+ 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.
