		TeX for 386/486/586 PC's with Microsoft Windows


	The following files are available by anonymous ftp from
penguin.phy.bnl.gov:/pub/msdos:

	emtex.zip is a PKZIP file of emTeX, a public domain version of TeX
	for 386 or higher PC's running DOS and Microsoft Windows.  It has
	been slightly modified for BNL:
		texsis.bat has been added to run TeXsis;
		pprint.bat has been added to print on an HP Laserjet.
		texfonts\4allmine.fli has been added.

	notgnu.zip is a PKZIP file of nogGNU Emacs, a version of Emacs for
	Microsoft Windows.

	texsis.zip is a PKZIP file of TeXsis 2.16 with the BNL site file and
	a .fmt file for emTeX.

All of these files can be freely distributed.


	Installation instructions:

	(1) Create a directory c:\emtex and place emtex.zip in it.  Unpack
it with the command
	pkunzip -d emtex.zip
If you change this or other directory names, you will have to modify several
.bat files.

	(2) Create a directory c:\notgnu and place notgnu.zip in it.  Unpack
it with the command
	pkunzip -d notgnu.zip

	(3) Create a directory c:\texsis and place texsis.zip in it.  Unpack
it with the command
	pkunzip -d texsis.zip

	(4) Edit your config.sys file and add or modify the shell command to
allocate at least 2048 bytes of environment space:
	shell=c:\dos\command.com c:\dos /p /e:2048

	(5) Edit your autoexec.bat file and add the following lines to
initialize TeX:
	call c:\emtex\set_tex
	set texinput=c:\texsis;%texinput%
These commands must be executed before Windows is started.  set_tex adds
c:\emtex to your path.

	(6) Using the Windows Program Manager, add c:\emtex\dviwin and
c:\notgnu\wnot to an existing or new program group.

	(7) Reboot and restart Windows.

	(8) Optionally, run TeXsis on the manual to see that everything is
working:
	cd \texsis
	texsis manual

	(9) Start dviwin by clicking on its icon.  In c:\texsis, try to open
manual.dvi.  No fonts will be visible.  Under the Options menu, set the font
directory to be c:\emtex\texfonts, and under the Resolution menu, set the
resolution to be 300dpi.  The manual should then be readable.  Under the File
menu, exit to save these changes.
