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. |
