+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+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.
