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 = $c :TeX:Inputs:TeXsis: + + +In either case, you should now be able to run TeX on Manual.tex, with +TeXsis selected as the format, to produce the TeXis manual. This is +worth doing as a test of the installation. A PDF version of the +result is also available. + + +$Revision: 18.3 $ : $Date: 2001/05/18 16:12:43 $ : $Author: myers $ + _ ____________________________ +(_\(__ + _|__) David N.
