All the files are MSDOS files, and +WHEN DOWNLOADING THEM YOU SHOULD SET THE FILE TYPE TO BINARY OR IMAGE, +as appropriate for your version of ftp. (This is usually done by the +command binary in a UNIX version of ftp.) The same remarks apply if +you are subsequently downloading the files to an MSDOS computer from +your mainframe or workstation (etc).

Any further development of ET depends +on user encouragement of the author! However + + + + INSTALLATION + ============ + +To install ET on a hard disk, use the following procedure: + + 1. Choose, and, if necessary, create a directory on the hard + disk to hold ET. In the following, I will assume this + directory is C:\ET. This directory will be referred to as + ET's home directory. + 2. Ensure that this directory is in the MSDOS path. Use the PATH + command for this purpose. Normally you will modify your + AUTOEXEC.BAT file to do this. This will ensure that ET can + be run no matter what the default directory and drive are. + 3. Copy the files on the distribution disk to ET's home + directory. If the distribution disk is in drive A: and the ET + home directory is C:\ET, then use the command + COPY A:*.* C:\ET + 4. Change default drive and directory to ET's home directory, + for example by the commands + C: + CD \ET + 5. To obtain the documentation, print out the file ETDOC.ET. + This contains full information on installing and running ET. + This printout can be obtained by the MSDOS command + PRINT ETDOC.ET + or by the MSDOS command + COPY ETDOC.ET PRN + 6. You now need to install ET itself. First run ET by the command + ET + Now set the correct home directory for ET. This will ensure + that when you run ET it will know where to look to find the + help file and the default macro file. + (a) Use the F10 key to access the main menu. + (b) Press the 'O' key to get the Options menu. + (c) Press the 'L' key to get the Load File submenu. + (d) Press the 'H' key to set the Home directory. + (e) You will be prompted to enter the name (drive and + directory) of the home directory. The current + directory's name will be given as the default (C:\ET + in our example); if this is satisfactory, press the + return key, otherwise type in the name, followed by + the return key. + (f) Press the escape key to back up one level in the menu + system. + (g) Press the 'S' key to save this and other options for + ET in its executable file. Thus the next time the + program is run, it will look in the home directory + for macro and help files. + (h) When ET has finished saving the setup, it will + display a message. + (i) Press the escape key to remove the message. + (j) Press the escape key again to remove the Options + menu. + (k) You should now be at the main menu. Either type + 'F' followed by 'Q' to quit ET, or press the escape + key to return to text editing. + (l) If you choose to stay in ET to explore it, note that + the key gets you to the main menu when you are + editing text, that the escape key backs you up one + level in the menu system, and that the key will + get you help. + (m) To exit ET, go to the File menu, and type 'Q' (for + Quit). + +Experienced users will of course be able to modify these instructions as +needed. + +Minimum files needed. If you are short on disk space you may +eliminate a number of the files. At an absolute minimum you can have +the ET.EXE, VESA16.BGI, ET.HLP, ET.MAC, ETTOTEX.EXE and TEXTOET.EXE. +You will also need PRET.EXE if you plan to print in draft mode on a +dot matrix printer. You can eliminate ET.HLP if you can get by +without online help; you can eliminate TEXTOET.EXE if you do not wish +to convert TeX files to ET, and you can eliminate ETTOTEX.EXE if you +do not plan to convert ET files to TeX on the computer you are using +to do the editting. + +Whenever you configure ET to you different keystrokes for commands, you +will need the ETINST.EXE file and ET.TXT. + + +The contents of the distribution disk are: + README This file + ET.EXE The editor. + VESA16.BGI Auxiliary file needed to handle graphics + ET.HLP Help file for ET. + ET.MAC Standard macro definitions. + ETDOC.ET Documentation for ET. + ETTOTEX.EXE Converts ET file to TeX. + TEXTOET.EXE Converts TeX file to ET. + PRET.EXE Prints out draft quality version + of ET files on EPSON compatible + printer. + PRET1.EXE An improved version of the PRET + program, for printing out draft + quality versions of ET files. It + has not been completely checked out + though. Run PRET1 /HELP to see the + new features. + GRKDRAFT.PPR Downloadable printer font used + by PRET, no longer essential. + KEYS.ET When printed out using PRET, or + displayed on screen using ET, + shows the keyboard definition + for the Greek/symbol font. + TEXCORR.ET When printed out using PRET or + displayed on screen using ET, + shows the correspondence between + the Greek/symbol font and the + translation to TeX. + ETINST.EXE Program to customize keyboard + definition and help file for ET. + ET.TXT Uncustomized help file. + ETMACS.TEX Macros that let TeX directly + handle ET files. + HW2.ET Example of ET file that is used + only for draft print out by PRET + and not with TeX. + PAPER.ET Example file: a physics paper using ET. + + ET2TEXC.C Source code in ANSI C for ET to TeX converter. + Can be used to implement ETTOTEX on another + computer. + ETDEFS.H Include file for ET2TEXC.C + ETTRAN.INC Include file for ET2TEXC.C + ET2TEXKR.C Kernighan and Ritchie C source code for + ETTOTEX -- old-fashioned C.
