- LaTeX installation instructions for Y&Y TeX
-
- 1996 January 1
-
-SUMMARY
-=======
-
-This file contains instructions for installing LaTeX 2e for Y&Y TeX.
-It describes:
-
- * How to install LaTeX 2e from the diskette that comes with Y&Y TeX.
-
- * How to unpack a new LaTeX distribution obtained from CTAN.
-
- * How to check the LaTeX installation.
-
- * What to do if you have any problems.
-
-INITIAL INSTALLATION OF LaTaX 2e:
-=================================
-
-The Y&Y TeX System comes with a LaTeX 2e diskette that includes an
-installation batch file. Included is the LaTeX 2e `format' file as
-well as the class files. Just type
-
- a:install (or b:install)
-
-with the LaTeX 2e diskette in the diskette drive after installing Y&Y TeX
-itself. This will put the files in the standard places. Type a:install -?
-to see how you can control where the files are installed.
-
-The Y&Y TeX System also includes a second diskette with LaTeX 2e packages,
-which you can install in toto using the batch file on that diskette.
-Alternatively, just unzip the files for individual packages as needed.
-
-REFRESHING YOUR INSTALLATION OF LaTeX 2e:
-========================================
-
-If you do at some later time want to refresh your LaTeX 2e installation
-using the latest files from CTAN, do the following:
-
-Find the directory on your machine with the LaTeX 2e files --- in the
-standard installation this would be c:\yandytex\latex2e.
-
-(i) Make this `LaTeX 2e directory' the current directory.
-
-(ii) FTP the files in directory tex-archive/macros/latex2e/base on CTAN
- and put them into your `LaTeX 2e directory' (overwriting older
- versions of the files in the process).
-
-(iii) Run TeX on `unpack.ins.' That is, type `tex unpack.ins.'
- This will create around 230 files (in perhaps five minutes or so).
-
-(iv) Now run ini-TeX on `latex.ltx.' That is, type `tex -i latex.ltx'.
-
-(v) Finally, move the new `latex.fmt' file to the TEXFORMATS directory ---
- in the standard installation this would be c:\yandytex\fmt.
-
-* You now have an up-to-date LaTeX 2e installation!
-
-You can, if you prefer, call TeX on `unpack.ins' and ini-TeX on `latex.ltx'
-directly from the `TeX Menu' in DVIWindo. But then:
-
-(i) If you use a common working directory for your DVI files, first disable
- this by removing the check mark on the `Working Directory' menu item.
- This is to make sure files written by TeX and ini-TeX go right back into
- the `LaTeX 2e' directory, rather than into the common working directory.
-
-(ii) You may need to temporarily change the TEXINPUTS environment variable
- (in the [Environment] section of `dviwindo.ini' in the Windows directory)
- so that it lists the directory with your LaTeX 2e files first. Otherwise
- you run the risk of getting complaints about old versions of files like
- `docstrip.tex' being picked up from other directories.
-
-Note: if you have an old installation this may not work correctly because
-the ini-TeX call has some LaTeX 2e names hard-wired in, and these names have
-changed. In this case call ini-TeX directly from the DOS prompt as above.
-
-SOME OTHER HANDY TIPS:
-======================
-
-Creation of the LaTeX 2e format by ini-TeX requires a hyphenation file. For
-English, use the file `hyphen.tex' supplied with the system (in the `LaTeX'
-directory, which is typically c:\yandytex\latex). If ini-TeX complains that
-it can't find `hyphen.tex,' either make sure that it is in one of the
-directories listed in TEXINPUTS, or copy it to the `LaTeX 2e' directory.
-(By the way, for multilingual use consider the `babel' package).
-
-It us useful to create `format specific' TEXINPUTS environment variables.
-This is handy when you regularly used several different TeX `formats'
-(for example, when you need to run both LaTeX 2.09 and LaTeX 2e for some
-reason). Use variables named PLAIN, LPLAIN, and LATEX for plain TeX, LaTeX
-2.09, and LaTeX 2e respectively (These go into the [Environment] section
-of the `dviwindo.ini' file in your Windows directory).
-
-Note that in the semicolon-separated list specified for TEXINPUTS (or format
-specific variable as described above), you can add \ or \\ to the end of a
-directory name in order to get one level or recursive directory searching
-respectively. This can be convenient if you have many TeX source files in a
-hierarchical directory structure, as for example, the LaTeX 2e packages.
-
-ADDING LaTeX 2e TO AN OLDER INSTALLATION:
-=========================================
-
-Proceed as above, but make sure to add the `LaTeX 2e' directory to the
-list of directores in the TEXINPUTS environment variable. For example,
-
- TEXINPUTS=c:\yandytex\latex2e;c:\packages\psnfss;c:\texinput
-
-or create an environment variable called LATEX for this purpose (see above).
-
-Also, create a new `TeX Menu' entry for LaTeX 2e by holding down the
-`Control' key and selecting `LaTeX 2.09' from the `TeX Menu.' Edit the
-`Menu Item Name' field to read `LaTeX 2e|F7' (or whatever `hot key'
-you want to use), and edit the `Application Call Pattern' to read
-
- tex &latex @.tex
-
-(in Windows NT, use + or ^& instead of &). Then click `Add.'
-
-CHECKING THAT THE INSTALLATION WORKED
-=====================================
-
-To check that the installation worked, run the new LaTeX 2e on the file
-`ltxcheck.tex'. You can do this from DVIWindo's `TeX Menu.' Simply select
-`LaTeX 2e,' and navigate to `c:\yandytex\latex2e\ltxcheck.tex' (or wherever
-you placed your LaTeX 2e source files) in the `Open File' dialog.
-
-It is highly recommended that you run this test before going on!
-The test file will check some basic features of your TeX setup and
-either say they are OK or complain and say they are BAD.
-
-After this, you may also wish to process `usrguide.tex' and print the
-result, unless you have already done so (and perhaps `fntguide.tex').
-Also note that LaTeX 2e `packages' each come with their own documentation
-(which is likely to be more up to date than `The LaTeX Companion').
-
-PROBLEMS
-========
-
-If you have a very old Y&Y TeX System, then it may be set up for the LaTeX 2e
-beta test file names. In this case run ini-TeX from the DOS command line.
-
-If you have other problems with the LaTeX installation, see the `PROBLEMS'
-section in `install.txt'.
-
-If `ltxcheck' produces a `BAD' message, you will typically be able to
-figure out from the message what is wrong. For example, you may not
-have the environment variable TEXINPUTS set up to include the new
-LaTeX 2e files. If it is not obvious what caused the `BAD' message,
-then please consult the section on `ltxcheck' in `texpert.txt'.
-
-WARNING: When using fonts other than Computer Modern, look out for
- font naming problems. For example, with LucidaBright +
- LucidaNewMath, \usepackage{lucidbry} will use the actual font
- names, while \usepackage{lucidbrb} will use Karl Berry names.
-
-WARNING: When using fonts other than Computer Modern, look out for font
- encoding (character layout) problems. LaTeX 2e directly supports
- the old `TeX text' encoding (OT1 -- textext.vec), and the new
- `Cork' encoding (T1 -- tex256.vec). Use `\input texnansi' for
- TeX 'n ANSI encoding, or `\input ansiacce' for Windows ANSI etc.
-
-Like LaTeX 2e itself, auxiliary files supplied by Y&Y are at times revised
-and improved. Check out the `What's New' section on http://www.YandY.com.
