- LaTeX installation instructions for VTeX 4.x
-
- 1996 June 25
-
-SUMMARY
-=======
-
-This file contains instructions on how to install LaTeX for
-VTeX 4.x. Before reading this file, you may read
-install.txt, which will explain how the LaTeX installation works
-in general.
-
-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.
-
- * Possible problems with versions earlier than 4.2
-
-REQUIREMENTS
-============
-
-In addition to the LaTeX distribution files, you will also need the
-following:
-
- * Standard VTeX distribution files
-
- * Customization files for VTeX fonts
- TEXSYS.CFG LV1CMR.FD
- FONTMATH.CFG LV1CMSS.FD LV1LCMSS.FD
- SFONTS.CFG LV1CMTT.FD LV1LCMTT.FD
- LV1ENC.DEF
-
- These files can be obtained from
- http://www.micropress-inc.com/latexcfg.zip
-
-SAVING ANY OLD VERSION OF LaTeX
-===============================
-
-VTeX allows LaTeX 2.09 and LaTeX 2E to coexist on the same system.
-LaTeX 2E is normally installed in the subdirectory VTEX/L2E, while
-LaTeX 2.09 is in VTEX/SRC.
-
- Because of file name conflicts, you have to ensure that:
-
- when using LaTeX 2E
- * The input directory path lists VTEX/L2E before VTEX/SRC
- * The format file field is set to "LATEX"
- when using LaTeX 2.09
- * The input directory path lists VTEX/SRC before VTEX/L2E
- * The format file field is set to "LPLAIN"
-
-CONFIGURING LATEX
-=================
-
- To configurate LaTeX 2E for use with VTeX, you have to
- <1> copy the customization files listed above into the
- VTEX/L2E subdirectory,
- <2> insert this directory into the input path *prior* to VTEX/SRC
- <3> select the LATEX format in the [Run]/[Typeset] dialog.
-
- If you are using MicroPress' distribution, <1> and <2> are done
- automatically.
-
-
-UNPACKING THE DISTRIBUTION
-==========================
-
- If you are using the MicroPress distribution, all unpacking is done
- automatically during the installation.
-
- If you are usign the CTAN distribution, you should unpack the files
- manually:
-
- assuming that VTEX has been installed in C:\VTEX,
- * create subdirectory L2E (C:\VTEX\L2E)
- * switch to it
- * copy all CTAN distribution files there
- * copy all MicroPress customization file there
- * append C:/VTEX/L2E to the beginning of the input path
- using the [Setup]/[Directories] menu item of the shell.
- * run
- VTEXWS -i unpack.ins (Windows)
- or
- VTEX3S -i unpack.ins (DOS)
-
-CREATING THE LaTeX FORMAT
-=========================
-
- If you are using the MicroPress distribution, this is done
- automatically.
-
- To create format files manually, run
- (in the C:/VTEX/L2E subdirectory)
-
- VTEXWS -i -m LATEX.LTX (Windows, Small TeX)
- VTEXWB -i -m LATEX.LTX (Windows, Big TeX)
- VTEX3S -i -m LATEX.LTX (DOS, Small TeX)
- VTEX3B -i -m LATEX.LTX (DOS, Big TeX)
-
- Notice that you do not need to issue all four commands. The formats
- for DOS and Windows are identical; and, unless you are using a 4mb
- machine, you should not use Small TeX at all.
-
- Technical info:
- The names of the format files are LATEX.FM2 and LATEX.FM3
- (small and big versions). The "-i" switch runs VTEX in the
- IniTeX mode; the "-m" switch forces creation of the LATEX.EMF
- file which is used by the editors for syntax hilighting of
- LaTeX documents.
-
-
-GETTING A WORKING LaTeX
-=======================
-
- If you followed all the previous steps, you now have a fully working
- installation.
-
-CHECKING THAT THE INSTALLATION WORKED
-=====================================
-
- To insure that the installation worked, you may want to run
-
- VTEX## &LATEX ltxcheck.tex
- (## is WS, WB, 3S, or 3B, as above)
-
- you should get a complain about missing dc fonts. At this time, VTeX
- distribution does not use dc fonts. If you really need them, you can
- obtain them from CTAN.
-
-
-PROBLEMS
-========

- If you run into unexpected problems during the installation,
- please contact us for assistance.

-
-CLEARING UP
-===========
-
- If you are short on space, you can delete all files with the
- extension .dtx after the installation.
-
-SYSTEM-SPECIFIC SECTIONS
-========================
-
- Everything above fully applies to all versions of VTeX starting
- with 4.00.
-
- However, some previous versions did not correctly configure or
- detect SliTeX fonts (before 4.14) and AmsTeX fonts (before 4.12).
- These problems can be solved by updating the customization files.
