+ Installing TeXsis on a Macintosh
+ using CMacTeX or OzTeX
+
+
+This file describes a workable installation scheme (others are
+possible) for TeXsis for each of the two major Macintosh shareware
+versions of TeX, CMacTeX and OzTeX.
+
+ These instructions do not apply to Mac OS X, where the TeX
+ situation is currently in its early stages. At present tetex is
+ available, and there is a CMacTeX distribution for OS X based on
+ the tetex tree. Information about TeX tools for OS X can be
+ found at:
+
+ http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/versionsX.html
+
+
+For both CMacTeX and OzTeX the working folder is assumed to be that
+containing the current distribution of TeXsis. It is assumed that the
+TXSsite.tex file for the local site resides in the working folder,
+prepared perhaps by editing TXSsite.000 or by copying or editing a
+previously existing TXSsite.tex file.
+
+You should probably read the file Install.ps, even though it does not
+mention the Macintosh. The principles are the same.
+
+
+For CMacTeX 3.7:
+
+ * Execute CMacTeX from the CMacTeX binaries folder.
+
+ * In the "Build format" menu under "File", select "other..."
+
+ * Type the following line into the "Execute" window that pops up:
+
+ tex -ini -fmt=texis &tex texsis \dump
+
+ * Click on the Set Directory button. Navigate to the working
+ directory and highlight it. Click on the Choose button to
+ choose it.
+
+ * That brings you back to the "Execute" window. Click "OK".
+
+ * This produces the file texsis.fmt in the working folder.
+ Move it to the CMaCTeX texmf:cmactex:texformats folder.
+
+ * If it doesn't exist, make a folder called "texsis" in the CMacTeX
+ texmf:tex folder. Move all .txs files to texmf:tex:texsis, and
+ all files of the form TX*.tex as well. It will be necessary to
+ update the tex macro files path with the CMacTeX setup utility if
+ the texsis folder is not already in the path.
+
+ * Move the texsis.bst file to the CMacTeX texmf:bibtex:bst folder.
+
+ * If it doesn't exist, make a folder called "texsis" in the CMacTeX
+ doc folder. Move all the remaining files into doc:texsis.
+
+
+For OzTeX 4.0:
+
+ * Execute OzTeX. Select "TeX...", then "..." under the TeX menu.
+ When the file requestor comes up, go to the working directory and
+ select Cancel, to make the working directory the default.
+
+ * Select INITEX under the TeX menu. At the ** prompt, enter
+
+ TeXsis \dump
+
+ * You should get the usual initex messages followed by a file save
+ requestor for texsis.fmt. Save it in the OzTeX TeX:Formats
+ folder.
+
+ * If it doesn't exist in the OzTeX TeX:Inputs folder, make a folder
+ called "TeXsis" there, and move all .txs files into it, as well
+ as all files of the form TX*.tex.
+
+ * Move the file texsis.bst to "Extras:BibTeX:BibTeX inputs".
+
+ * If it doesn't exist in the OzTeX TeX:Docs folder, make a folder
+ there called "TeXsis". Move all the remaining files into it.
+
+ * Add the following lines to the OzTeX Local file in the
+ current_app = OzTeX section:
+
+ format_files = $c TeXsis
+ input_folders = $c :TeX:Inputs:TeXsis:
+
+
+In either case, you should now be able to run TeX on Manual.tex, with
+TeXsis selected as the format, to produce the TeXis manual. This is
+worth doing as a test of the installation. A PDF version of the
+result is also available.
