Finishing the installation + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +1. Introduction +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +These instructions tell you how to perform a quick installation of +emTeX without employing the installation program. Please try the +installation program before attempting to install emTeX manually! + +These quick installation instructions apply only if all of the +following conditions are true: + +- You have a 386 CPU or better and use DOS 3.0 or later or OS/2 2.0 or + later (including Warp). + +- You want to use plain TeX or LaTeX2e. + +- You don't want to generate the base fonts yourself (for instance, + because you have the appropriate xx_base.fli file for your printer). + +If at least one of these conditions do not apply or if you want to +tune your installation or if you want to know what you are doing, +please use the detailed general installation instructions in +INSTALL.ENG. + +(The quick installation instructions are provided for those who take +the general installation instructions to be too complicated -- for all +other users, the general installation instructions are recommended.) + +These installation instructions assume that emTeX will be installed on +drive C: in directory \emtex and that the distribution files are on +diskettes in drive A:. If you choose to install emTeX in a different +directory or if the distribution files are in a different location, +you have to modify the commands appropriately. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +2. Installing unzip.exe +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +If you already have unzip.exe, you can use that for unpacking the +archive files. + +If you have pkunzip.exe (version 2.x), you can use that for unpacking +the archive files. Note, however, that you have to type `pkunzip -d' +instead of `unzip'. + +If you have neither unzip.exe nor pkunzip.exe (version 2.x), type the +following commands, where `c:\bin' is a directory in your PATH +(diskette 1 in drive A:). + +2.1. Installing unzip.exe for DOS +--------------------------------- + +Enter the following commands: + + a:\unz512x3 unzip386.exe + ren unzip386.exe unzip.exe + +2.2. Installing unzip.exe for OS/2 +--------------------------------- + +Enter the following commands: + + c: + cd \bin + a:\unz512 unzip32.exe + ren unzip32.exe unzip.exe + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +3. Modifying autoexec.bat and config.sys +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +When adding a directory, use a semicolon to separate the new directory +from the last one. + +Reboot after making these changes to autoexec.bat or config.sys. + +3.1 Modifying autoexec.bat and config.sys under DOS +--------------------------------------------------- + +Add c:\emtex\bin to PATH= of autoexec.bat. + +Add c:\emx\bin to PATH= of autoexec.bat. + +Add the following lines to autoexec.bat: + + set emtexdir=c:\emtex + set dvidrvfonts=c:\texfonts + set mfjobopt=/3 + +Please don't use spaces! (`set emtexdir = c:\emtex' won't work!) + +Set the environment variable TMP in autoexec.bat (unless already set) +by adding a line line the following one to autoexec.bat: + + set tmp=c:\temp + +TMP should point to an existing scratch directory (create the +directory if it does not yet exist). + +If there is a line `FILES=xx' in config.sys where xx is less than 20, +change xx to 20 or more. + +If there is no line `FILES=xx' in config.sys, add this line: + + FILES=20 + +Remove `BREAK=ON' from config.sys. + +To avoid overflow of the environment space, add this line to +config.sys (this example assumes that DOS is installed in directory +c:\dos): + + SHELL=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM C:\DOS /E:1024 /P + +If you already have such a line in config.sys, you might have to +increase the value of the /E option by approximately 512. Note that +there are some versions of DOS where the syntax or semantics are +slightly different. + +3.2 Modifying config.sys under OS/2 +----------------------------------- + +Use E, not EPM, for editing config.sys! + +Add c:\emx\dll to LIBPATH= of config.sys. + +Add c:\emtex\dll to LIBPATH= of config.sys. + +Add c:\emtex\bin to SET PATH= of config.sys. + +Add c:\emx\bin to SET PATH= of config.sys. + +Add c:\emtex\help to SET HELP= of config.sys. + +Add c:\emtex\book\english to SET BOOKSHELF= of config.sys. + +Add the following lines to config.sys: + + set emtexdir=c:\emtex + set dvidrvfonts=c:\texfonts + set mfjobopt=/3 + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +4. Choosing fonts +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +Depending on your printer, choose one of the following font sets: + + bj Canon BubbleJet (360 DPI) + dj HP DeskJet (300 DPI) + fax Fax (204x196 DPI) + fx 9-pin printers (240x216 DPI) + ito C.ITOH 8510A (160x144 DPI) + lj HP LaserJet (300 DPI) + ljh HP LaserJet 4 (600 DPI) + p6h 24-pin printers (360 DPI) + p6l 24-pin printers (180 DPI) + p6m 24-pin printers (360x180 DPI) + qj HP QuietJet (192 DPI) + sty EPSON Stylus 800 (360 DPI) + +If you do not have a printer, choose `p6l' (for a slow machine) or +`lj' (for a fast machine). + +For the rest of this document, let `XX' represent the name of the font +set you have chosen. + +Copy the base fonts of the font set, if you have them: + + c: + md \texfonts + copy a:\XX_base.fli c:\texfonts + + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +5. Unpacking the ZIP files +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +Type the following commands to unpack the ZIP files. The diskette +numbers refer to the recommandations of DISKETTE.DOC: + + c: --- Diskette --- + cd \ 1440KB 1200KB + unzip a:\first 1 1 + unzip a:\emxrsx 1 2 + unzip a:\dvid16h1 2 3 + unzip a:\dvid16h2 3 2 + unzip a:\tex4b 4 4 + unzip a:\mf4b 5 5 + unzip a:\fontcm 5 6 + unzip a:\fontltx 5 6 + unzip a:\l2input 6 6 + unzip a:\mfjob12d 6 7 + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +6. Creating format files +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +Type the following commands to create format files: + + cd \emtex\btexfmts + makefmt 386 plain US <--- if you need PLAIN TeX + makefmt 386 latex2e US 8bit -b \emtex\bin\latex2e + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +7. Creating base files +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +Type the following commands to create the PLAIN base file: + + cd \emtex\bmfbases + makebas 386 plain + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +8. Testing the installation +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +Type the following commands to typeset a sample document: + + md \test + cd \test + latex2e sample2e + +The following two sections tell you how to view the sample output on +the screen (as defined above, `XX' is the name of the font set to use, +e.g. `lj'). + +8.1. Viewing the sample output under DOS +---------------------------------------- + +Type + + v @XX sample2e + +The following message will be displayed: + + Warning 1209: do you want to call MFjob to generate 1 missing font now? + Type Y, N, or ?: + +Reply `y'. If you have not installed fonts, computing the fonts for +the sample will take a while. + +When the page shows up (white background), you can scale the output by +typing `-'. To quit, type `q'. + +8.2. Viewing the sample output under OS/2 +----------------------------------------- + +Type + + vp @XX sample2e + +A dialog box asking + + Do you want to call MFjob to generate 1 missing font now? + +will pop up. Click on `Yes'. + +Select the window titled `dvipm - sample2e'. You can scale the output +by typing `-'. To quit, type Alt+F4. + +8.3. Printing the sample +------------------------ + +The command to print the sample depends on your printer. See +\emtex\doc\english\dvidrv.doc for the appropriate command for your +printer, here are examples for some printers: + + prthplj sample2e <--- HP LaserJet, 300 DPI (lj) + prthpljh sample2e <--- HP LaserJet IV, 600 DPI (ljh) + prthpdj sample2e <--- HP DeskJet (lj) + prtp6l sample2e <--- NEC P6, 180 DPI (p6l) + prtp6m sample2e <--- NEC P6, 360x180 DPI (p6m) + prtp6h sample2e <--- NEC P6, 360 DPI (p6h) + prtlql sample2e <--- EPSON LQ, 180 DPI (p6l) + prtlqm sample2e <--- EPSON LQ, 360x180 DPI (p6m) + prtlqh sample2e <--- EPSON LQ, 360 DPI (p6h) + prtsty sample2e <--- EPSON Stylus 800 (sty) + prtfx sample2e <--- EPSON FX-80 (fx) + prtbj10e sample2e <--- Canon BJ-10e (bj) + prtbj300 sample2e <--- Canon BJ300 (bj) + +See \emtex\doc\english\dvidrv.doc for additional commands (for exotic +printers, for creating drafts, for creating bitmaps). + +If your printer is not connected to the default printer port (PRN), +give the printer port as second argument, for example: + + prthplj sample2e lpt2 + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +9. Finishing the installation +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +Adjust the printer-model-specific margins, according to +\emtex\doc\english\dvidrv.doc. + +See the general installation instructions in INSTALL.ENG for +installation of other packages and for further configuration of your +installation. + + -------- End of QUICK.ENG ------------- |
