+ABOUT OS2TeX
+
+OS2TeX is a distribution of Donald E. Knuth's typesetting system TeX
+for the IBM operating system OS/2 Warp.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+WHAT ARE THE FEATURES OF OS2TeX?
+
+- An installation program installs and configures the whole system
+
+- User interface (shell) is supporting every step to create and work
+ on TeX documents
+
+- Automatic creation of the needed fonts for every output device
+ controlled by an OS/2 printer driver.
+
+- OS2TeX is based on the client-server architecture. Caused by this
+ the consistency of the fonts is guaranteed, even if several DVI
+ drivers are active at the same time.
+
+- Tool for the driver independent integration of graphics into TeX
+ documents by the transformation of graphics to fonts. The graphics
+ can be scaled to several resolutions. Therefore it is possible to
+ print documents with graphcis on printers with different
+ resolutions, e.g. 300 dpi and 360 dpi.
+
+- OS2TeX is built up multi-threaded, including modern techniques of
+ process synchronisation, therefore serveral steps can be done at
+ the same time.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
+
+- OS/2 Warp V3, OS/2 Warp V4 fixpack 1 and higher.
+
+- HPFS filesystem.
+
+- 30 MB of free disk space.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+HOW TO INSTALL OS2TeX?
+
+
+1. Unzip file os2tex.zip:
+
+ unzip os2tex.zip
+
+ You'll get 8 files:
+
+ os2tex.ger
+ os2tex.eng
+ disk1.zip
+ disk2.zip
+ disk3.zip
+ disk4.zip
+ disk5.zip
+ disk6.zip
+
+2.1. Create a temporary directorie on hard disk:
+
+ md temp
+
+2.2 Change into that directory:
+
+ cd temp
+
+2.3 Unzip disk1.zip through disk4.zip:
+
+ unzip -o disk1.zip
+ unzip -o disk2.zip
+ unzip -o disk3.zip
+ unzip -o disk4.zip
+ unzip -o disk5.zip
+ unzip -o disk6.zip
+
+2.4 Start the installation program and follow the instructions:
+
+ install.exe
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+THE FIRST STEP AFTER INSTALLING OS2TEX
+
+As mentioned above, OS2TeX is based on the client-server
+architecture. A DVI previewer will try to establish a connection
+to a font server for retrieving fonts that are part of your TeX
+document. Therefore it is necessary to start the font server
+before starting any DVI viewer. This is done through an icon
+"metafont server", you will find within the OS/2-TeX folder.
+
+If you forget to start the metafont server, any requests on fonts
+will fail!
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ENGLISH SPEAKING USERS
+
+The English translation is not quite complete. All menus and dialogs
+are written in English, but not the help files. A version including
+all help files written in English is planned in 1998.
+
