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. - -If you have any problems not resolved by the above, please contact Y&Y at: - -tech-help@YandY.com (email) -(508) 371-2004 (fax) -(508) 371-3286 (voice) - -Y&Y, Inc. -45 Walden Street (snail mail) -Concord, MA, 01742, USA - ---- Copyright 1994, 1995, 1996 (C) Y&Y, Inc. and the LaTeX3 project --- ---- All rights reserved. --- - - |
