To find out how to -contact Personal TeX, see the end of this file.) - -This file contains instructions on how to install LaTeX2e for PCTeX -(either PCTeX for Windows or MS-DOS) from Personal TeX, Inc. - -Before reading this file, you should read `install.txt', which will explain -how the LaTeX2e installation works. - -This file describes: - - * How to save any old version of LaTeX. - - * How to unpack the LaTeX distribution. - - * How to configure LaTeX. - - * How to create the LaTeX format. - - * How to check the LaTeX installation. - - * What to do if you have any problems. - - -SAVING ANY OLD VERSION OF LaTeX -=============================== - -The installation of LaTeX2e is designed to *preserve* the existing LaTeX 2.09 -files. Two versions of LaTeX should be able to coexist on the same computer. -LaTeX 2.09 will typically still stay in the `<drive>:\pctex\latex' -subdirectory, and LaTeX2e will be installed into `<drive>:\pctex\latex2e'. -Later, when you feel comfortable switching completely to LaTeX2e, you can -delete the `<drive>:\pctex\latex' subdirectory to save hard disk space. - -The format file for LaTeX 2.09 is named `lplain.fmt', residing in either -the `<drive>:\pctex\texfmts' or `<drive>:\pctex\texfmts.386' subdirectory. -The format file for LaTeX2e will have the name `latex.fmt', so it will not -write over your existing lplain.fmt file. - - -UNPACKING THE DISTRIBUTION -========================== - -These instructions assume you have already installed PCTeX for Windows or -PCTeX for MS-DOS. - -It is recommended that you create a new subdirectory `<drive>:\pctex\latex2e' -in which to put the LaTeX2e distribution files. IMPORTANT: Do NOT mix the -LaTeX2e files with your existing LaTeX 2.09 files. To create the `\latex2e' -subdirectory, enter at the DOS prompt: - - md <drive>:\pctex\latex2e - -Then change to the `<drive>:\pctex\latex2e' subdirectory and copy the LaTeX2e -distribution files into it. - -You will also need a file with hyphenation patterns. You can copy the one -in your `<drive>:\pctex\texinput' subdirectory. To do this, enter: - - copy <drive>:\pctex\texinput\hyphen.tex <drive>:\pctex\latex2e\. - -Then you need to unpack the LaTeX2e distribution files using Big PCTeX/386. -From within the <drive>:\pctex\latex2e subdirectory, at the DOS prompt, -enter: - - tex386b unpack.ins /i - -If you do not have Big PCTeX/386, you may use PCTeX (tex.exe) or PCTeX/386 -(tex386.exe), but these versions will take much longer to unpack the file. -If you use PCTeX, substitute `tex386b' with `tex' in the line above. If you -use PCTeX/386, substitute `tex386b' with `tex386'. Note: You may want to -consider upgrading to Big PCTeX/386 if you plan on using LaTeX2e. - -CONFIGURING LATEX -================= - -After unpacking the `unpack.ins' file, you will need to modify the system -configuration file, `texsys.cfg', which is used to tell LaTeX2e where to -find input and .tfm files. - -To modify this file, use a text editor to open the file. As you will -find out, by default, all the lines in the file are commented out. - -(1) Search for the text string `\subsection{MSDOS (other)}'. - -(2) Replace `(other)' with `(PCTeX)'. - -(3) A few lines below this, look for the following lines: - - % \def\@currdir{./} - % \def\input@path{% - % {c:/tex/inputs/distrib/}% - % {c:/tex/inputs/contrib/}% - % {c:/tex/inputs/local/}% - % } - -(4) Uncomment these lines by deleting the `%' signs at the beginning of each -one. Then make the modifications as shown below. After modification, these -lines should look like the following: - - \def\@currdir{./} - \def\input@path{% - {c:/pctex/latex2e/}% - {c:/pctex/texinput/}% - {c:/pctex/amstex/}% - } - -IMPORTANT: Do NOT delete the `%' sign in front of `\begin{macrocode}' -and `\end{macrocode}'. - -(5) Now save the changes you have made to `texsys.cfg'. - -IMPORTANT: If you have installed PCTeX on a hard drive other than C:, please -modify the paths in the `texsys.cfg' accordingly. - -CREATING THE LaTeX FORMAT -========================= - -PCTeX for Windows: - -If you are using PCTeX for Windows, you can run INITeX and assign the -LaTeX2e format file to one of the two custom format Toolbar icons, `FMT1' or -`FMT2'. Follow the 3 steps below to do this: - -(1) Copy the file `latex.ltx' to `latex.tex'. - -(2) Then run PCTeX for Windows. Select `Typeset' and `INITeX'. - -(3) In the `INITeX' dialog box, check `Format1' or `Format2'. -Under `Macro file name', enter `latex'; in `Path to input files', enter -`<drive>:\pctex\latex2e'; in `Path to tfm files', you can keep the default -paths. Then click `OK' to create the LaTeX2e format file. - -PCTeX for MS-DOS: - -If you are using PCTeX for MS-DOS, you can create the LaTeX2e format -file by entering the following at the DOS prompt from your \pctex directory: - -tex386b latex.ltx "\dump" /i /pi=c:\pctex\latex2e;c: /pt=c:\pctex\amstfms;c: - -If you are using PCTeX (tex.exe), replace `tex386b' with `tex'. -If you are using PCTeX/386 (tex386.exe), replace `tex386b' with `tex386'. - -CHECKING THAT THE INSTALLATION WORKED -===================================== - -To check that the LaTeX2e installation worked correctly, copy the file -`ltxcheck.tex' from your `\pctex\latex2e' subdirectory into another -directory, for example `<drive>:\temp'. Then from within this directory, -follow the instructions below: - -If you are using PCTeX for Windows, run LaTeX2e on `ltxcheck.tex' by clicking -on the `FMT1' or `FMT2' Toolbar icon, depending on which one you assigned to -LaTeX2e. - -If you are using PCTeX for MS-DOS, enter the following at the DOS prompt: - - tex386b &latex ltxcheck.tex - -After this, you may wish to typeset `usrguide.tex' with LaTeX2e and print -the result. This file documents many of the new commands available in -LaTeX2e. (Remember to typeset the file twice.) - -PROBLEMS -======== - -The names of the basic files in LaTeX2e have been changed since the beta -version. For example, `unpack.ins' is now used instead of `unpack2e.ins'. -For creating the LaTeX2e format file, `latex.ltx' rather than `latex2e.ltx' -is now used. Be sure to use these new file names when unpacking files or -creating the format file. - -If you have other problems with the LaTeX installation, see the `PROBLEMS' -section in `install.txt'. - -If `ltxcheck' produces a `BAD' message, you will typically be able to -figure out from the message what is wrong. If it is not obvious what -caused the `BAD' message, then please consult the section on `ltxcheck' -in `texpert.txt'. - -If you have any problem not resolved by the above, please contact -Personal TeX technical support at: - -pti@crl.com (email) -(415)388-8865 (fax) -(415)388-8853 (voice) - -Personal TeX, Inc. -12 Madrona Street -Mill Valley, CA 94941 - ---- Copyright 1994 (c) Personal TeX, Inc. and the LaTeX3 project --- ---- All rights reserved. --- |
