ABOUT OS2TeX
OS2TeX is a distribution of Donald E. Knuth's typesetting system TeX
for the IBM operating system OS/2 Warp.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT ARE THE FEATURES OF OS2TeX?
- An installation program installs and configures the whole system
- User interface (shell) is supporting every step to create and work
on TeX documents
- Automatic creation of the needed fonts for every output device
controlled by an OS/2 printer driver.
- OS2TeX is based on the client-server architecture. Caused by this
the consistency of the fonts is guaranteed, even if several DVI
drivers are active at the same time.
- Tool for the driver independent integration of graphics into TeX
documents by the transformation of graphics to fonts. The graphics
can be scaled to several resolutions. Therefore it is possible to
print documents with graphcis on printers with different
resolutions, e.g. 300 dpi and 360 dpi.
- OS2TeX is built up multi-threaded, including modern techniques of
process synchronisation, therefore serveral steps can be done at
the same time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
- OS/2 Warp V3, OS/2 Warp V4 fixpack 1 and higher.
- HPFS filesystem.
- 30 MB of free disk space.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO INSTALL OS2TeX?
1. Unzip file os2tex.zip:
unzip os2tex.zip
You'll get 8 files:
os2tex.ger
os2tex.eng
disk1.zip
disk2.zip
disk3.zip
disk4.zip
disk5.zip
disk6.zip
2.1. Create a temporary directorie on hard disk:
md temp
2.2 Change into that directory:
cd temp
2.3 Unzip disk1.zip through disk4.zip:
unzip -o disk1.zip
unzip -o disk2.zip
unzip -o disk3.zip
unzip -o disk4.zip
unzip -o disk5.zip
unzip -o disk6.zip
2.4 Start the installation program and follow the instructions:
install.exe
---------------------------------------------------------------------
THE FIRST STEP AFTER INSTALLING OS2TEX
As mentioned above, OS2TeX is based on the client-server
architecture. A DVI previewer will try to establish a connection
to a font server for retrieving fonts that are part of your TeX
document. Therefore it is necessary to start the font server
before starting any DVI viewer. This is done through an icon
"metafont server", you will find within the OS/2-TeX folder.
If you forget to start the metafont server, any requests on fonts
will fail!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ENGLISH SPEAKING USERS
The English translation is not quite complete. All menus and dialogs
are written in English, but not the help files. A version including
all help files written in English is planned in 1998.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
