+LaTeX installation instructions for emTeX
+
+31 December 1997
+
+SUMMARY
+=======
+
+This file contains instructions on how to install LaTeX for emTeX on
+DOS; users of emTeX on OS/2 have to make the standard small
+changes, e. g. using `.cmd' instead of `.bat'.
+
+Before reading this file, you should read install.txt, which explains
+how the LaTeX installation works.
+
+These instructions assume you are using the current release of the
+emTeX distribution with its standard directory setup. 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.
