+ INSTALLATION NOTES FOR GreekTeX v 3.1
+ -------------------------------------

+
+
+ This document describes how to get GreekTeX up and running
+ on your system. It is devided into two parts: instructions
+ for Unix users and Instructions for DOS emTeX users. I would
+ like to hope that these two categories represent a majority
+ of TeX users and I apologize for not extending specialised
+ instructions to users of other systems. For those of you that do
+ not fall in the two categories do not panic! Read the DOS
+ section and procede with the same steps. Just change the
+ paths and executables to match the ones in your system.
+
+
+Part A: Unix Users
+--------------------------
+
+ What you need:
+ To rebuild the whole GreekTeX package you need to have
+ access to the metafont and initex programs as well
+ as the ability to integrate new fonts and formats
+ to the search path of the local tex distribution.
+ You also need the gftopk utility for transforming
+ mf output to dvi readable form. For automated installation
+ you need a "standard" unix 'make' program, and the
+ 'dc' calculator. If you do not have any of these you
+ will have to do the job by hand. If you do not have
+ the dc calculator you can still build the fonts
+ by altering the script to suit your own needs.
+ You also need to know the resolution of the local
+ printer. Finally you can do with a bit of patience.
+
+ Procedure:
+ The installation procedure follows the steps:
+ * build and install the fonts in the
+ standard path (both pk and tfm files)
+ * build the greek format files for both
+ greekTeX and grlatex.
+ * place the files in the appropriate
+ directory
+ * do a test run to see how it looks!
+
+ How to procede for an automated installation:
+ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+ STEP DESCRIPTION
+ -> 0 Find a suitable place to unpack the file
+ kdgreek3.1.tar.Z. Let us call the subdirectory
+ kdgreek3.1/ where all the files will be the
+ TOP directory.
+ -> 1 First edit the file unix/newfont. If a similar
+ script exists in your system the just forget it
+ and mode to the step 2. In particular set the
+ default paths and executable names to point
+ to the right direction and make sure the file
+ has the execute attribute set.
+ -> 2 Edit the Makefile at the TOP directory to
+ reflect the paths and setting of your own system.
+ It should be easy and straightforward and not many
+ changes should be needed in a standard distribution.
+ -> 3 Make the fonts: at the shell prompt type
+ make fonts
+ This will try to create the greek fonts for all
+ needed magnification levels and place them at
+ their proper place (all the job is done by the
+ newfont script in the unix directory or the
+ newfont script that you set in the makefile).
+ Do not be alarmed if "stange Pos " occur at some
+ fonts and magnifications. The fonts are still in
+ experimental stage and do have problems. If your
+ version of metafont stops at a '?' prompt just
+ hit return to continue.
+ -> 4 You can now build the formats. give the command
+ make formats
+ this will build both greek.fmt and lgreek.fmt in
+ the build subdirectory. Log files will be in the
+ log subiderctory of build.
+ -> 5 Install everything in its proper place by
+ executing the command:
+ make install
+ This will place everything in the proper place
+ and have you ready to go.
+ -> 6 Try the system out: go to the doc doc subdir
+ and type
+ greektex usage
+ then see what happens.
+
+
+Part B: DOS emTeX users
+-------------------------------
+
+ What you need:
+ In order to use GreekTeX on a PC running DOS and emTeX
+ you will need mf and friends to create the fonts (mfjob
+ for automated procedures) plain tex and latex bearing
+ version 3.0 or later (that is the format file not the
+ executable).
+
+ How to procede:
+ Unpack the distribution where convenient. If you got
+ GreekTeX as greektex.zip the use [pk]unzip -d greektex
+ at an apropriate directory. You can delete the unix,
+ utils directories and the makefile since they are
+ intended for unix users.
+
+ -> 1 Copy the file emtex/kdgreek.mfj to the MFJOB path or
+ in the mf directory. cd to the mf directory and
+ give the command mfjob -i kdgreek. If everything goes
+ well you will end up with a new bunch of fonts in
+ the proper directories.
+ -> 2 cd to tex and type
+ tex -i -8 greek \dump
+ This will create the files greek.fmt and greek.log
+ Move greek.fmt to the directory where you normally
+ store the format files (e.g. emtex/btexfmts) and
+ delete the file greek.log after reviewing the messages.
+ -> 3 cd to latex and type
+ tex -i -8 lgreek \dump
+ Repeat the same procedure as in step 2 for copying the
+ lgreek.fmt and removing the lgreek.log file.
+ -> 4 copy the files in the tex, latex directories to the
+ default search path of emtex (e.g. /emtex/inputs)
+ If you will be using a greek ISO character set for
+ modern greek you might also want to copy the files
+ emtex/greek.* to your inputs dir.
+ ->5 Finally move the emtex/*.bat files to the emtex bin
+ directory and you are all set to go.
+ ->6 Test the system by cd to doc and doing
+ greektex usage.tex
+
+ GOOD LUCK
+
+Please send comments and bug reports to kd@doc.ic.ac.uk
+
+DISCLAIMER:
+ Although I have put much effort in eliminating bugs, the
+ greekTeX package is still in experimental phase. If you
+ decide to use the package please do not blame me for any
+ problems that may arise from its use. I cannot be held
+ responsible for any problems and I cannot gurantee
+ bug fixes (although I guarantee that in due time I will
+ look over all reports and suggestions).
