+
+xtem is written for Unix platforms and has been tested on many systems.
+It requires
+<A HREF="http://www.scriptics.com/">Tcl, the appropriate Tk</A>
+and <A HREF="http://www.neosoft.com/tclx/">TclX</A>.
+This version runs with Tcl/Tk/TclX
+(Tcl8.2, Tcl8.1, Tcl8.0 and Tcl7.6).
+<P>
+There exist
+<A HREF="http://www.iwd.uni-bremen.de/xtem/xtem_texmenus_eng.html"
+><B>more versions of xtem_TeXMenu</B></A>
+running with other versions of Tcl/Tk/TclX
+<P>
+The configuration has to be done by the local TeX-Administrator
+by adapting configuration files ("open lists").
+<P>
+xtem is <B>not</B> a TeX system, i.e. you need an additional TeX-package for Unix such as
+<A HREF="http://www.tug.org/teTeX/">teTeX</A>
+or another TeX-package, e.g. from
+<A HREF="http://www.tug.org/texlive.html">TeX Live</A>.
+
+
+
+<H2><A NAME="version">xtem version 7 compared with previous version 6:</A></H2>
+
+Besides adapting xtem to new Tcl versions we have done error corrections
+and added new features:
+<UL>
+ <LI> the installation procedure was splitted into two parts: the basic
+ installation (running in batch), and the setting file modification
+ (comfortable menu)</LI>
+ <LI> mkcommand.vst normally will be adapted to new Tcl version automatically, </LI>
+ <LI> the main file list in the file selection menu can be reduced
+ to display only TeX files having a <tt>\documentclass</tt>
+ or <tt>\documentstyle</tt> command, </LI>
+ <LI> hyphenations can be removed from the displayed list by mouse click,
+ removed hyphenations will not be added to the list of already
+ checked hyphenations, </LI>
+ <LI> the list of checked hyphenations can be sortetd alphabetically, </LI>
+ <LI> logfile-analyze is followed by makeindex-analyze now, </LI>
+ <LI> printers in the printer selection menu can now be sorted alphabetically
+ (see new variable <tt>prtlistsort</tt> in setting file install.vst), </LI>
+ <LI> URL links in LaTeX syntax help to the local teTeX TeX/LaTeX documentation
+ (if avalilable) and to TUG-TeX-FAQ's, </LI>
+ <LI> TeX-autostart (at the moment when edit file or main file is
+ modified) is available as new option (new variables: <tt>texautostrt</tt>
+ and <tt>texautostrtv</tt> in file install.vst). </LI>
+</UL>
+The setting files from older versions of xtem are mostly compatible
+(mkcommand.vst will be automatically updated),
+thus switching from the older version (xtem v.6) to the new release will be done easily.
