+ TeX for 386/486/586 PC's with Microsoft Windows
+
+
+ The following files are available by anonymous ftp from
+penguin.phy.bnl.gov:/pub/msdos:
+
+ emtex.zip is a PKZIP file of emTeX, a public domain version of TeX
+ for 386 or higher PC's running DOS and Microsoft Windows. It has
+ been slightly modified for BNL:
+ texsis.bat has been added to run TeXsis;
+ pprint.bat has been added to print on an HP Laserjet.
+ texfonts\4allmine.fli has been added.
+
+ notgnu.zip is a PKZIP file of nogGNU Emacs, a version of Emacs for
+ Microsoft Windows.
+
+ texsis.zip is a PKZIP file of TeXsis 2.16 with the BNL site file and
+ a .fmt file for emTeX.
+
+All of these files can be freely distributed.
+
+
+ Installation instructions:
+
+ (1) Create a directory c:\emtex and place emtex.zip in it. Unpack
+it with the command
+ pkunzip -d emtex.zip
+If you change this or other directory names, you will have to modify several
+.bat files.
+
+ (2) Create a directory c:\notgnu and place notgnu.zip in it. Unpack
+it with the command
+ pkunzip -d notgnu.zip
+
+ (3) Create a directory c:\texsis and place texsis.zip in it. Unpack
+it with the command
+ pkunzip -d texsis.zip
+
+ (4) Edit your config.sys file and add or modify the shell command to
+allocate at least 2048 bytes of environment space:
+ shell=c:\dos\command.com c:\dos /p /e:2048
+
+ (5) Edit your autoexec.bat file and add the following lines to
+initialize TeX:
+ call c:\emtex\set_tex
+ set texinput=c:\texsis;%texinput%
+These commands must be executed before Windows is started. set_tex adds
+c:\emtex to your path.
+
+ (6) Using the Windows Program Manager, add c:\emtex\dviwin and
+c:\notgnu\wnot to an existing or new program group.
+
+ (7) Reboot and restart Windows.
+
+ (8) Optionally, run TeXsis on the manual to see that everything is
+working:
+ cd \texsis
+ texsis manual
+
+ (9) Start dviwin by clicking on its icon. In c:\texsis, try to open
+manual.dvi. No fonts will be visible. Under the Options menu, set the font
+directory to be c:\emtex\texfonts, and under the Resolution menu, set the
+resolution to be 300dpi. The manual should then be readable. Under the File
+menu, exit to save these changes.
