[This file is ./TeX3.14/LAMS-TeX/NOTE
 for users of the Unix TeX distribution.

 August 1991.


The original LAMS-TeX distribution was intended for DOS
and Macintosh machines.  The LAMS-TeX documentation will 
reflect this.

All essential files have been kept, and are organized as
follows:

	--all LAMS-TeX input files (macros and documents)
	  are in ./inputs

	--all METAFONT sources for producing commutative 
	  diagrams are in ./mf

	--*.tfm font files generated from these sources
	  are in ./tfm

	--the index program (turns LAMS-TeX index files
	  into sorted, extended files) has been ported
	  to Unix by Pierre MacKay.  Gcc with or without 
          optimization will compile it.

		If you can get it to work with cc,
		let us know, and we will add your
		fixes to the distribution.

		E-mail: mackay@cs.washington.edu
		        elisabet@max.u.washington.edu
		Phone:  (206) 543-6259

	--the dvipaste program has been placed in 
	  DVIware/dvitools/dvipaste because of its
	  general usefulness.  LAMS-TeX users will 
	  need it when producing tables.  (DVIware
	  is parallel to the directory TeX3.14.)  


To generate the LAMS-TeX Installation Manual--also known as
"Read Me First!":

1) Copy the contents of ./inputs to your TEXINPUTS directory 
   (or to any directory where TeX can find them), or use 
   symbolic links.

2) Copy the contents of ./mf to your MFINPUTS directory
   (or use symbolic links).

3) If you followed the installation instructions in 
   ./TeX3.14/README, you have made and installed METAFONT.

   Use it to generate the *.pk font files for your previewer/printer 
   driver programs.

   The METAFONT man page is your guide to generating 
   fonts.  We strongly recommend that TeX users 
   become familiar with at least this METAFONT document.

   Sample command line for generating lams1.300gf for a 300dpi 
   write-white device:

   	% mf '\mode=RicohFourZeroEightZero; \mag=magstep0;' input lams1

   The lams?.tfm files should be placed in your TEXFONTS 
   directory.  The gf font files can be converted into pk format 
   via the mfware utility gftopk.  Rastered fonts should be 
   placed wherever your driver program expects to find them.

4) Go to DVIware/dvitools/dvipaste; make, test, and install the 
   dvipaste program.

5) Run the following commands in sequence:

	% tex insttbls
	% tex inst

		[ ignore warning messages ]		

	% emacs inst.tex 

		[ edit this file
		to remove the % sign 
		in front of the line
		\maketoc ]

	% tex inst

		[ no warning messages should appear ]

	% tex inst

		[ yes, a third time ]

	% dvipaste inst

Preview or print the resulting inst.dvi file to learn about the 
details for the steps above.  It is important that you do so.

6) TeX the samp.tex file to see another sample of LAMS-TeX at work,
   as well as for details about obtaining the primary manual and 
   other documentation for these macros.


====================================================================

LAMS-TeX (including the programs dvipaste and index) has been 
released as public domain software for inclusion in public archives 
by Michael Spivak of TeXplorators.

Send serious questions and bug reports to: spivak@math15.rice.edu.
This is NOT, repeat NOT, an FTP site for LAMS-TeX.

The UnixTeX repackaging of LAMS-TeX (including the programs
dvipaste and index) is available on june.cs.washington.edu,
in the directory ~ftp/tex.
