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. - - -GETTING IN TOUCH WITH THE AUTHOR -================================ - - If you have any problems, comments or proposals for changes or extensions to - this text, you can send your questions to the author by email. - The probably best address to use is Thomas_Cloer@s4.maus.de (only mails - <16kb). You can also try tcloer@tyrell.s.bawue.de or tcloer1@gwdg.de. - - - - ---- Copyright 1995 Thomas Cloer and the LaTeX3 project --- ---- All rights reserved. --- |
