Program: AMSTeX v2.1 and AMSLaTeX v1.1 by the American Mathematical Society Source(s): ftp'ed from e-math.ams.com Date(s) obtained: 1 Mar 92 and 9 Apr 92 Notes: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FILES ON THIS FLOPPY ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following files can be found on this floppy: -READ ME This file. AMSFONTS ZOO METAFONT source code for all the AMS fonts. (Use TOMS) AMSLATEX ZOO All code for AMSLaTeX. (Use TOMS) AMSTEX ZOO All code for AMSTeX. (Use TOMS) README ZOO A read.me file from e-math.ams com. (Use TOMS) TFM-FILE ZOO The .TFM font files. (Binary files, do not use TOMS.) TOMS EXE Convert UNIX text files to MS-DOS text files. ZOO EXE Unpack archives. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ZOO ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To save disks, these files are archived and compressed using ZOO. Where there was spare space on the disk, I have included ZOO, which is also the extraction tool. ZOO was used as it is relatively system independent, allowing people using many operating systems to manipulate these files. Only the MS-DOS version of ZOO is supplied on this disk. To extract the files to a directory, or in the case of files stored with directory information, to directories relative to it, go to that directory by logging to the drive and then issuing a CD command. When you are in the directory, type the following command: a:zoo x Naturally, if your floppy is actually in your B: drive, specify that instead of the A: drive. You can speed matters up by copying the ZOO.EXE file to a directory on your PATH on your hard drive, in which case you don't have to specify a drive in front of the command. More sophisticated use of ZOO is, of course, possible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LINE END CHARACTERS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The text files on this disk are in UNIX form, which means that each line ends in a line-feed character alone, instead of the MS-DOS standard of a line-feed, carriage-return pair. They came that way from the archive from which they were obtained, and they were not converted to allow these files to be of use to as many people as possible. If you do wish to use the files under MS-DOS, you can easily convert them with the supplied program TOMS. TOMS is capable of converting of converting one or more files at a time. You can specify one or more files with standard MS-DOS wildcards: TOMS *.txt -or- TOMS directory\*.* In the latter case, the program will convert all files which are in that directory. While the program will not damage text files if it processes them more than once, *DO*NOT* use it on binary files such as program files (i.e., .EXE and .COM) and font files (i.e., .PK, .TFM, and .FLI). To aid you, the list of files on this disk that is given above should make clear as to which files should be treated and which should not. (Actually, the program tries to determine which files are binary files, and then does not convert them. I wouldn't trust this capability to be failproof.) TOMS is a renamed copy of FLIP v1.0a by Rahul Dhesi. Under the terms of the license, you can use it free. Source code to the program and documentation is available from TUG. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADDRESSES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact TUG for catalogs, disk orders, defective disks, and matters of a like nature: TeX Users Group Tel: (401)751-7760 653 N.
