Introduction +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +This is a complete distribution of emTeX. It replaces the previous +official emTeX distribution as well as all previous betatest packages. + +IMPORTANT: See CHANGES.ENG for changes with respect to the previous +emTeX distribution. See INSTALL.ENG for the general installation +instructions. See QUICK.ENG for quick installation instructions. +However, using the installation program (install.exe) is recommended. + +IMPORTANT: Please use the new font library files (such as lj_base.fli) +instead of the old ones (such as lj_0.fli through lj_5b.fli) as the +Computer Modern font sources and the METAFONT modes have changed. + +The emTeX distribution includes the TeX typesetter, the METAFONT font +generation program, printer drivers, screen previewers, and tools like +BibTeX and MakeIndex. It also includes the macro packages LaTeX 2.09 +and LaTeX2e. Fonts are included as pixel files and METAFONT source +files. + +Documentation for the TeX and METAFONT `programming languages' is not +included. You can get appropriate books at libraries and book stores. +However, the emTeX distribution includes documentation for the emTeX +implementations of TeX and METAFONT. + + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +2. Installing emTeX +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +You'll find the general installation instructions in INSTALL.ENG. +You'll find quick installation instructions in QUICK.ENG. You can +avoid reading INSTALL.ENG and QUICK.ENG by using the installation +program (install.exe)! + +You might want to print INSTALL.ENG file by typing + + copy a:\install.eng prn + +or print QUICK.ENG by typing + + copy a:\quick.eng prn + +(You don't need to print README.ENG.) + + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +3. Getting help +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +You'll find some frequently asked questions with answers in +\emtex\doc\english\help.eng. Before asking, you should read that +file. Some don't like to be asked questions that are answered in +help.eng. + +There is an electronic mailing list, emtex-user, for emTeX. To get +information on how to subscribe and unsubscribe, send a message +containing + + HELP + INFO EMTEX-USER + +in the body to majordomo@physik.tu-berlin.de. + + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +4.
