+WinShell Installation
+
+Following these 5 steps will lead to a working LATEX environment.
+
+-> LATEX package
+ First of all, a LATEX package is required. There are two common ones:
+ MiKTeX: http://www.miktex.org/
+ TeXLive: http://www.texlive.org/
+ These packages can also be found at the different TEX communities:
+ ftp://ftp.dante.de/ Germany
+ ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/ England
+ ftp://ctan.tug.org/ USA
+ The LATEX packages are located at: /pub/tex/systems/win32/
+
+-> PostScript viewer
+ To view the PostScript files install PostScript and the GSviewer:
+ http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/index.html
+
+-> PDF viewer
+ There are several possibilities to view the .pdf files, e.g. with
+ Foxit Reader, GSViewer or Adobe Reader:
+ Foxit Reader: http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php
+ GSView: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/index.html
+ Adobe Reader: http://www.adobe.com/
+
+-> SpellChecker
+ For spellchecking download the free sofware ASpell from
+ http://aspell.net/win32/
+ You need the engine, aswell as the dictionary, eg.
+ engine: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/w32/Aspell-0-50-3-3-Setup.exe
+ dictionary: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/w32/Aspell-en-0.50-2-3.exe
+
+-> WinShell
+ WinShell comes as a zip file and as a complete setup program. Only ONE
+ is needed!
+ Zip file: Extract the zip file to the directory of your choice and
+ start WinShell.exe
+ Setup program: The setup program copies all the WinShell files to a
+ specific directory, eg. C:\Program Files\WinShell.
+ Registry entries are made for the .tex and the .wsp files.
+
+ When WinShell starts for the first time, the following files will be
+ created in a directory depending on the OS (Operating System) version
+ you are running:
+ WinShellMacros.bmp
+ WinShellUserTools.bmp
+ WinShell.ini
+ WinShell.macros
+ WinShellDict.txt
+ By default, WinShell tries to find the executable files by searching
+ the registry. The LATEX binary path should be added to the environment
+ variable PATH in the autoexec.bat (depending on the OS version).
+ That is why WinShell should be installed in the last stage of the LATEX
+ installation procedure.
