+LaTeX installation guide for MiKTeX
+
+3 March 1998
+
+SUMMARY
+=========
+
+This file contains instructions how to install LaTeX for
+MiKTeX for Windows95 and WindowsNT
+Before reading this text, please have a look at the file
+install.txt, which explains the LaTeX installation.
+
+This guide assumes you are using the current MiKTeX release
+with it's standard directory setup. If your system's setup
+is different from the MiKTeX standard, we hope you are
+familiar enough with your system to deviate from these
+instructions where it's necessary.
+
+We also assume the use of a shell/editor (e.g. WinEdt)
+which you can use for starting different latex-related
+programs
+
+
+This file describes:
+
+* how to prepare the LaTeX installation
+
+* how to unpack the LaTeX distribution.
+
+* how to install the LaTeX files.
+
+* how to create the LaTeX format file.
+
+
+PREPARING THE INSTALLATION
+==========================
+
+Move (do not copy!) the complete directory BASE from
+C:\TEXMF\TEX\LATEX\BASE to somewhere out of C:\TEXMF
+
+Create a new folder in the root-directory of your hard disc,
+e.g. C:\UPDATE
+
+Copy the file BASE.ZIP from floppy into this directory
+(in case of FTP transfer save it directly in there)
+
+Double-click on BASE.ZIP and WinZip will start automatically.
+Choose EXTRACT and select C:\TEXMF\TEX\LATEX\ as
+extracting-directory
+
+
+UNPACKING THE DISTRIBUTION
+==========================
+
+Start your editor and load C:\TEXMF\TEX\LATEX\BASE\UNPACK.INS
+
+Start IniTeX (in case IniTeX isn't installed properly in your
+editor, try http://www.gap.baynet.de/members/werdenfels.gym/tex/)
+
+[Alternative way:
+
+Open DOS-box, change prompt to C:\TEXMF\TEX\LATEX\BASE\
+and type: INITEX UNPACK.INS (--> press RETURN)]
+
+Delete the file TEXSYS.CFG in C:\TEXMF\TEX\LATEX\BASE\
+
+Move the folder LOCAL from the removed BASE-directory
+into your new BASE-directory
+
+Delete (or rename if you're anxious) the file LATEX.LTX
+in the old BASE-directory. Instead you can also delete
+the entire old BASE-directory
+
+
+PUTTING THE UNPACKED FILES TO WHERE LATEX FINDS THEM
+=====================================================
+
+(not really necessary)
+
+You can move the files not needed for LaTeX-processes
+into C:\TEXMF\DOCS\GENERAL\LATEX.
+These are all the files not fitting to following rules:
+
+latexbug.tex testpage.tex docstrip.tex
+
+and all files having the extensions
+
+*.cls *.clo *.sty *.fd *.def *.cfg
+
+
+(also not necessary)
+
+If you make use of the Makeindex program, move the *.ist files
+into the Makeindex input directory, usually
+C:\TEXMF\MAKEINDEX\BASE\
+
+
+CREATING THE LATEX FORMAT FILE
+==============================
+
+push START (at the TASKBAR) --> choose RUN... -->
+type: MAKETEXFMT LATEX (--> press RETURN)
+
+push START (at the TASKBAR) --> choose RUN... -->
+type: C:\TEXMF\MIKTX\CONFIG\CONFIGURE --update-fndb
+(--> press RETURN)
+
+
+HINTS AND TIPS
+==============
+
+Running IniTeX, MiKTeX will complain about updating the
+font-name-database. Don't worry --- will be completed
+after the installation.
+
+To check whether the latex installation works properly,
+run LaTeX on the file LTXCHECK.LTX. A number of `OK'
+messages should be produced. If it produces any warnings,
+please consult the `problems' section of the file install.txt.
+
+
+MEMORY PROBLEMS
+===============
+
+no problems known
