<!-- HIER BEGINNT DER INHALT -->
You may need to select downloading explicitly by using a menu of
your browser for some of the files (e.g. the jar archives and the
shell script). Please check the file sizes for the
jar archives after download before trying to use them.<br>
All <code>.zip</code> archives with text files are created with
CR/LF lineend markers. *n*x users may wish to use an option to
change that on extraction.
<p>
Things you need in any case:
<ul>
<li>
The <a href="pp4sty.zip">style files</a> (a zip
archive, prepared 12 Sep 2002) for formatting.<br>
If you just need one of the files pick it from here:
<ul>
<li><a href="pause.sty"><code>pause.sty</code></a>
as of 18 Jun 2002</a>
</li>
<li><a href="background.sty"><code>background.sty</code></a>
as of 26 Apr 2002</a>
</li>
<li><a href="pp4link.sty"><code>pp4link.sty</code></a>
as of 18 Jun 2000
</li>
<li><a href="mpmulti.sty"><code>mpmulti.sty</code></a>
as of 09 Sep 2002
</li>
<li><a href="texpause.sty"><code>texpause.sty</code></a>
as of 10 Feb 2000 (just for the record, not really
needed)</a>
</li>
<li><a href="pp4slide.sty"><code>pp4slide.sty</code></a>
as of 10 Feb 2000 (see note below)</a>
</li>
</ul>
Put these style files into your (local) LaTeX tree and update
the contents cache, if necessary (<code>web2c: mktexlsr</code>).<br>
Note for people who have installed the package
<code>pdfslide</code>: this package is likely to contain an
outdated version of <code>pause.sty</code>. You should
remove that one.<br>
Another note: the file <code>pdfslide.sty</code> quoted in the
report has been renamed to <code>pp4slide.sty</code> to avoid
a name conflict with the abovementioned other package.<br>
<code>pp4slide.sty</code> is just meant as an example
and <b>not recommended</b> for general use. There are
some strange effects caused by the somewhat unsupported
coloring options in <code>foils.cls</code>.
</li>
<li>The complete post processor software in <a
href="pp4p.jar"><code>pp4p.jar</code></a> a jar archive (no
need to unpack it!) version 0.9.4 (prepared 13 Nov 2002,
285312 bytes).<br>
Depending on your operating system you need a batch file or
script to call the post processor. These scripts require some
customization to make sure they find the jar file.
<ul>
<li>for Unix: a shell script <a
href="ppower4"><code>ppower4</code></a> to run the software
under Unix. It needs to be modified to know the
location of your copy of the <code>pp4p.jar</code>
file.
</li>
<li>for Windows: a batch file <a
href="ppower4.bat"><code>ppower4.bat</code></a> to run the
software under Win32. It also needs to be modified
to know the location of your copy of the
<code>pp4p.jar</code> file and the Java runtime
environment.<br>
Thanks to <a href="mailto:cdeclercq@nordnet.fr">Christophe
Declercq</a> for providing this.
</li>
<li>for Mac: There is an <a
href="pp4-macosx.sit.hqx">applescript</a> for easy
usage of ppower4 on Mac OS X to be used with the
TeX distribution by Gerben Wierda (it may be
necessary to update the post processor and the style
files of that distribution). Thanks to <a
href="mailto:sneep@nat.vu.nl">Maarten Sneep</a> for
this contribution!
</li>
</ul>
If someone can supply a script for other
environments and is willing to share it, I can
include it here.
</li>
</ul>
Additional items:
<ul>
<li>the sources of the examples (in <a href="exampled.zip">German</a> or
<a href="examplee.zip">English</a>, both zip archives)
given in the <a href="features.html">report</a>.
</li>
<li>the sources of the demonstration documents (finally) which
should work with <code>latex</code> followed by
<code>dvipdfm</code>, with <code>pdflatex</code> and
with <code>vlatex</code>:
<ul>
<li><a href="demo.zip"><code>demo.zip</code></a> and <a
href="edemo.zip"><code>edemo.zip</code></a> have the files
for the initial demo documents in German and English
respectively.
</li>
<li><a href="extension.tex"><code>extension.tex</code></a>
can be used to create the extensions demo (only in English).
</li>
<li><a href="leveldemo.zip"><code>leveldemo.zip</code></a>
has all files for <a
href="levelo.pdf"><code>levelo.pdf</code></a>
from the features page.
</li>
</ul>
Note: 1. To process these sources you need to have the packages
<code>ifvtex</code> and <code>ifpdf</code> by Heiko Oberdiek
from
<code>CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/supported/oberdiek/</code>.<br>
2. Some of the documents need two initial runs of
<code>pdflatex</code>, <code>vlatex</code> or
<code>latex</code> to be processed properly.<br>
3. These documents are likely not to to work with previous versions
of PPower4.
</li>
<li>
Source material<br>
For those who would like to have a look into the processor and the
PDF library.<br>
If you only want to run the program, you do not need all this.
But to compile the stuff, you have to install first <a
href="http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/"><code>ant</code></a> for
controlling the build and <a
href="http://www.junit.org"><code>JUnit</code></a> for unit
tests.<br>
For now we still need some more time to prepare the sources
to work smoothly outside our development environment. If you
already got <code>ant</code> and <code>JUnit</code>
you can send a mail to request that if you are really
in need of this. I am sorry for this delay.
