What that -directory is obviously depends on your operating system and TeX -installation. I personally install `eplain.tex' in a directory -`/usr/local/lib/texmf/tex/plain'. - - If you want, you can also create a format (`.fmt') file for Eplain, -which will eliminate the time spent reading the macro source file with -`\input'. You do this by issuing a sequence of Unix commands something -like this: - - prompt$ touch eplain.aux - prompt$ initex - This is TeX, ... - **&plain eplain - (eplain.tex) - *\dump - ... MESSAGES ... - -You must make sure that `eplain.aux' exists _before_ you run `initex'; -otherwise, warning messages about undefined labels will never be issued. - - You then have to install the resulting `eplain.fmt' in some system -directory or set an environment variable to tell TeX how to find it. I -install the format files in `/usr/local/lib/texmf/ini'; the environment -variable for the Web2C port of TeX to Unix is `TEXFORMATS'. - - Some implementations of TeX (including Web2C) use the name by which -TeX is invoked to determine what format to read. For them, you should -make a link to the `virtex' program named `etex', and then install the -format file with the name `etex.fmt'. This lets users invoke TeX as -`etex' and get the format file read automatically, without having to -say `&eplain'. - - For convenience, the file `etex.tex' in the distribution directory -does `\input eplain' and then `\dump', so that if you replace `eplain' -with `etex' in the example above, the format file will end up with the -right name. - - The `install' target in the `Makefile' does all this properly for -Unix systems and Web2C. You may have to change the pathnames. - - Under emtex, `eaj@acpub.duke.edu' says that - - tex386 -i ^&plain eplain \dump - -produces a format file. - |
