEXFONTS
+
+
+Hope this helps.
