+.SH NAME
+TeXsis \- TeX macros for Physicists
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B texsis
+[ filename ]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B TeXsis
+is a collection of
+.B TeX
+macros for typesetting physics documents such as papers and preprints,
+conference proceedings, books, theses, referee reports, letters, and
+memos.
+.B TeXsis
+macros provide automatic numbering of equations, automatic
+numbering and formatting of references, double column formatting, macros
+for making tables and figures, with or without captions, including
+tables with horizontal and vertical rules.
+.B TeXsis
+supports a wide variety of type sizes and a number of
+specialized document formats, and it even includes macros for making
+form letters for job applications or letters of recommendation.
+.PP
+TeXsis is an extension of "plain" TeX, so anything you know how to do
+in plain TeX you can do in TeXsis.
+TeXsis macro instructions are simply abbreviations for often used
+combinations of control sequences used to typeset physics documents.
+For more information about plain TeX see the man pages for
+.BR tex (1),
+and/or
+.I The TeXbook,
+by D.E. Knuth.
+.PP
+TeXsis is stored as a pre-loaded format so that it loads quickly (see
+the man pages for
+.BR initex (1),
+and/or "preloaded formats" in
+.I The TeXbook
+).
+To run TeXsis simply give the command
+.B texsis
+in place of the
+.B tex
+command, i.e.
+.br
+.sp
+.in +2
+.B texsis
+[ filename ]
+.in -2
+.br
+.sp
+where
+.I filename.tex
+is the name of a file containing TeX and/or TeXsis
+\\controlsequences.
+.PP
+TeXsis is initally in plain TeX mode, i.e. 10pt type and singlespaced,
+but the control sequence \\texsis selects 12pt type, doublespacing,
+and enables other useful features.
+Alternatively, \\paper turns on these features and sets things up to
+typeset a paper, \\thesis does the same for typesetting a thesis,
+\\letter is used to produce a letter using macros similar to those
+listed in the back of
+.I The TeXbook,
+\\memo gives a setup for producing memoranda, and so on.
+.PP
+A manual which describes all of the TeXsis macro instructions is
+available.
+It is written in TeXsis, so it serves as its own example of how to
+write a document with TeXsis.
+The source code is also heavily commented, so it is possible to
+extract useful macros from the source code and modify them to suit
+your own purposes.
+Provisions are made for local customization of TeXsis.
+In particular, the file
+.I TXSmods.tex,
+if it exists, is read from the current directory or from the path
+.B TEXINPUTS
+whenever TeXsis is started.
+You can therefore put your own custom macros for a given project in a
+directory and they will automatically be loaded when TeXsis is run
+from that directory.
+
+.SH INSTALLATION
+There is an appendix to the printed manual containing detailed
+installation instructions, but they are also provided in a form which
+can be processed by plain TeX, in the file
+.I Install.tex.
+
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+TeXsis informational messages are written to the terminal and the log
+file begining with `% '.
+Warning and error messages begin with `> '.
+
+.SH FILES
+The source files for TeXsis and the TeXsis manual are usually installed
+in the same place the rest of TeX is kept.
+Although this may vary from intallation to installation, it will
+generally include a root directory named
+.I texmf.
+Common examples are
+.I /usr/share/texmf/,
+.I /usr/lib/teTeX/texmf,
+or
+.I /usr/local/lib/texmf.
+Filenames here are relative to this
+.I texmf
+root directory.
+.br
+.TP 2.5i
+.I web2c/texsis.fmt
+TeXsis pre-loaded format.
+.TP
+.I tex/texsis/TXS*.tex
+TeXsis source code.
+.TP
+.I tex/texsis/*.txs
+"Style" files which can be read in at run time for special document
+formats.
+.TP
+.I doc/texsis/TXS*.doc
+Source for the printed TeXsis manual (written in TeXsis).
+.TP
+.I tex/texsis/TXSsite.tex
+Local site customization instructions
+(this is read only once, when the format file is created).
+.TP
+.I tex/texsis/TXSpatch.tex
+Run time patch file (like a system TeXsis.rc file, it is read
+every time TeXsis is run).
+.TP
+.I TXSmods.tex
+Run time init file (this is read every time TeXsis is run from the
+current directory, or from the search path in
+.B TEXINPUTS
+).
+
+.SH RESTRICTIONS
+Please note that TeXsis is designed to be completely compatible with
+plain TeX.
+As a result it cannot be compatible with LaTeX.
+.PP
+Having the full manual written in TeXsis can cause a problem if you
+don't have a version of TeXsis already running.
+To get around this you can run
+.I Manual.tex
+through plain TeX and it will load the TeXsis files before processing
+the manual.
+This takes longer, but not by much.
+
+
+.SH BUGS
+Please report bugs (or suggestions for improvements) to
+texsis@feynman.physics.lsa.umich.edu.
+.PP
+Patchs to correct small problems or make small improvements
+are available at
+
+ ftp://feynman.physics.lsa.umich.edu/texsis/
+
+in the file
+.I TXSpatch.tex
+(If that file doesn't exist then there are no current patches.)
