	   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 notGNU 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.
