- LaTeX installation instructions for PasTeX
-
- 9 July 1996
-
-
-SUMMARY
-=======
-
-This file contains instructions on how to install LaTeX for
-PasTeX on the Amiga. 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.
- (You can skip this part if you`re new to this.)
-
- * 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.
-
-
-
-PRELIMINARIES
-=============
-
-Most of the installation procedure is concerned with creating a so
-called format file. This file contains essentially all the macros
-that make up the LaTeX package in a format that can be read in very
-quickly by virtex.
-
-This guide assumes that you have an unmodified installation of PasTeX
-release 1.3 or higher. If you have made any changes you should be able
-to figure out yourself where to deviate from this introduction.
-
-If you are using PasTeX 1.3 you should install the binaries from
-TeX:Bigbin to TeX:bin now. The normal binaries cannot be used with
-LaTeX2e. Alternatively you might want to install PasTeX release 1.4.
-A "light" version is available on aminet as text/tex/pt14l.lha,
-the full release is on the Meeting Pearls III CD-ROM.
-As of writing (July 1996), the CD is online at
-<URL:ftp://ftp.rz.uni-wuerzburg.de/pub/amiga/mpearls3/index.html>.
-
-First of all move all of the files that accompanied this document to
-a directory that should be outside the TeX: hierarchy. DO NOT copy
-them directly to TeX:macros! Most of the installation will take place
-in this directory. If the installation was successful you can delete
-this directory afterwards.
-
-
-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.
-
-The format file is located in the directory TeX:formats and is named
-something like lplain.fmt or latex.fmt. If the name is latex.fmt you
-should rename it to latex209.fmt. This installation procedure will
-create a new file called latex.fmt that would overwrite the old one.
-
-Now you should save your old style files. Make a subdirectory latex209
-in the directory TeX:macros and copy all files #?.sty from TeX:macros
-into this directory.
-
-If you want use LaTeX 2.09 again for some reason, set the environment
-variable TEXINPUTS with something like
-
-setenv TEXINPUTS .,TeX:macros/latex209,TeX:macros
-
-Make sure that TeX:macros/latex209 comes before TeX:macros so that
-the old style files are used. (The "." refers to the current directory.
-If you omit it, files in the current directory will not be found!)
-Then call LaTeX with "virtex &latex209" (or "virtex &lplain", if that
-was the name of the old format file).
-
-
-CONFIGURING LATEX
-=================
-
-If you have PasTeX release 1.3, you may wish to edit the file
-texsys.cfg to have LaTeX work around some quirks in the version
-of virtex that comes with it. First find out the actual version
-of virtex with the command "version TeX:bin/virtex".
-Then edit the file texsys.cfg and insert a line right at the top
-containing
-
-\def\@TeXversion{3.14}
-
-and, of course, insert your actual version number if it differs.
-This change is however purely cosmetical and only affects the
-format of warning messages.
-
-
-If at some point TeX runs out of memory it will stop with an error
-message.
-You can try and make more memory available to TeX by editing the file
-TeX:config/tex.cnf. Try to figure out which parameter might have caused
-TeX to run out of memory. If the error message said e.g
-"Font <foobar> not loaded: Not enough room left", you should look at
-the parameter fontmax and/or fontmemsize. A good place to start is
-always the pair memmax and memtop. Read the comment in the file for more
-information.
-
-From TeX version 3.0 on you have the possibility to have more than one
-set of hyphenation atterns available in a format file. See the file
-texpert.txt for more details of how this can be achieved.
-
-
-UNPACKING THE DISTRIBUTION
-==========================
-
-Cd to the directory that contains the distribution files. Check if
-there is a file called "latex.ltx". If there is you probably have
-got a distribution that already has been unpacked and can skip this
-part. If there is a problem with a missing file at some point during
-the installation, try unpacking it again anyway.
-
-If latex.ltx does not exist, the command "initex unpack.ins" will
-unpack the distribution. If you have an 68000 based Amiga, now is
-the time to go and make some coffee.
-
-
-CREATING THE LaTeX FORMAT
-=========================
-
-When the unpacking procedure is complete type "initex latex.ltx".
-This will create the format file. When this is finished, copy it to
-TeX:formats. Make sure you do not overwrite an old latex.fmt,
-especially if there have been any problems.
-
-
-PUTTING THE FILES WHERE LaTeX CAN READ THEM
-===========================================
-
-Now you need to install the new style files and everything else LaTeX
-needs. Copy the following files to TeX:macros:
-
- latexbug.tex testpage.tex docstrip.tex lablst.tex
- idx.tex nfssfont.tex small2e.tex sample2e.tex
- #?.cls #?.clo #?.sty #?.fd #?.def #?.cfg
-
-If you have MakeIndex installed, copy #?.ist to the MakeIndex inputs
-directory.
-
-
-CHECKING THAT THE INSTALLATION WORKED
-=====================================
-
-Now you can check if the installation worked. First cd to another
-directory that does not contain any of the distribution files.
-Copy the file ltxcheck.tex here and type "virtex &latex ltxcheck"
-to the shell prompt. TeX will report that it cannot find a syntax
-for the current directory, but that is OK. (If you figure out a way
-to refer to the current directory, like UNIX ./, please tell us.)
-
-It will then check if it can find the file article.cls in the current
-directory and issue an error because it will find the file in
-TeX:macros. This is actually a good sign. Simply press return to the
-question mark.
-
-It will then check for the version of TeX currently installed. If
-you have PasTeX release 1.3, which contained virtex version 3.14,
-there will probably be some ^^Js cluttering up the output.
-
-You can edit texsys.cfg (in the distribution directory) and rebuild
-the format file as suggested by the warning text (see the section on
-configuring LaTeX). PasTeX release 1.4 cures this problem. See the
-`PRELIMINARIES' section for information on availability.
-
-
-PROBLEMS
-========
-
-If there is any problem during installation, read the section on
-configuring LaTeX in this document. Some of the problems that may
-occur are covered there. Carefully reread the rest of the document,
-then read the document install.txt, especially the `PROBLEMS' section.
-
-If none of these can solve your problem, try to get some human help.
