If your systems +setup is different from the emTeX standard, we hope you are familiar +enough with your system to deviate from these instructions where +necessary. + + +This file describes: + +* How to unpack the LaTeX distribution. + +* How to install the LaTeX files. + +* How to create the LaTeX format file. + + +UNPACKING THE DISTRIBUTION +========================== + +To unpack the LaTeX distribution, change to a directory created for +installation use +(e. g. c:\install, c:\latexnew). + +Run iniTeX on the file unpack.ins, which - using emTeX - means to +use the /i option. So at the command line type: + +tex /i unpack.ins +or (if you use big versions like tex386.exe) +tex386 /i unpack.ins + +PUTTING THE UNPACKED FILES TO WHERE LATEX FINDS THEM +==================================================== + +Move the unpacked files to a directory, where LaTeX can find them, +which in the standard emTeX directory structure is + +emTeX\texinput\latex2e + +The files to be moved are + +latexbug.tex testpage.tex docstrip.tex + +and all files with the extensions + +*.cls *.clo *.sty *.fd *.def *.cfg + +If you use the Makeindex program, move the *.ist files to the makeindex +input directory, usually emtex\idxstyle. + + +CREATING THE LATEX FORMAT FILE +============================== + +To create the LaTeX format file, change to the directory +emtex\texfmts +or +emtex\btexfmts (respectively) + +and run iniTeX, e. g. + +tex /i +or +tex386 /i (respectively) + +on the file latex.ltx to create the format file latex.fmt. + + +HINTS AND TIPS +============== + +To ease creation of a format file, the emTeX distribution now +contains the program makefmt. Please, refer to the emTeX +distribution documentation for information about how to +use makefmt. + +To check, if the latex installation works, run laTeX on the +file ltxcheck.tex. This should produce a number of `OK' messages. +If it produces any warnings, please consult the `problems' +section of the file install.txt. + + +MEMORY PROBLEMS +=============== + +If you still use an old release of emTeX or a PC with a CPU lower than 80386, +you will have to increase the part of memory known as `string characters' or +as `pool size'. + +Set it to its maximum value by using the option + +/mp:65550 + +either on the command line or in the EMTEXOPT variable. + +You may be able to compensate this increase by reducing the +amount of memory needed for `font info', using the option + +/mf: '. + +When using several packages, or when processing complex documents, +especially when they contain lots of cross references, citations etc., +you may run out of the part of memory known as `multiletter +control sequences' or as `hash table'. + +The only real cure for this problem is to get a recent version of emTeX. + +---Contributed by: Heinz Kusznier <kusznier@ping.at> +---Copyright 1997 by Heinz Kusznier and the LaTeX3 project--- +--- All rights reserved --- |
