- LaTeX installation instructions for Lindner-TeX (Atari)
-
- 1995 June 25
-
-SUMMARY
-=======
-
-This file contains instructions on how to install LaTeX for
-Lindner-TeX. Before reading this file, you should read
-install.txt, which will explain how the LaTeX installation works.
-
-This file describes:
-
- * How to save any old version of LaTeX.
-
- * How to configure LaTeX.
-
- * How to unpack the LaTeX distribution.
-
- * How to create the LaTeX format.
-
- * How to install the LaTeX files.
-
- * What to do if you have any problems.
-
-
-REQUIREMENTS
-============
-
-In addition to the LaTeX distribution files, you will also need the
-following:
-
- * the file `hyphen.tex', or some other hyphenation files (see `Creating
- the LaTeX Format', below); we recommend to use the `babel' system by
- Johannes Braams, which can be found probably where you got your copy
- of LaTeX, e.g. the CTAN archive ftp-servers;
-
- * the font files (normally .tfm files) for the Computer Modern fonts,
- including some non-standard ones (see `Fonts needed', below).
-
-
-SAVING ANY OLD VERSION OF LaTeX
-===============================
-
- If you are currently using the old LaTeX version, 2.09, you may wish
- to save it before installing the new version of LaTeX.
-
-
- If you want to use the new LaTeX2e, which is also the new standard, instead
- of your old version, you can delete all files in your /texinput/stdinput
- directory, except for the two plain TeX format files named PLAIN.FMT and
- PLAING.FMT, which can usually be found in the directory /texinput/formats.
- If you want to keep the old 2.09 version of LaTeX, move all the input files
- to a directory named (e.g.) stdinput.209 and create a new directory
- stdinput.2e for the new files.
-
-
-CONFIGURING LATEX
-=================
-
- LaTeX2e uses more memory than the former versions. To use it, you need an
- ATARI ST/TT/Falcon with at least 2Mb of RAM, so that you can use the BigTeX
- version of Lindner-TeX. The files are available on the CTAN archive servers
- in the directory tex/systems/atari/lindner-tex-packed-disks.
-
- No specially adapted TEXSYS.CFG file is needed for the Lindner
-implementation
- of TeX. If you want to configure your system, you should edit the TEXSETUP
- file with your favourite ASCII editor. This file contents the main
-in-/output
- paths for the system. CAUTION: Some paths are saved directly to the code of
- the TEXSHELL.PRG. These can be edited from the shell only!
-
- VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE: If you want to use the Lindner-TeX-System in a multi-
- tasking environment like MagiC or MTOS, you should rename TEXSHELL.PRG to
- TEXSHELL.TOS (unless your Desktop allows to determine the type of executa-
- bles to certain types, like e.g. GEMINI). This will cause the TEXSHELL to
-re-
- direct all output to the VT52-Window, so the .TTP executables will not write
- directly to the screen.
-
-
-UNPACKING THE DISTRIBUTION
-==========================
-
- To unpack the distribution, run INITEX on the file unpack.ins. (If you can,
- get the already unpacked distribution from CTAN, because the unpacking
- might take an awfully long time on an 8Mhz ST).
-
-
-CREATING THE LaTeX FORMAT
-=========================
-
- To create the new LaTeX format, you have to run IniTeX on the file
- latex.ltx. Make sure, that this file (and the hyphenation files) are in
- a directory searched by TeX. To configure the hyphenation read the file
- TEXPERT.TEX. A new LaTeX format named LATEX.BFM will be created and dumped
- to the directory where your other formats already are (environment variable
- DUMPPATH in the TEXSETUP file). There is no need to rename this file to
- LATEX.FMT. To install the new format file in the TEXSHELL.PRG, doubleclick
- into the lower field of the formats section in the TeX-window, choose
- LATEX.BFM in the file selector, ignore the error message about the file ex-
- tensions and save the TEXSHELL options.
-
-
-PUTTING THE FILES WHERE LaTeX CAN READ THEM
-===========================================
-
- We suggest the following configuration for your /stdinput.2e directory:
- - create a new folder CLASSES and copy all *.CLS and *.CLO files into it;
- - copy all *.STY files to a new folder PACKAGES;
- - copy all *.FD and *.ENC files to a new folder FONTDEFS;
- - copy all other files to a folder OTHERS.
-
- You might delete all *.DTX, *.INS and *.TXT files (after reading or
- processing them to get the documentations) in order to save disk space. Note
- that the *.DTX files can be processed by the new LaTeX version only.
-CAUTION:
- you should, of course, keep a backup copy of all these files somewhere so
-you
- can can reinstall them if necessary.
-
-
-GETTING A WORKING LaTeX
-=======================
-
- All you have to do now is writing the new paths to the TEXSETUP file so
- that TeX can find the files when running.
-
-
-CHECKING THAT THE INSTALLATION WORKED
-=====================================
-
- To check the installation select LTXCHECK.LTX in the TeXShell and run the
- new LaTeX on it. Make sure that you copy LTXCHECK.LTX to the document input
- directory, usually /texinput/document, before you proceed it. It's going to
- produce some `OK' messages, and perhaps some `BAD' warnings.
-
-
-PROBLEMS
-========
-
- If any problems occur, check the LindnerTeX users guide. Note that you need
- some special fonts to process the XXXGUIDE.TEX files that come with the
- LaTeX distribution. These fonts are available on CTAN also. If you use a
- previewer like ASCREEN v3.2 or DVI v2.3x the missing fonts will be substi-
- tuted and can be produced with METAFONT later.
-
- If you have any other problems with the LaTeX installation, see the
- `PROBLEMS' section in install.txt.
-

-CLEARING UP
-===========
-
- See section `PUTTING FILES...' for details.
