Readme.ppc

[Header]
Readme-File for MikTeX 1.08 for WindowsNT on the PowerPC-platform.

[Author]
Andreas Berz <e-mail: tb10ber@dehomag.e-mail.com>
No, I am not the autor of this TeX package. The author is Christian Schenk
<e-mail: cschenk@berlin.snafu.de>. I just adopted it to the PowerPC platform.

[Content]
This is a complete distribution of MikTeX 1.08 for the PowerPC-platform.

The following zip-archives are platform independant (means: no matter wether 
WindowsNT on Intel or PowerPC), but not necessarily independant on the Version 
of MikTeX. They are similar or identical to the original MikTeX-version 1.08 from
Christian Schenk (author of MikTeX).

   amsf108.zip
   amsl108.zip
   babl108.zip
   bib108.zip
   cm108.zip
   dvips108.zip
   ec108.zip
   latex108.zip
   mf108.zip
   mik108.zip
   misc108.zip
   mkind108.zip
   mp108.zip
   ps108.zip
   sty108.zip
   tex108.zip
   txi108.zip
   vga108.zip

The following files are platform dependant because they contain the binaries
for the PowerPC-platform and modified sources.

   exe108pa.zip      PowerPC-based Dll's
   exe108pb.zip      PowerPC-based TeX-binaries
   src108.zip        Sources modified for PowerPC-Visual C/C++ 4.0
   install.exe       Installation-Utility
   unzip.exe         Unzip-Utlity used by Installation-Utlity

[Processor type]
All binaries are compiled for the 604-PowerPC processor.

[More Info]
For more information (about the installation process, etc.) please read the files
miktex.html, miktex.hlp in the doc\miktex-Directory (in doc.zip) and 'News'.

[Build executables]
To build the executables you need the following PowerPC speceific tools:
-Microsoft Visual 4.0 C/C++ NT RISC-Version for PowerPC
-GNU sed
-zip, unzip
-Perl interpreter
-GNU groff

The sed is available at:
ftp://ftp.winsite.com/pub//pc/winnt/miscutils/psed109.zip
or
http://www.winsite.com/winnt/miscutil/page3.html

The zip, unzip utlities are available at:
ftp://ftp.winsite.com/pub//pc/winnt/misc/zip21ppc.zip
or
http://www.winsite.com/winnt/misc/page12.html

The Perl interpreter ist available at:
http://www.activeware.com

The Directory <TeX root dir>/source/miktex-1.08/ppctool contains a groff package for 
WindowsNT with PowerPC binaries. The author of the package is Dr. David Coe 
<e-mail: david@coent.demon.co.uk> and it is available at the virtual UNIX page at:
http://www.itribe.net/virtunix/contributors.html. The PowerPC binaries are not 
available in the internet, so I include the groff package into the source tree. 
To recompile the source tree you need to add the the path to the bin directory of the
groff package to the PATH variable. You also need to set the environment variables 
GROFF_TMAC_PATH and GROFF_FONT_PATH as descriped in the file Readme.nt in the ppctool
directory.
