If you want to store config.ps or +psfonts.map in a different place, either recompile dvips or use the +environment variable TEXCONFIG. + +The LaTeX and TeX input files supplied with dvips (e.g. epsf.sty, epsf.tex) +are now put in c:\emtex\texinput\dvips and not in their old location +c:\emtex\texinput. This means that you need emTeX beta 11 and you will +need to enable emTeX's subdirectory searching with +set TEXINPUT=c:\emtex\texinput! + +The MSDOS and OS/2 versions of dvips differ from the Unix version +described in dvips.tex in the following ways: +- path separators are ';' not ':' +- directory separators are '\' not '/' +- The user's initialization file is "dvips.ini" not ".dvipsrc". +- Printer configuration files are called <printer-name>.cfg, + not config.<printer-name>. +- Pipes to printers are not supported by MS-DOS. Output must go to a file. + OS/2 supports pipes. +- MakeTeXPk is a batch or command file. + Since MS-DOS has insufficient memory to run both dvips and metafont + at the same time, this batch or command file will typically write out + a set of commands for running metafont later. + The maketexp.bat supplied writes out an mfjob file for em\TeX. + OS/2 has more memory so the maketexp.cmd supplied writes out an + mfjob file for emTeX and calls mfjob. + The emTeX betatest mfjob 1.1l package is required. +- To automatically make fonts under MS-DOS, use emTeX's dvidrv as follows: + dvidrv dvips file.dvi + dvidrv is part of the emTeX betatest dvidrv 1.4s package. + dvidrv sets an option -pj=mfjobfile for dvips, where mfjobfile + is the name of a temporary mfjob file. + If there are missing fonts, dvips will write this mfjob file + and then ask: + Exit to make missing fonts now (y/n)? + If you answer yes, dvips exits with errorlevel 8 which tells + dvidrv to call mfjob to make the fonts, and then to call dvips again. + For this to work, dvidrv, dvips, mfjob and mf must be located in + the PATH, and the environment variables for mfjob and mf set + correctly. A font mode must be set with the 'M' option in config.ps. + If the -pj option is set, dvips will not call MakeTeXPk.bat +- limited emTeX specials. The following ones are supported: + \special{em:message xxx} + \special{em:point n} + \special{em:line a[h|v|p],b[h|v|p] [,width]} + \special{em:linewidth width} + \special{em:moveto} + \special{em:lineto} + \special{em:graph xxx[,width[,height]]} + The line cut parameters [h|v|p] of the \special{em:line ...} command + are ignored. Lines are ended with a rounded cap. + A maximum of 1613 different point numbers are permitted on each page. + The \special{em:graph xxx} should work with PCX, MSP1, MSP2 and + BMP files. Compressed BMP files have not been tested. + The graph file may be scaled by giving an optional width and + height (expressed in the same way as TeX dimensions). + An example: \special{em:graph scrdump.pcx,100mm,75mm} + +The program dvips can use emTeX font libraries created with the +fontlib /2 option. PXL fonts within font libraries will be ignored. + +If you run out of memory running dvips, try using the `-Z0 -a' or +just the `-a' command line options. If that fails, use the 32 bit +version. + +===== +Files +===== +This set of MSDOS and OS/2 files for dvips contains: +README.pc This file. +makefile.tc Makefile for Borland C++ (MS-DOS). +makefile.emx Makefile for nmake/ndmake and emx/gcc (OS/2 and MS-DOS). +makefile.msc Makefile for dmake and MSC6 (OS/2). +makefile.wat Makefile for Watcom C (untested) +makefile.wt2 Makefile for Watcom C (untested) +config.ps config.ps modified for MSDOS and OS/2 +maketexp.bat Batch file to make tex pk files. +maketexp.cmd OS/2 batch file to make tex pk files. +winmain.c WinMain() routine for Windows dvips. +dvipswin.rc Windows Resource file containing radical eye icon. +dvipswin.def Windows defaults file. +afm2tfm.def OS/2 16 bit defaults file. +dvips16.def OS/2 16 bit defaults file. +squeeze.def OS/2 16 bit defaults file. + +========= +Compiling +========= +If you have the Unix tar file, the steps involved in making +dvips on a PC are: +- On Unix, in the dvips directory, give the following commands: + make texc.lpro + nroff -man dvips.1 > pc/dvips.doc + nroff -man afm2tfm.1 > pc/afm2tfm.doc +- Copy dvips/* and dvips/pc/* directories to the PC. +- copy PStfms/*.tfm to C:\EMTEX\TFM on the PC + (then optionally delete pst*.tfm, rpst*.tfm, pop*.tfm rpop*.tfm, + pad*.tfm rpad*.tfm) +- copy PSvfs/*.vf to C:\TEXFONTS\VF on the PC + (then optionally delete pst*.vf, pop*.vf, pad*.vf) +- edit dvipsmac.tex and replace the line + \generictrue + with + %\generictrue + +For Borland C++: +- edit paths and directories in pc/makefile.tc and pc/config.ps. +- 'make -fpc/makefile.tc' + Borland C++ gives a large number of 'possible incorrect assignment' + warnings. +- if that works, try 'make -fpc/makefile.tc install'. +- change to another directory (to avoid using the Unix config.ps) + and then try to run dvips! + +For emx/gcc: +- edit paths and directories in pc/makefile.emx and pc/config.ps. +- If using HPFS, type 'nmake -fpc\makefile.emx fixup' +- If using ndmake under msdos, PKPATH will need to be changed to + using single % not %%. +- 'nmake -f pc\makefile.emx' +- if that works, try 'nmake -f pc\makefile.emx install'. +- change to another directory (to avoid using the Unix config.ps) + and then try to run dvips32! +- dvips32.exe will run under OS/2 and MSDOS. +- See the EMX documentation for the EMX DOS extender. |
