+Malayalam-TeX installation guide
+
+
+Malayalam-TeX has been installed and tested on MS-DOS with emTeX, Atari-ST with
+CSTeX and various on UNIX machines. A Macintosh version (OzTeX) is forthcoming.
+
+The installation procedures differs on all these machines, so look under the heading
+of your machine.
+
+Included are .PK files intended for use with a CanonCX laserprinter engine (which is the
+engine most 300 DPI laser printers use) If you need different fonts, you will have
+to generate the fonts yourself using METAFONT.
+
+Atari-ST with CSTeX (presuming you use the command line shell gulam)
+
+To install
+ 1. Unpack the archive.
+ 2. Place the *.tfm files in a directory where TeX can find them
+ 3. Place the *.pk files in the directories where the DVI previewer and DVI printer
+ driver can find them.
+ 4. Place the mm.ttp, patc.ttp and the gulam batch files (ending with .G)
+ in a directory your shell can find them (normally C:\bin\)
+ 5. Set the environment variable MMDIR to the path where mm.trs, mm.scr, etc. are.
+ (mmfont\preproc in the distribution)
+ Everything should be in working order now
+To create the .pk fonts
+ 1. Start C_MF
+ 2. Edit the file MM.FTS to include the fonts and magnifications you need
+ 3. Set the input directory to the directory where the Malayalam Metafont sources are
+ 4. Select the output device
+ 5. Create the fonts. (This may take some time)
+ C_MF will automatically place the resulting .PK files in the correct directories.
+
+
+MS-DOS with emTeX
+
+To install
+ 1. Unpack the archive
+ 2. Place the *.TFM files in a directory where TeX can find them
+ 3. Place the *.PK files in the directories where the DVI previewer and DVI printer
+ driver can find them.
+ 4. Place the PATCH.EXE, MM.EXE and the batch files (ending with .BAT)
+ in a directory your path points at (normally C:\DOS\)
+ 5. Set the environment variable MMDIR to the path where MM.TRS, MM.SCR, etc. are.
+ (MMFONT\PREPROC in the distribution)
+ Everything should be in working order now
+To create the *.PK fonts
+ 1. Edit the file MM.JOB to select the files and device you need
+ 2. Run MFJOB with this file.
+
+
+UNIX
+
+To install
+ 1. Unpack the archive. (It may be required to change all names to lowercase
+ if this is not done automatically)
+ 2. Place the *.tfm files in a directory where TeX can find them. (or tell
+ TeX where they are by setting the environment variable TEXFONTS)
+ 3. Place the *.pk fonts in a directory your previewer and printer driver can
+ find them. (or tell TeX where they are by setting the environment variable
+ TEXPKS) For some TeX implementations, it may be required to rename the
+ fonts from *.pk to *.300pk
+ 6. Look in mm.c to find the line saying #define ATARI_ST, change this into
+ #define UNIX
+ 5. Make the preprocessor and the patc program, by saying make in the directory
+ they reside.
+ 6. Make the batch programs (ending in .g) executable, if you wish you may remove
+ the .g extention. (It is only needed for gulam on the Atari)
+ 7. Set the environment variable MMDIR to point at the directory where
+ the .scr and .trs files are (mmfont/preproc in the distribution).
+To create the *.*pk fonts
+ 1. run Metafont, for example to make mm10.300gf
+ type `mf &plain "\mode=hplaser; mag:=1; input mm10"'
+ replace hplaser with your favourite mode
+ 2. Convert the resulting *.*gf file to a *.*pk file
+ type `gftopk mm10.gf mm10.pk'
+ To make all fonts, run the batch file mm.bat. This may take some time.
+To test
+ type `ml mmtable.mm mmtable.tex'
+ type `tex &plain mmtable'
+ Print or view the resulting mmtable.dvi file.
+
+
+Porting
+
+The included source code has been successfully compiled on
+
+* Turbo-C v2.03 for Atari ST.
+* gcc v2.3.1 on HP-UX.
+* Turbo C++ on MS-DOS. (use Huge memory model and word alignment options, increase
+ stack-size)
+
+If it doesn't work right away, things you may need to do include:
+* change options in the Makefile
+* make a project file for Turbo C++ (the one included is for Atari)
+* change the line with
+ #define ATARI_ST
+ in the file mm.c to your system type.
+
+
+
+Good luck
