+\section{Introduction}
+\label{sec:intro}
+
+This document describes the main features of the \TL{} software
+distribution\Dash a \TeX{} and \LaTeX{} distribution for Linux and other
+Unix flavors, \MacOSX, and (32-bit) Windows systems. (Warning: it is
+not especially useful for older Mac or \acro{MS-DOS} systems.)
+
+\TL{} includes precompiled binaries for \TeX{}, \LaTeXe{}, \MF, \MP,
+\BibTeX{} and many other programs; an extensive collection of macros,
+fonts and documentation; and support for typesetting in many different
+scripts from around the world. It is part of the even larger \TK{}
+(briefly described below in section~\ref{sec:struct-tl},
+\p.\pageref{sec:struct-tl}), a cooperative effort by the \TeX\ user
+groups.
+
+For newer versions of the packages included here, please check
+\acro{CTAN}: \url{http://www.ctan.org}
+
+For a brief summary of the major changes in this edition of \TL{},
+see section~\ref{sec:history} (\p.\pageref{sec:history}).
+
+
+\subsection{Basic usage of \protect\TL{}}
+\label{sec:basic}
+
+You can use \TL{} in three principal ways:
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+
+\item You can run \TL{} directly from the \DVD
+(see section~\ref{sec:multiple-dist}, \p.\pageref{sec:multiple-dist}).
+This takes almost no disk space, as you might expect, and gives you
+immediate access to everything in \TL{}. Of course performance
+will be worse than running on local disk, but you may well find it
+acceptable.
+
+\item You can install all or part of \TL{} to a local disk. This
+is the most common use of \TL. You will need (approximately) a
+minimum of 100 megabytes, 310 megabytes for a recommended system, and
+730 megabytes for a full system.
+
+\item You can integrate a particular package or collection into your
+existing \TeX{} system, either a \TL{} system you installed
+earlier, or a different system.
+
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\noindent All of these are described in detail in the \acro{OS}-specific
+installation sections following, but here is a quick start:
+
+\begin{itemize*}
+
+\item The main installation script for Unix and \MacOSX{} is
+\texttt{install-tl.sh};
+
+\item The single package installation script is \texttt{install-pkg.sh}.
+
+\item Unfortunately, this version of \TL{} has no Windows installer, due
+to technical difficulties. See section~\ref{sec:win-install} below
+for more information.
+
+\end{itemize*}
+
+
+\subsection{Getting help}
+\label{sec:help}
+
+The \TeX{} community is both active and friendly, and virtually all
+serious questions end up getting answered. However, the support is
+informal, done by volunteers and casual readers, so it's especially
+important that you do your homework before asking. (If you prefer
+guaranteed commercial support, you can forego \TL{} completely and
+purchase a vendor's system; \url{http://tug.org/interest.html#vendors}
+has a list.)
+
+Here is a list of resources, approximately in the order we recommend
+using them:
+
+\begin{description}
+\item [Getting Started] If you are new to \TeX, the web page
+\url{http://tug.org/begin.html} gives a brief introduction to the system.
+
+\item [\TeX{} \acro{FAQ}] The \TeX{} \acro{FAQ} is a huge compendium of
+answers to all sorts of questions, from the most basic to the most
+arcane. It is included on \TL{} in \OnCD{texmf-doc/doc/english/FAQ-en}, and is
+available on the Internet through \url{http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq}.
+Please check here first.
+
+\item [\TeX{} Catalogue] If you are looking for a specific package,
+font, program, etc., the \TeX{} Catalogue is the place to look. It is a
+huge list of all \TeX{}-related items. See
+\OnCD{texmf-doc/doc/english/catalogue}, or
+\url{http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue}.
+
+\item [\TeX{} Web Resources] The web page
+\url{http://tug.org/interest.html} has many \TeX{}-related links, in
+particular for numerous books, manuals, and articles on all aspects of
+the system.
+
+\item [support archives] The two principal support forums are the
+Usenet newsgroup \url{news:comp.text.tex} and the mailing list
+\email{texhax@tug.org}. Their archives have years of past
+questions and answers for your searching pleasure, via
+\url{http://groups.google.com/groups?group=comp.text.tex} and
+\url{http://tug.org/mail-archives/texhax}, respectively. And a general web
+search, for example on \url{http://google.com}, never hurts.
+
+\item [asking questions] If you cannot find an answer, you can post to
+\dirname{comp.text.tex} through Google or your newsreader, or to
+\email{texhax@tug.org} through email. But before you post,
+\emph{please} read this \acro{FAQ} entry for advice on asking questions
+in such a way that you're most likely to get an answer:
+\url{http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=askquestion}.
+
+\item [\TL{} support] If you want to report a bug or have
+suggestions or comments on the \TL{} distribution, installation, or
+documentation, the mailing list is \email{tex-live@tug.org}. However,
+if your question is about how to use a particular program included in
+\TL{}, you are better off writing to that program's maintainer or
+mailing list.
+
+\end{description}
+
+The other side of the coin is helping others who have questions. Both
+\dirname{comp.text.tex} and \code{texhax} are open to anyone, so feel
+free to join, start reading, and help out where you can. Welcome to
+\TeX{}!
+
+
+% don't use \TL so the \uppercase in the headline works. Also so
+% tex4ht ends up with the right TeX. Likewise the \protect's.
+\section{Structure of \protect\TeX\protect\ Live}
+\label{sec:struct-tl}
+
+This section describes the structure and contents of \TL{} and the
+\TK{} of which it is a part.
+
+\subsection{Multiple distributions: \protect\pkgname{live},
+ \protect\pkgname{inst},
+ \protect\pkgname{protext}}
+\label{sec:multiple-dist}
+
+Space limitations of \acro{CD-ROM} format have forced us to divide
+\TK{} into several distributions, as follows.
+
+\begin{description}
+
+\item [live] A complete system on \acro{DVD}; it is too large
+for \acro{CD}. It can be run live or installed to disk. It also
+includes a snapshot of the \CTAN{} repository, entirely independent of
+\TL{}, as well as assorted other packages in a
+\texttt{texmf-extra} directory.
+
+Unfortunately, this release of \TL{} does not include a Windows
+installer, due to technical difficulties. (We hope there will be an
+installer again in a few months.) Therefore, when the \DVD{} is mounted
+on Windows, the setup program offers to start the \pkgname{protext}
+installation (see below), and also mentions \CTAN{} and \TL{}, which are
+in subdirectories of the top level of the \DVD{}.
+
+\CTAN{} and \texttt{texmf-extra} do not follow the same copying
+conditions as \TL{}, so be careful when redistributing or
+modifying.
+
+\item [inst(allable)] A complete system on \CD; in order to make this fit,
+the packages and programs are compressed. Therefore, it is not possible
+to run \TeX\ directly from the installable \CD, you have to install it
+to disk (hence its name). Furthermore, it can only be installed on Unix
+(including Linux, \MacOSX, etc.)\ systems, not Windows, although a set
+of experimental Windows binaries is included (for sharing across
+platforms). Installation is described in subsequent sections.
+
+\item [protext] An enhancement of the \MIKTEX\ system, for Windows.
+\ProTeXt\ adds a few extra tools to \MIKTEX, and simplifies
+installation. It is entirely independent of \TL{}, and has its own
+installation instructions. It can be run live, or installed to disk.
+The \ProTeXt\ home page is \url{http://tug.org/protext}.
+
+\ProTeXt\ is provided as both the top level of the \pkgname{live} \DVD\
+and on its own \CD\ (for those who cannot use the \DVD).
+
+\end{description}
+
+\noindent You can tell which type of distribution you're in by looking
+for a \texttt{00\var{type}.TL} file at the top of the \TL{} directory.
+This file also contains the \TL{} release date.
+
+Naturally, each user group chooses what to distribute, at its own
+discretion. (\acro{TUG} is sending all three discs above to all of its
+members.)
+
+
+\subsection{Top level directories}
+\label{sec:tld}
+
+Here is a brief listing and description of the top level directories in
+the \TL{} distribution. This has changed considerably in 2004: the
+single \texttt{texmf} tree has been split into several smaller trees.
+
+Also, on the \pkgname{live} \DVD, the entire \TL{} hierarchy is in a
+subdirectory \dirname{texlive2004}, not at the top level of the disc.
+
+\smallskip
+\begingroup
+ \renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.3} % open up interrow spacing
+\begin{tabular}{>{\ttfamily}lp{.78\hsize}}
+bin & The \TeX{} system programs, arranged by platform. \\
+MacOSX & Supporting software for \MacOSX (see
+ section~\ref{sec:mac-install}, \p.\pageref{sec:mac-install}). \\
+source & The source of all programs, including the main \Webc{}
+ \TeX{} and \MF{} distributions. These are stored in a
+ \cmdname{bzip2}-compressed tar archive. \\
+support & Assorted auxiliary packages and programs. These are
+ \emph{not} installed automatically. This includes
+ assorted editors and \TeX\ shells. \\
+texmf & Tree for the programs, along with their support files and
+ documentation. Does not include \TeX\ formats and packages. \\
+texmf-dist & The main tree of formats and packages. \\
+texmf-doc & Tree for self-contained pure documentation, with no other
+ installed files.\hfil\break Arranged by language. \\
+texmf-var & Tree for files automatically generated and stored. \\
+xemtex & The \cmdname{XEmacs} editor and other support programs for
+ Windows.
+ These programs generally come pre-installed on Unix systems, or are
+ at least easy to compile. \\
+\end{tabular}
+\endgroup
+
+\smallskip
+
+In addition to the directories above, the installation scripts and
+\filename{README} files (in various languages) are at the top level of
+the distribution.
+
+The (new) \dirname{texmf-doc} directory contains only documentation, but
+it does not contain all the documentation. The documentation for the
+programs (manuals, man pages, Info files) is in \dirname{texmf/doc},
+since the programs are in \dirname{texmf}. Similarly, the documentation
+for \TeX\ packages and formats is in \dirname{texmf-dist/doc}. You can
+use the \cmdname{texdoc} or \cmdname{texdoctk} programs to find any
+documentation wherever it's located. The comprehensive links in the
+top-level file \OnCD{doc.html} may also be helpful.
+
+
+\subsection{Extensions to \protect\TeX}
+\label{sec:tex-extensions}
+
+\TL{} contains several extended versions of \TeX:
+
+\begin{description}
+
+\item [\eTeX] adds a small but powerful set of new primitives
+\label{text:etex} (related to macro expansion, character scanning,
+classes of marks, additional debugging features, and more) and the
+\TeXXeT{} extensions for bidirectional typesetting. In default mode,
+\eTeX{} is 100\% compatible with ordinary \TeX. See
+\OnCD{texmf-dist/doc/etex/base/etex_man.pdf}.
+
+\item [pdf\TeX] writes Acrobat \acro{PDF} format as well as \dvi{}. The
+\LaTeX{} \pkgname{hyperref} package has an option `\optname{pdftex}'
+which turns on all the program features. See
+\OnCD{texmf/doc/pdftex/manual/pdftex-a.pdf} (A4 paper) or
+\OnCD{texmf/doc/pdftex/manual/pdftex-l.pdf} (letter paper), and
+\OnCD{texmf/doc/pdftex/examples/example.tex}.
+
+\item [pdfe\TeX] combines the pdf\TeX\ and \eTeX\ extensions. This is
+the default program for all formats except plain \TeX.
+See above for documentation.
+
+\item [\OMEGA\ (Omega)] is based on Unicode (16-bit characters), thus
+supports working with almost all the world's scripts simultaneously. It
+also supports so-called `\OMEGA{} Translation Processes' (\acro{OTP}s),
+for performing complex transformations on arbitrary input. See
+\OnCD{texmf-dist/doc/omega/base/doc-1.8.tex} (not completely up-to-date).
+
+\item [Aleph] combines the \OMEGA\ and \eTeX\ extensions.
+See \OnCD{texmf-dist/doc/aleph/base} for some minimal documentation.
+
+\end{description}
+
+
+\subsection{Other notable programs in \protect\TL}
+
+Here are a few other commonly-used programs included in \TL{}:
+
+\begin{cmddescription}
+
+\item [bibtex] bibliography support.
+
+\item [makeindex] index support.
+
+\item [dvips] convert \dvi{} to \PS{}.
+
+\item [xdvi] \dvi{} previewer for the X Window System.
+
+\item [dvilj] \dvi{} drive for the HP LaserJet family.
+
+\item [dv2dt, dt2dv] convert \dvi{} to/from plain text.
+
+\item [dviconcat, dviselect] cut and paste pages
+from \dvi{} files.
+
+\item [dvipdfm] convert \dvi{} to \acro{PDF}, an alternative approach
+to pdf\TeX\ (mentioned above). See the \pkgname{ps4pdf} and
+\pkgname{pdftricks} packages for still more alternatives.
+
+\item [psselect, psnup, \ldots] \PS{}
+utilities.
+
+\item [lacheck] \LaTeX{} syntax checker.
+
+\item [texexec] Con\TeX{}t and \acro{PDF} processor.
+
+\item [tex4ht] \TeX{} to \acro{HTML} converter.
+
+\end{cmddescription}
+
+
+\section{Unix installation}
+\label{sec:unix-install}
+
+As introduced in section~\ref{sec:basic} (\p.\pageref{sec:basic}),
+\TL{} has three principal uses:
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item Run directly from media.
+\item Install to disk.
+\item Integrate a particular package or collection into your existing
+\TeX{} installation.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\noindent The following sections describes the Unix-specific procedures
+for each of these.
+
+\ifSingleColumn \begin{figure}[ht]\noindent \fi
+\begin{warningbox}
+\textbf{Warning: } The \TK{} \CD{}s and \DVD{} are in ISO 9660 (High Sierra)
+format, \emph{with} Rock Ridge (and Joliet, for Windows)
+extensions. Therefore, in order to take full advantage of the \TK{}
+under Unix, your system needs to be able to use the Rock Ridge
+extensions. Please consult the documentation for your \cmdname{mount}
+command to see how to do this. If you have several different machines
+on a local network, you may be able to mount the \CD{}s on one which
+does support Rock Ridge, and use this with the others.
+
+\leavevmode\quad Linux, \acro{BSD}, Sun, and \acro{SGI}
+systems should be able to use the \CD{}s without problems. We
+would appreciate receiving detailed advice from users on other systems
+who succeed, for future versions of this documentation.
+
+\leavevmode\quad
+The discussion below assumes you have been able to mount
+the \CD{}s with full Rock Ridge compatibility.
+\end{warningbox}
+\ifSingleColumn\end{figure}\fi
+
+
+%
+\subsection{Running \protect\TL{} directly from media (Unix)}
+
+\def\runlive{% text repeated in windows section
+It is possible to use the \TeX{} system directly from the \pkgname{live}
+\DVD{}, without installing the distribution to disk. (Thus the name
+\TeX\ `Live', in fact.) It is \emph{not} possible to run \TeX{}
+directly from the other \CD s (see section~\ref{sec:multiple-dist},
+\p.\pageref{sec:multiple-dist}).
+}
+
+\def\startinst{% repeated in other subsections
+To start, you mount the \CD{} or \DVD{}, with Rock Ridge extensions
+enabled. The exact command to do this varies from system to system; the
+following works under Linux, except the name of the device
+(\filename{/dev/cdrom}, here) may vary. (All our examples will use
+\texttt{>} as the shell prompt; user input is
+\Ucom{\texttt{underlined}}.)
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom}
+\end{alltt}
+
+\noindent Change the current directory to the mount point:
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{cd /mnt/cdrom}
+\end{alltt}
+
+\noindent Under \MacOSX, the directory is typically under
+\dirname{/Volumes}, and the media will be mounted automatically.
+
+Run the installation script \filename{install-tl.sh}:
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{sh install-tl.sh}\\
+Welcome to TeX Live...
+\end{alltt}
+
+\noindent After various greeting messages and a list of the main menu
+options, the installation will ask you to enter a command. Do this by
+typing the desired character and hitting return; don't type the angle
+brackets. Either uppercase or lowercase is ok; we'll use lowercase in
+our examples.
+}
+
+\runlive
+\startinst
+
+For running live, our first command will be \Ucom{d} and then the
+subcommand \Ucom{1} to set directories. Even in this case, we must
+choose a directory on the local disk to place files that the \TeX{}
+system itself generates, such as fonts and formats, and also to provide
+a place for updated configuration files, if need be. We'll use
+\dirname{/usr/local/texmf-local} in this example. (If the default value
+of \dirname{/usr/TeX} works for you, then you can skip this step.)
+\begin{alltt}
+Enter command: \Ucom{d}
+Current directories setup:
+<1> TEXDIR: /usr/TeX
+...
+Enter command: \Ucom{1}
+New value for TEXDIR [/usr/TeX]: \Ucom{/usr/local/texmf-local}
+...
+Enter command: \Ucom{r}
+\end{alltt}
+
+\noindent Back at the main menu, our second and last command is
+\Ucom{r}, to set up for running live off the media without installing
+to disk:
+\begin{alltt}
+Enter command: \Ucom{r}
+Preparing destination directories...
+...
+Welcome to TeX Live!
+>
+\end{alltt}
+
+\noindent And we are back at the system prompt, as shown.
+
+Next, it is necessary to alter two environment variables:
+\envname{PATH}, to an architecture-dependent value (so that we can run
+the programs), and \envname{VARTEXMF}, to the value specified above. See
+table~\ref{tab:archlist} for a list of the architecture names for the
+different systems.
+
+
+\def\textruntexconfig{%
+After the main installation has completed, and environment variables
+have been set, the last step is to run \cmdname{texconfig} to customize
+your installation for your needs. This is explained in
+section~\ref{sec:texconfig}, \p.\pageref{sec:texconfig}.
+}
+\textruntexconfig

+architectures. In addition to the version-specific names listed here,
+there are generic names without the version numbers. For instance,
+\texttt{sparc-solaris} links to \texttt{sparc-solaris2.7}. The generic

+future, if you wish.}

+\end{table*}
+
+\label{text:path}
+The syntax for setting the environment variables, and the initialization
+file to put them in, depends on the shell you use. If you use a
+Bourne-compatible shell (\cmdname{sh}, \cmdname{bash}, \cmdname{ksh}, et
+al.), put the following into your \filename{$HOME/.profile} file:
+\begin{alltt}
+PATH=/mnt/cdrom/bin/\var{archname}:$PATH; export PATH
+VARTEXMF=/usr/local/texmf-local/texmf-var; export VARTEXMF

+\begin{alltt}
+setenv PATH /mnt/cdrom/bin/\var{archname}:$PATH
+setenv VARTEXMF /usr/local/texmf-local/texmf-var
+\end{alltt}
+
+\noindent Then log out, log back in, and test your installation
+(see section~\ref{sec:test-install}, \p.\pageref{sec:test-install}).
+
+\def\textifindoubt{%
+If in doubt, please ask any local system gurus to help you with

+\subsection{Installing \protect\TeX\protect\ Live to disk}
+\label{sec:unix-install-disk}
+
+It is possible, indeed typical, to install the \TeX{} system from the
+\TL{} to disk. This can be done either from any of the \TK{} discs.
+(See section~\ref{sec:multiple-dist}, \p.\pageref{sec:multiple-dist},
+for an explanation of the different distributions.)
+
+\startinst
+
+Table~\ref{tab:main-menu-options} briefly lists the options in the main
+menu. The order in which you select the options makes little
+difference, except that \Ucom{i} must be last. It's reasonable to go
+through them in the order presented here.
+
+% apparently here.sty [H] doesn't support table*.
+\begin{table}[H]
+\caption{Main menu options for the installation.}
+\label{tab:main-menu-options}
+\begin{tabular}{>{\ttfamily}ll}
+p & The platform you are running on.\\
+b & The architectures for which to install binaries.\\
+s & The base installation scheme to use (minimal, recommended,
+ full, etc.)\\
+c & Override the base scheme for individual collections.\\
+l & Override for language collections.\\
+d & Directories in which to install.\\
+o & Other options.\\
+i & Perform the installation.\\
+\end{tabular}
+\end{table}
+
+Here are further details on each option.
+
+\textbf{\optname{p} -- Current platform.} Since the installation script
+automatically guesses which platform you're running on, it is generally
+unnecessary to use this option. It's there in case you need to override
+the automatic detection.
+
+\textbf{\optname{b} -- Binary architectures.} By default, only the
+binaries for your current platform will be installed. From this menu,
+you can select installation of binaries for other architectures as well
+(or not install the current platforms). This can be useful if you are
+sharing a \TeX\ tree across a network of heterogenous machines. For a
+list of the supported architectures, see table~\ref{tab:archlist},
+\p.\pageref{tab:archlist}.
+
+\textbf{\optname{s} -- Base installation scheme.} From this menu, you
+can choose an overall common set of packages, called a ``scheme''. The
+default \optname{recommended} scheme suffices for typical needs, but you
+can also choose the \optname{basic} scheme if you are low on disk space,
+or \optname{full} to get absolutely everything. There are also specific
+sets for Omega and \acro{XML}.
+
+\textbf{\optname{c} -- Individual collections.} From this menu, you can
+override the base scheme's set of collections to install. Collections
+are one level lower than schemes\Dash collections consist of
+one or more packages, where packages (the lowest level grouping in \TL)
+contain the actual \TeX\ macro files, font families, and so on.
+In this menu, selection letters are case-sensitive.
+
+\textbf{\optname{l} -- Language collections}. This menu has the same
+basic purpose as \Ucom{c}, to override the base scheme. In this case,
+the collections are specifically for different languages. Selection
+letters are case-sensitive here. Here is a list of the language
+collections in \TL:
+

+
+\noindent Language collections typically include fonts, macros,
+hyphenation patterns, and other support files. (For instance,
+\pkgname{frenchle.sty} is installed if you select the \optname{French}
+collection.) In addition, installing a language collection will alter
+the \filename{language.dat} configuration file controlling which
+hyphenation patterns are loaded.
+
+\textbf{\optname{d} -- Installation directories}. Three directories can
+be changed here:
+\label{text:instdir}
+
+\begin{ttdescription}
+\item [TEXDIR] The top-level directory under which
+everything else will be installed. The default value is
+\dirname{/usr/TeX}, and is often changed. For example, changing to a
+value such as \dirname{/usr/local/texlive2003} would make it possible to
+keep different releases of \TL{} separate. (You may then wish to make
+\dirname{/usr/local/texlive} a symbolic link, after testing the new
+release.)
+
+Under \MacOSX, the usual frontends look for \TeX{} in
+\dirname{/usr/local/teTeX}, so you may wish to install \TL{} there.
+
+\item [TEXMFLOCAL] This tree is where the \TeX{} system (not as part of
+installation, but rather over time) puts non-version-specific files,
+primarily fonts. The default value is \dirname{TEXDIR/texmf-local}.
+However, it's also the recommended location to put any local packages or
+configuration settings. Therefore, it's desirable to change it to a
+location independent of the current \TL{} release; for example,
+\dirname{/usr/local/texmf-local}.
+
+\item [VARTEXMF] This tree is where the system puts files that
+\emph{are} version-specific, primarily format files and the
+configuration files which are modified by \cmdname{texconfig} (see
+section~\ref{sec:texconfig}, \p.\pageref{sec:texconfig}). The default
+value is \dirname{TEXDIR/texmf-var}, and there's generally no reason to
+change it.
+
+\end{ttdescription}
+
+\textbf{\optname{o} -- Other options.} From this menu, you can select
+the following general options:
+
+\begin{ttdescription}
+\item [a] Specify an alternate directory for generated fonts.
+The default is to use the \envname{VARTEXMF} tree, as explained above.
+Setting this is useful if you plan to mount the main tree read-only, and
+therefore you need another location (perhaps host-specific) for
+dynamically created fonts.
+
+\item [l] Create symbolic links for the binaries, man pages,
+and\slash or \acro{GNU} Info files in other locations. For example, you may
+wish to make the man pages available under \dirname{/usr/local/man} and
+the Info files available under \dirname{/usr/local/info}. (Of course
+you need appropriate privileges to write in the specified directories.)
+
+It is not advisable to overwrite a \TeX\ system that came with your
+system with this option. It's intended more for having the links in
+standard directories known to users, such as \dirname{/usr/local/bin},
+which don't already contain any \TeX\ files.
+
+\item [d] Skip installation of the font/macro documentation tree.
+This is useful if you need to save space, or if you've previously
+installed the documentation elsewhere.
+
+\item [s] Skip installation of the main font/macro source
+tree. This is useful if you are arranging to share that tree between
+machines and\slash or architectures in some other way, such as \acro{NFS}.
+
+\end{ttdescription}
+
+\textbf{i -- Perform installation.} When you're satisfied with your
+configuration options, enter \Ucom{i} to actually do the installation
+from the media to your chosen locations.
+
+% text is similar to above, but no VARTEXMF, so we have to write out.
+After the installation completes, your next step is to include the
+architecture-specific subdirectory of \dirname{TEXDIR/bin} in your
+\envname{PATH}, so the newly-installed programs can be found. The
+architecture names are listed in table~\ref{tab:archlist},
+\p.\pageref{tab:archlist}, or you can simply list the directory
+\dirname{TEXDIR/bin}.
+
+The syntax for doing this, and the initialization file to use, depends
+on your shell. If you use a Bourne-compatible shell (\cmdname{sh},
+\cmdname{bash}, \cmdname{ksh}, et al.), put the following into your
+\filename{$HOME/.profile} file:
+
+\begin{alltt}
+PATH=/mnt/cdrom/bin/\var{archname}:$PATH; export PATH
+\end{alltt}
+
+\noindent For C shell-compatible shells (\cmdname{csh}, \cmdname{tcsh}),
+put the following into your \filename{$HOME/.cshrc} file:
+\begin{alltt}
+setenv PATH /mnt/cdrom/bin/\var{archname}:$PATH
+\end{alltt}
+
+\textruntexconfig
+
+Here is a brief annotated example which selects a full installation,
+with binaries for the current system only, with directory changes as
+recommended above. The prompts and \acro{RETURN}s are omitted for
+brevity.
+
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{sh install-tl.sh}
+\Ucom{s} \Ucom{b} \Ucom{r} # scheme, full, return to main
+\Ucom{d} # change directories
+\Ucom{1} \Ucom{/usr/local/texlive2003} # top-level dir
+\Ucom{2} \Ucom{/usr/local/texmf-local} # TEXMFLOCAL outside TEXDIR
+\Ucom{r} # return to main
+\Ucom{i} # perform installation
+> \Ucom{texconfig} ...
+# New PATH, with Linux as the example:
+> \Ucom{PATH=/usr/local/texlive2003/bin/i386-linux:$PATH; export PATH}
+\end{alltt}

+\subsection{Installing individual packages to disk}
+
+You can add individual packages or collections from the current
+distribution to an existing non-\TL{} setup, or an earlier
+\TL{} installation.
+
+\startinst
+
+Run the installation script \filename{install-pkg.sh} (not
+\filename{install-tl.sh}, which is intended for complete installations
+only):
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{sh install-pkg.sh \var{options}}
+\end{alltt}
+
+The first set of options controls what gets read:
+
+\begin{ttdescription}
+\item [-{}-package=\var{pkgname}] The individual package to work on.
+
+\item [-{}-collection=\var{colname}] The individual collection to work on.
+
+\item [-{}-nodoc] Exclude documentation files from the operation.
+
+\item [-{}-nosrc] Exclude source files from the operation.
+
+\item [-{}-cddir=\var{dir}] Source directory to read from; defaults
+to the current directory. If you followed the instructions above, that
+will be the distribution directory, and won't need to be changed.
+
+\item [-{}-listdir=\var{dir}] The so-called `lists' directory within
+\var{cddir} from which to read the package information. The only
+reason to change the default is if you're making changes to \TL{}
+yourself.
+
+\end{ttdescription}
+
+What actually happens is controlled by the following options. If
+neither of these are specified, the default action is to install the
+selected files. The main destination tree is found by expanding
+\envname{\$TEXMFMAIN} with \cmdname{kpsewhich}. You can override it by
+setting either the environment variable \envname{TEXMFMAIN} or
+\envname{TEXMF}.
+
+\begin{ttdescription}
+\item [-{}-listonly] List the files that would be installed, but don't
+actually install anything.
+
+\item [-{}-archive=\var{tarfile}] Instead of installing the files into
+the \TeX{} system, make a \cmdname{tar} archive.
+
+\end{ttdescription}
+
+Additional options:
+
+\begin{ttdescription}
+
+\item [-{}-config] After installation, run \code{texconfig init}.
+
+\item [-{}-nohash] After installation, don't run \cmdname{mktexlsr} to
+rebuild the filename database.
+
+\item [-{}-verbose] Give more information as the script runs.
+
+\end{ttdescription}
+
+Here are some usage examples:
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+
+\item To see the files in the package \pkgname{fancyhdr} without
+installing it:
+
+\begin{alltt}
+\ifSingleColumn> \Ucom{sh install-pkg.sh --package=fancyhdr --listonly}
+\else> \Ucom{sh install-pkg.sh --package=fancyhdr \bs}
+> \Ucom{--listonly}
+\fi{}
+texmf/doc/latex/fancyhdr/README
+texmf/doc/latex/fancyhdr/fancyhdr.dvi
+texmf/doc/latex/fancyhdr/fancyhdr.pdf
+...
+\end{alltt}
+
+\item Install the \LaTeX{} package \pkgname{natbib}:
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{sh install-pkg.sh --package=natbib}
+\end{alltt}
+
+\item Install the \LaTeX{} package \pkgname{alg} without source files or
+documentation:
+\begin{alltt}
+\ifSingleColumn> \Ucom{sh install-pkg.sh --package=alg --nosrc --nodoc}
+\else> \Ucom{sh install-pkg.sh -{}-package=alg \bs}
+> \Ucom{-{}-nosrc -{}-nodoc}
+\fi\end{alltt}
+
+\item Install all the packages in the collection of additional
+plain \TeX\ macros:
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{sh install-pkg.sh --collection=tex-plainextra}
+\end{alltt}
+
+\item Write all files in the \pkgname{pstricks} package to a
+\cmdname{tar} file in \path|/tmp|:
+\begin{alltt}
+\ifSingleColumn> \Ucom{sh install-pkg.sh --package=pstricks --archive=/tmp/pstricks.tar}
+\else
+> \Ucom{sh install-pkg.sh -{}-package=pstricks \bs}
+> \Ucom{-{}-archive=/tmp/pstricks.tar}
+\fi\end{alltt}
+
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\textifindoubt

+
+%
+\section{Post-installation}
+\label{sec:postinstall}
+
+After the main installation is done, for any operating system, the
+remaining steps are to configure the system for your local needs, and
+perform some basic tests.
+
+Another sort of post-installation is to acquire packages, fonts, or
+programs that were not included in \TL{}. The basic idea is to
+install such additions in the \envname{TEXMFLOCAL} tree (if you
+installed to disk), or \envname{VARTEXMF} (if you are running live).
+See the ``Installation directories'' option on \p.\pageref{text:instdir}.
+
+Unfortunately, the details can and do vary widely, and so we do not attempt to
+address them here. Here are some external links to descriptions:
+\begin{itemize*}
+\item
+\url{http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=instpackages}
+\item
+\url{http://www.ctan.org/installationadvice}
+\item
+\url{http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/beginlatex/html/chapter5.html#pkginst}
+\item
+\url{http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/Type1fonts} for font creation
+and installation information in particular.
+\end{itemize*}
+
+
+\subsection{The \protect\cmdname{texconfig} program}
+\label{sec:texconfig}
+
+At any time after installation, you can and should use the program
+\cmdname{texconfig} to configure the system to fit your local needs. It
+is installed in the architecture-specific subdirectory
+\texttt{TEXDIR/bin/\var{arch}} along with everything else.
+
+If you run it without arguments, it will enter full-screen mode and
+allow you to view and change options interactively.
+
+You can also run it with various command-line options. Here are some of
+the most common (a \TL{} installation is configured for the A4 paper
+size by default):
+
+\begin{ttdescription}
+
+\item [texconfig paper letter] Set default paper size for
+various programs and drivers (\cmdname{pdftex}, \cmdname{dvips},
+\cmdname{dvipdfm}, \cmdname{xdvi}) to be \acro{US} letter. The other
+allowable size is \optname{a4}, which is the default.
+
+\item [texconfig localsetup] Verify that paths are set ok.
+
+\item [texconfig rehash] Update all the \TeX{} system filename databases.
+
+\item [texconfig faq] Show the \teTeX{} \acro{FAQ}.
+(See also the main \TeX{} \acro{FAQ} in \OnCD{texmf-doc/doc/english/FAQ-en}.)
+
+\item [texconfig help] Output help information for \cmdname{texconfig}.
+
+\end{ttdescription}
+
+Of course, \cmdname{texconfig} can only support changing a few of the
+many options and configuration parameters in a \TeX{} system. The main
+configuration file for the base \Webc{} programs is named
+\filename{texmf.cnf}. You can find its location by running
+\samp{kpsewhich texmf.cnf}; it contains many comments explaining the
+default settings and useful alternatives.
+
+
+\subsection{Testing the installation}
+\label{sec:test-install}
+
+After installing \TL{} as best you can, you naturally want to test
+it out, so you can start creating beautiful documents and\slash or fonts.
+
+This section gives some basic procedures for testing that the new system
+is functional. We give Unix commands; under \MacOSX{} and Windows,
+you're more likely to run the tests through a graphical interface, but
+the principles are the same.
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+
+\item Make sure that you can run the \cmdname{tex} program in the first
+place:
+
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{tex -{}-version}
+TeX 3.141592 (Web2C 7.5.3)
+kpathsea version 3.5.3
+Copyright (C) 1997-2004 D.E. Knuth.
+...
+\end{alltt}
+If this comes back with `command not found' instead of version and
+copyright information, most likely you don't have the correct
+\dirname{bin} subdirectory in your \envname{PATH}. See
+the environment-setting information on \p.\pageref{text:path}.
+
+\item Process a basic \LaTeX{} file:
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{latex sample2e.tex}
+This is pdfeTeXk, Version 3.141592...
+...
+Output written on sample2e.dvi (3 pages, 7496 bytes).
+Transcript written on sample2e.log.
+\end{alltt}
+If this fails to find \filename{sample2e.tex} or other files, perhaps
+you have interference from old environment variables or configuration
+files. For a deep analysis, you can always ask \TeX{} to report on
+exactly what it is searching for, and finding; see ``Debugging actions''
+on page~\pageref{Debugging}.
+
+\item Preview the result online:
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{xdvi sample2e.dvi}
+\end{alltt}
+(Under Windows, the analogous command is \cmdname{windvi}.) You should
+see a new window with a nice document explaining some of the basics of
+\LaTeX{}. (Well worth reading, by the way if you're new to the system.)
+You do have to be running under X for \cmdname{xdvi} to work; if you're
+not, or your \envname{DISPLAY} environment variable is set incorrectly,
+you'll get an error \samp{Can't open display}.
+
+\item Create a \PS{} file for printing or display:
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{dvips sample2e.dvi -o sample2e.ps}
+\end{alltt}
+
+\item Create a \acro{PDF} file instead of \dvi{}; this processes the
+\filename{.tex} file and writes \acro{PDF} directly:
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{pdflatex sample2e.tex}
+\end{alltt}
+
+\item Preview the \acro{PDF} file:
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{gv sample2e.pdf}
+\textrm{or:}
+> \Ucom{xpdf sample2e.pdf}
+\end{alltt}
+Unfortunately neither \cmdname{gv} nor \cmdname{xpdf} are currently
+included in \TL{}, so you must install them separately. See
+\url{http://wwwthep.physik.uni-mainz.de/~plass/gv} and
+\url{http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf}, respectively.
+
+\item Other standard test files you may find useful:
+
+\begin{ttdescription}
+\item [small2e.tex] A simpler document than \filename{sample2e}, to
+reduce the input size if you're having troubles.
+\item [testpage.tex] Test if your printer introduces any offsets.
+\item [nfssfont.tex] For printing font tables and tests.
+\item [testfont.tex] Also for font tables, but using plain \TeX{}.
+\item [story.tex] The most canonical (plain) \TeX{} test file of all.
+You must type \samp{\bs bye} to the \code{*} prompt after \samp{tex
+story.tex}.
+\end{ttdescription}
+You can process these in the same way as we did with
+\filename{sample2e.tex}.
+
+\end{enumerate}
+
+If you are new to \TeX{}, or otherwise need help with actually
+constructing \TeX{} or \LaTeX{} documents, please visit
+\url{http://tug.org/begin.html}. We especially recommend the
+\textsl{Formatting Information} manual by Peter Flynn, available at
+\url{http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/documentation/beginlatex}.
+
+
+\section{\MacOSX{} installation}
+\label{sec:mac-install}
+
+\TL{} supports \MacOSX, but no prior Macintosh versions. (If you
+are running an older Mac version, you can view the files by installing
+the Joliet system extension available from
+\url{http://www.tempel.org/joliet}; however, the \TL{} binaries
+will not run.)
+
+Installation of \TeX{} under \MacOSX{} can be done in two ways:
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item With the \filename{install*} scripts, as with Unix.
+\item With the \cmdname{i-Installer} included in
+\filename{MacOSX/II2.dmg}.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\noindent Each of these is described in a following section.
+
+In addition, \TeX{} under \MacOSX\ typically uses a ``frontend''. This
+is also described below.
+
+
+\subsection{\protect\cmdname{i-Installer}: Internet installation}
+\label{sec:i-Installer}
+
+The \cmdname{i-Installer} is included in the \TL{} distribution as
+an alternative to normal installation. It does not use the contents of
+the \TL{} distribution at all; instead, the system (approximately
+70 megabytes) is downloaded over the Internet.
+
+One advantage of \cmdname{i-Installer} is that it makes updates
+relatively painless. If you are interested, please see the
+\cmdname{i-Installer} \TeX{} home page at \url{http://www.rna.nl/tex.html}.
+
+To use it, mount \filename{./MacOSX/II2.dmg}. Read the documentation,
+launch it, and install at least \texttt{TeX Foundation} and \texttt{TeX
+Programs}. The first will finish without configuration, as soon as the
+second is installed you will be presented with a graphical interface to
+setting up your \TeX{} system.
+
+The \cmdname{i-Installer} distribution uses the \teTeX{} \dirname{texmf}
+tree with some additions. Due to differences between \TL{} and
+\teTeX{} you cannot update a \TL{} installation with an
+\cmdname{i-Installer} \texttt{TeX Programs} i-Package.
+
+
+\subsection{\protect\cmdname{install*.sh}: \protect\TL{} installation}
+
+In order to run the installation scripts under \MacOSX, you need to have
+the \cmdname{bash} shell installed. If you are running \MacOSX~10.2
+or later, you have \cmdname{bash}, and can proceed. If you're running
+an earlier \MacOSX{} version, however, the default shell is
+\cmdname{zsh}, which won't work; you'll need to get \cmdname{bash} from
+the Internet, or more likely upgrade your system.
+
+Once you have \cmdname{bash}, the Unix installation documentation in the
+previous section can be followed. See section~\ref{sec:unix-install} on
+\p.\pageref{sec:unix-install}; \MacOSX-specific notes are included there
+where needed.
+
+
+\subsection{\MacOSX{} frontends}
+
+Using \TeX{} on a Macintosh typically goes through a front end program,
+comprising an execution shell, editor, previewer, and other facilities,
+with a graphical interface. Here are the principal frontends:
+
+\begin{cmddescription}
+\item [TeXShop] Included in \TL{} as \filename{./MacOSX/texshop.dmg}.
+ \\See \url{http://www.uoregon.edu/~koch/texshop/texshop.html}.
+
+\item [ITeXMac] Included in \TL{} as \filename{./MacOSX/iTM-*.dmg}.
+ \\See \url{http://itexmac.sourceforge.net}.
+
+\item [Mac-emacs] A port of Emacs to \MacOSX{}, integrating \pkgname{AucTeX}.
+ \\See \url{http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~franconi/mac-emacs}.
+
+\end{cmddescription}
+
+The frontends use \dirname{/usr/local/teTeX} as the default location;
+therefore, you must either install \TL{} there, or change the
+configuration of the frontend.
+
+
+\section{Windows installation}
+\label{sec:win-install}
+
+Unfortunately, this release of \TL{} does not include a Windows
+installer, due to technical difficulties. We hope that an installer
+will be available again in a few months. (It is being completely
+rewritten to use standard Microsoft libraries, instead of the homegrown
+\filename{TeXSetup.exe}.)
+
+A set of experimental Windows binaries is included, nevertheless. You
+can install them with the Unix \filename{install-tl.sh} script: select
+the \optname{win32} system from the \optname{S} option of the top-level
+menu. The \pkgname{XEmacs} package is not included, however, due to
+space.
+
+(Meanwhile, if you are an experienced Windows programmer and would like
+to help with the project, email us!)
+
+
+\begin{comment}
+\TL{} can be installed on systems running Windows 9x, \acro{ME},
+\acro{NT}, \acro{2K} or \acro{XP}. Older versions of Windows (3.1x)
+and \acro{MS-DOS} are not supported.
+
+It is necessary to have your Windows set up so that it uses the
+Microsoft Joliet extensions for reading \CD{}s; simply look at the \CD{}
+in Explorer and see whether it shows long, mixed-case, file names. If it
+does not, you must install the Joliet extensions.
+
+The Windows \TeX{} system included in \TL{} is no more and no less
+than the \fpTeX{} distribution. It includes a \texttt{dvi} previewer,
+\textsf{Windvi}, which is similar in usage to the established Unix
+\textsf{xdvi}. The documentation can be found in
+\OnCD{texmf/doc/html/windvi/windvi.html}.
+
+\subsection{The \texttt{TeXLive.exe} program}
+
+\begin{figure*}
+ \begin{center}
+ \ifnum \Status=1
+ \includegraphics[width=.7\textwidth]{pictures/Welcome-to-TeXLive}
+ \else
+ \ifnum \Status=2

+ \fi
+ \fi
+ \end{center}
+ \caption{``Welcome to \TL'' window}\label{graph:welcome}
+\end{figure*}
+
+If your computer is configured to let the \CD{} autostart, then a dialog
+box with a menu bar will popup on the screen, and you will have several
+choices from there:
+
+\begin{itemize*}
+\item Install \TeX{} on your hard disk
+\item Do maintenance on your \TeX{} system.
+\item Remove the \TeX{} system.
+\item Use \TeX{} off the \TL{} \CD{} or \DVD{}.
+\item Browse documentation: \TL{} documentation, TUG web
+ pages, \fpTeX web pages.
+\item Run the \cmdname{TeXdocTK} application to find specific documentation.
+\end{itemize*}
+
+If your \CD{} does not autostart, you can explicitly run the program
+by double clicking on \path|bin/win32/TeXLive.exe| on the \CD{} from
+the explorer window.
+
+\subsection{Running \protect\TL{} directly from media (Windows)}
+
+\runlive
+
+To run live under Windows, from the menu, chose \verb|Explore CD-Rom|, then
+\verb|Run TeX off CD-Rom|. This will launch the \cmdname{XEmacs} editor.
+
+XEmacs startup file will set the environment variables needed. XEmacs will also
+setup a temporary \acro{TDS} compliant texmf tree in the temporary area of your
+computer. It is needed to store files that may be built on the fly, such as
+\path|pk| bitmap fonts, or format files. Configuration files are copied from
+the \CD{} to this texmf tree, so that you can edit them if needed. The
+\path|ls-R| database is computed for this texmf tree. The AUC-\TeX{} mode will
+be entered Whenever you will visit or create a \TeX{} file, providing all the
+bells and whistles for \TeX{} support XEmacs is capable of.
+
+If you run 'M-x shell' within XEmacs, then you will have access to all the TeXLive
+tools from the command line provided by XEmacs.
+
+\smallskip {\small\noindent \textbf{[For advanced users:]} You can also
+ use the small batch file \path|mkloctex.bat| to be called in a
+ directory \path|bin\win32| of the \CD. From the Start menu select
+ `Run', then browse the \acro{CD} drive and select
+ \path|mkloctex.bat|. Before starting it, you should add two parameters
+ separated by a space: the letter of your \acro{CD} drive and the
+ letter of the drive where you want to install the \TeX\ directory.
+ The whole line should read, e.g., \verb+d:\bin\win32\mkloctex.bat d c+.
+ When installation is complete, please read carefully the information
+ on screen. If you are running Windows 9x/\acro{ME}, then you will have to
+ restart Windows.}
+
+\subsection{Support packages for Windows}
+\label{sec:win-xemtex}
+
+To be complete, a \TL installation needs support packages that are not
+commonly found on a Windows machine.
+Many scripts are written using the Perl language. Some important tools require
+the Ghostscript \PS{} interpreter to render or to convert files. A graphic
+file toolbox is also needed in some cases. Last but not least, a \TeX-oriented
+editor makes it easy to type in your \TeX{} files.
+
+All these tools are quite easy to find for Windows, but in order to try to make
+your life even easier, we have put such a set of tools on \TL:
+\begin{itemize*}
+\item \cmdname{Ghostscript} 7.07
+\item a minimal \cmdname{Perl} 5.8, sufficient to run all the \TL{}
+Perl scripts
+\item a subset of \cmdname{ImageMagick} 5.5.6
+\item the \cmdname{ISpell} checker
+\item \cmdname{XEmacs} 21.5.14 with a selection of packages to support
+\TeX{} typesetting.
+\end{itemize*}
+
+These packages should be installed only all at once. The bundle is
+known as the \XEmTeX{} bundle.
+
+If you didn't install \XEmTeX{}, \cmdname{Perl} and \cmdname{Ghostscript} are
+installed anyway if they are not detected on your machine. This is because they are
+required by many important tools. The \envname{PERL5LIB} and \verb|GS_LIB|
+environment variables will be set too.
+
+When you are under
+\cmdname{XEmacs}, the tools provided shadow any other version you might
+have installed previously. The point here is that \path|TeXSetup.exe|
+will not install anything outside of the \TL location, neither will
+it run foreign installers, nor will it try to autodetect installed
+products using unreliable rules of thumb. The \XEmTeX{} bundle is
+standalone and is meant to evolve in the future. The reference site is
+\url{http://www.fptex.org/xemtex/}.
+
+If you don't want to install this bundle, then you are on your own to
+install the required tools to complete your \TL{} system. Here is a
+list of places to get those tools:
+
+\begin{description}
+\item[Ghostscript] \url{http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/}
+\item[Perl] \url{http://www.activestate.com/} (but you might need some
+ supplementary packages from CPAN: \url{http://www.cpan.org/})
+\item[ImageMagick] \url{http://www.imagemagick.com}
+\item[NetPBM] alternatively, you could use NetPBM instead of ImageMagick to
+ process or convert your graphic files. NetPBM home page is
+ \url{http://netpbm.sourceforge.net/}
+\item[\TeX-oriented editors] There is a wide choice, and it is a matter of the
+ user's taste. Here is a selection:
+ \begin{itemize*}
+ \item \cmdname{GNU Emacs} is available natively under Windows, the
+ reference url is
+ \url{http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/ntemacs.html}
+ \item \cmdname{XEmacs} is available natively under Windows, the
+ reference url is \url{http://www.xemacs.org/}
+ \item \cmdname{WinShell} is available on \TL in the \path|support|
+ directory, the reference url is \url{http://www.winshell.de}
+ \item \cmdname{WinEdt} is shareware available from \url{http://www.winedt.com}
+ \item TeXnicCenter is available from\\
+ \url{http://www.toolscenter.org}
+ \item \cmdname{Vim} is available on \TL{} in the
+ \path|support\vim| directory and the
+ reference site is \url{http://www.vim.org}
+ \item \cmdname{SciTE} is available from \url{http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html}
+ \end{itemize*}
+\end{description}
+
+You might want to install other tools that are not free\footnote{Not
+free, that is, in the sense of freedom to modify and redistribute,
+following free software guidelines. This does not mean you can't acquire
+them for no money.} and therefore not included on \TL{}, such as
+\cmdname{GSView}, the \cmdname{Ghostscript} companion to more
+conveniently view PS/PDF files. \cmdname{GSView} is available from
+\url{http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/} or any \acro{CTAN} site.
+
+\subsection{Installing \protect\TeX\protect\ Live to disk}
+
+\textbf{Warning: Win9x users must ensure they have enough environment
+ space before undertaking installation. The \cmdname{TeXSetup.exe}
+ program won't change the environment size for them. A few environment
+ variables will be created and it is possible you run out of
+ environment space. Add \texttt{SHELL=<path>COMMAND.COM /E:4096 /P} in the
+ config.sys file in order to increase your environment size.}
+
+Installation is started by letting the media autostart. The program run
+is \path|TeXSetup.exe| if you are using the inst disk. If you are using
+the live or the demo disk, you will have to select the item
+\path|TeXLive Software| from the menu, then the subitem \path|Install on
+Hard Disk|. This will invoke \path|TeXSetup.exe|. You can also find it
+in the \path|bin/win32| directory and run it, if the autostart fails for
+any reason. \path|TeXSetup.exe| is a Windows wizard and it will display
+several pages while running.
+
+\begin{description}
+\item[Welcome Page]
+ You can choose a \emph{quick} installation from
+ here. In this case, the installation will run without any human
+ assistance from beginning to end, with all the default settings
+ (Figure~\ref{graph:setup-src},
+ \ifnum \Status = 1
+ on the left%
+ \else\ifnum \Status=2
+ at the top%
+ \else
+ on the left%
+ \fi\fi
+ ). If you have enough privileges (administrator or power user
+ rights) under a Windows version where this is applicable, then you can
+ decide to install the \TL{} for all users or for yourself only by
+ checking the appropriate box.
+ For installing the whole \XEmTeX{} bundle (XEmacs, Ghost\-script,
+ Perl, ImageMagick and Ispell) you can check \emph{Install XEmTeX
+ Support} box.

+ \fi
+ \caption{The \TL{} setup wizard}\label{graph:setup-src}
+ \end{center}
+\end{figure*}
+\item[Source Page]
+ This page is a bit complex. It will allow you to select two source
+ directories for your \TL{} system
+ (Figure~\ref{graph:setup-src},
+ \ifnum \Status = 1
+ on the right%
+ \else\ifnum \Status=2
+ at the bottom%
+ \else
+ on the right%
+ \fi\fi
+ ). You will need a \emph{local
+ source directory} and possibly a \emph{remote source directory}.
+
+Why do we need both these directories? The files consisting of the
+\TL{} system are on the \CD{}, of course, but some other useful
+packages are not, either because of space lacking or because their
+license was not compatible with \TL{}. You need to enable Internet
+downloading if you want to install these packages that are marked with a
+specific ``remote'' icon.
+
+ However, don't panic: the default parameters of the setup will allow
+ you to install a full system using the \CD{} only. Simply, you won't
+ have \file{WinEdt} (for example), but you will be able to install it
+ later.
+
+ So you can take your files from:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item the \CD{} or any similar flat tree of files, available through
+ some standard directory (this means the \CD{} can be mounted on
+ some remote machine and be made available through network
+ sharing),
+ \item a set of \file{.zip} files (this is the case when you are
+ installing from the demo \CD{} or the \fpTeX{} distribution),
+ \item the Internet; in this case, the program takes care of
+ downloading the \file{.zip} files it needs for you.
+ \end{itemize}
+ This option is available only if you enable Internet file
+ downloading in the right part of the page. You also need to
+ configure this Internet access by selecting to connect either using
+ Internet Explorer~5 \file{wininet.dll}, or using a direct connection (\texttt{ftp},
+ \texttt{http}).
+% or using a proxy server.
+% Last, you can be assisted in defining the \emph{local source
+% directory} and \emph{remote source directory} which will be used
+% to copy the files onto your hard disk. The \texttt{browse} buttons
+% allow to select a directory for the former, and an url among a list
+% of mirrors for the latter.
+\item[Root Page]
+ On this page, you will tell where you want the files to be
+ installed (Figure~\ref{graph:root-schm},
+ \ifnum \Status = 1
+ on the left%
+ \else\ifnum \Status=2
+ at the top%
+ \else
+ on the left%
+ \fi\fi
+ ). Only the root directory really matters, the other ones
+ are set according to the root one. You may want to make
+ \path|$TEXMFEXTRA| point to some TDS compliant directory with other
+ \TeX{} files or assign a different value to
+ \path|$HOMETEXMF|, which is set by default to whatever Windows think
+ is your `HOME' location.

+\end{figure*}
+\item[Get TPM Page]
+ This page does not require any manual intervention. The \file{.tpm}
+ files which describe collections and packages are retrieved
+ (possibly from the Internet), unzipped if needed and parsed.
+\item[Schemes Page]
+ On this page, you will select the global scheme of your
+ installation (Figure~\ref{graph:root-schm},
+ \ifnum \Status = 1
+ on the right%
+ \else\ifnum \Status=2
+ at the bottom%
+ \else
+ on the right%
+ \fi\fi
+ ). A scheme is a large set of files targeted at some kind
+ of usage. There are 3 generic schemes for basic, recommended and
+ full installation. The other ones are devoted to LUGs (what GUST or
+ GUTenberg propose for their members) or applications (XML and
+ \TeX{}).
+ When a scheme is selected, it is still possible to refine the
+ selection by checking the appropriate box. If doing so, you will be
+ presented the packages page to change your selection, else you will
+ jump to the review page.
+\item[Packages Page]
+ Collections and packages are presented in a tree form
+ (Figure~\ref{graph:win32-support},
+ \ifnum \Status = 1
+ on the left%
+ \else\ifnum \Status=2
+ at the top%
+ \else
+ on the left%
+ \fi\fi
+ ). The links
+ in the tree are dependency links. Collections \emph{depend on}
+ packages and maybe other collections, and it is the same for each
+ package. You can select any package or collection individually, but
+ your request will be granted only if the object is not requested by
+ another one which is selected. For example, you can't deselect
+ \texttt{tex-basic} without deselecting all the collections that
+ request it.
+
+ The \texttt{tex-xemtex} collection displayed on the picture is Win32 specific. It
+ holds a number of bonus packages (Figure~\ref{graph:win32-support},
+ \ifnum \Status = 1
+ on the right%
+ \else\ifnum \Status=2
+ at the bottom%
+ \else
+ on the right%
+ \fi\fi
+ ) which can be installed
+ automatically and individually: Ghostscript (the \PS{}
+ interpreter), XEmacs editor preconfigured for \TeX{}, tools like Perl,
+ ImageMagick, Ispell. \emph{None of these packages are selected by
+ default}.
+
+ On this page, you also have the information about disk space
+ needed, for each object, and for the set of those who are selected,
+ and also the disk space available on the partition selected for the
+ installation. Last, you can choose to install or not the
+ documentation files and source files associated with each package.
+\item[Review Page]
+ You will find there a summary of your choices
+ (Figure~\ref{graph:review},
+ \ifnum \Status = 1
+ on the left%
+ \else\ifnum \Status=2
+ at the top%
+ \else

+\section{Windows maintenance and post-installation}
+
+Although this version of \TL{} cannot be installed on Windows, enough of
+this section is relevant to existing installations or cross-mounted
+installations that it seemed worth leaving in.
+
+It will be thoroughly updated when a complete \TL{} Windows distribution
+is released. For now, please ignore references to
+\filename{TeXSetup.exe}, etc.
+
+
+\subsection{What's different in Windows?}
+
+The Windows version of \Webc{} has some specific features that should be
+pointed out.
+
+\begin{description}
+\item[\KPS{}] The hash-tables that \KPS{} builds are quite large for
+ the \TL{}. In order to cut down the starting time of any
+ \KPS{}-enabled program, these hash-tables have been put in shared
+ memory. This way, when you chain the execution of several such
+ programs, like \path|tex| calling \path|mpost| calling \path|tex|,
+ the overhead when starting each of the subprograms is
+ reduced. This change is hidden to the user, except if you set the
+ debug flag of kpathsea to the \path|-1| value: you will then trace
+ access to the shared memory, which is not what you want (it is
+ accessed very often!). What is useful in a log trace of the shared
+ memory access is still to be defined, so the situation might evolve
+ in the future.
+\item[\cmdname{kpsecheck}] This command provides some options that did
+ not fit well into \cmdname{kpsewhich}. It will allow you to list all
+ the files that occur multiple times across your texmf trees. This
+ could be handy, but most of the time you will also get unwanted
+ output (like dozens of \path|README| files)\footnote{It is noticeable
+ that all these files result in clashes inside the \KPS{}-hashing
+ mechanism; fortunately, \KPS{} never looks for these files.}. For
+ this reason, you can combine the \path|-multiple-occurrences| with 2
+ other options for including or excluding any filename that match
+ some pattern (you can request for several patterns).
+
+ The \cmdname{kpsecheck} command will also report the status of shared
+ memory: in use or not used. That might be useful to know because if
+ the status reported is \samp{in use}, that means one or several
+ processes are working, and the effect of any \cmdname{mktexlsr}
+ command will be delayed until the next time where no \KPS{} linked
+ process will be running.
+
+ Last, this same command will report about the location it thinks
+ Ghostscript can be found. Under Win32, for many programs, it is
+ easier to use the Ghostscript dll, and find it by using the
+ Ghostscript registry key than to change the \path|PATH|, which has a
+ limited length anyway.
+\item[\Webc{}] The engines have a few more options than in Unix
+ \Webc{}, and one option with a different behavior:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item \path|-halt-on-error| stop the compilation at the first error.
+ \item \path|-job-time| set the job time to the same timestamp as the
+ file given in argument.
+\item \path|-oem| use the DOS codepage for console output.
+ \item \path|-output-directory| allow to write all the output files in the
+ specified directory.
+ \item \path|-time-statistics| print statistics about the job run
+ time. It is to be noted that Win9x not being a true multitasking
+ operating system, it has no reliable timer for short periods, so
+ the value printed is an approximation. Under NT/2K/XP, the result
+ is quite accurate with user time and system time values allocated
+ for this run. For Unix
+ users: the \path|time| command is not usually available to Windows
+ users.
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{description}
+
+\subsection{Adding packages to your installation}
+
+You will find an option in the \guiseq{TeXLive} menu (or go to
+\guiseq{Start\arw Programs \arw TeXLive \arw Add TeX package} menu) to
+run \file{TeXSetup.exe} in maintenance mode. The steps are almost the
+same as in the initial installation.
+
+We'll discuss differences below, but first, whatever changes you make,
+\textbf{do not forget to rebuild the ls-R database files}. Otherwise,
+your new files will not be found. You can do this either via the
+\acro{GUI} (\guiseq{Start \arw Programs \arw TeXLive \arw Maintenance
+\arw Rebuild ls-R}), or manually running the \file{mktexlsr} command.
+
+The main difference is in the packages selection page. In maintenance
+mode, the list of installed packages is compared to the list of packages
+available from your source directories. Packages that are not installed
+will be displayed in green, out of date packages will be displayed in
+red and up-to-date, installed packages are displayed in black.
+
+This way, you can choose to add or upgrade components, either from
+\TL{} or from the Internet, where you are likely to find some more
+recent version of your packages.
+
+It is up to you to select which packages you want to install. The rest
+of the process is similar to the first installation.
+
+If you want to add files that are not provided by the \TL{} (or
+\fpTeX{}) distribution, it is recommended to put them in the
+\path|$TEXMFLOCAL| directory. This way, you will be safe against
+upgrades of the \TL{} software.
+
+The directory pointed to by \path|$TEXMFLOCAL| is initially empty. If,
+for example, you want to add the support file for the Maple symbolic
+computation program, you will have to put the style files in:\\
+\path|c:\Program Files\TeXLive\texmf-local\tex\latex\maple\|\\ and the
+documentation files in:\\ \path|c:\Program
+Files\TeXLive\texmf-local\doc\latex\maple\|
+
+\subsection{Uninstalling \protect\TL{}}
+
+The uninstall procedure is available either from the \file{TeXLive.exe}
+program, from the \path|TeXLive| menu or from the control panel
+(\guiseq{Start \arw Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs}). This procedure
+will cleanup your hard disk of most of the \TL{} files. However,
+\TeX{} is a system that is creating files and there is no mechanism to
+keep track of all of them. Moreover, Win32 support packages have their
+own uninstall procedure, which you will have to run separately (provided
+you want to get rid of them). Last, the files you may have stored in
+\path|$TEXMFLOCAL| won't be removed. So, even if the vast majority of
+files are automatically removed by the uninstall procedure, you will
+have to do some manual cleanup to actually remove all of them.
+
+\subsection{Running \texttt{TeXSetup.exe} from the command line}
+
+The \path|TeXSetup.exe| program has a number of other useful
+options. You can get the list by running:
+\begin{verbatim}
+c:\>TeXSetup --help
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Here is the description:
+\begin{description}
+\item[\path|--automatic-reboot|] reboot without waiting user
+ confirmation once installation is over;
+\item[\path|--dry-run|] do nothing, just log everything that will be
+ done without this option;
+\item[\path|--quick|] use the recommended installation and default
+ directories, ask nothing up to rebooting;
+\item[\path|--with-xemtex|] selects the \XEmTeX{} bundle;
+\item[\path|--net-method (=ie5/direct)|] enable to download components with
+ restricted licenses from the Internet (either using direct
+ connection of Internet Explorer 5 DLLs): you need to have an available
+ network connection and some of the packages are huge;
+\item[\path|--remote-source-directory <url>|] this is the base url for the remote packages;
+\item[\path|--local-source-directory <dir>|] by default, \path|TeXSetup.exe|
+ will guess the root directory of the set of files you want it to act on, if you ever
+ upgrade \path|TeXSetup.exe|, you won't be able to copy the new version
+ onto your \CD{}, so you will need to use this option to specify the
+ root of the \CD{};
+\item[\path|--installation-directory <dir>|] this is the root of your
+ installation, all files will be copied under this location. The
+ default value is \verb+c:\Program Files\TL+;
+\item[\path|--texmfmain-directory <dir>|]
+\item[\path|--texmflocal-directory <dir>|]
+\item[\path|--texmfextra-directory <dir>|]
+\item[\path|--texmfhome-directory <dir>|]
+\item[\path|--vartexmf-directory <dir>|]
+\item[\path|--vartexfonts-directory <dir>|] these are the directories
+ used to configure the location of your files. They map directly to
+ the \path|texmf.cnf| variables.
+\item[\path|--with-source-files(=yes/no)|] copy the source files
+ for \TeX{} packages, default value is no;
+\item[\path|--with-documentation-files(=yes/no)|] copy documentation files for \TeX{}
+ packages. Default value is yes. Beware: this is only documentation about specific
+ packages, general documentation will be installed anyway;
+\item[\path|--program-folder <folder>|] the name of the folder under
+ which you will find the menus;
+\item[\path|--add-package <pkg>|] this is used to add or update a specific
+ package after a first regular installation;
+\item[\path|--scheme <pkg>|] install the named scheme instead of the
+ default \path|texlive-recommended| scheme;
+\item[\path|--maintenance|] mostly the same as \path|--add-package|
+ without specifying a package to add;
+\item[\path|--uninstall|] this option will remove anything \TeX{} related coming from
+ the \CD{}, which means there can be files left if you added style
+ files or format files, and also that supplementary tools will not be
+ removed. This option is still a bit crude in this release;
+\item[\path|--help|] this option opens up a box with the list of options.
+\end{description}
+
+\subsection{Network installation}
+
+\KPS{} knows about UNC names, so you can use them to get your TEXMF
+tree from the network. But there is better than this.
+All the support files and configuration files, everything except the files in the
+\path|bin/win32| are shareable with a \teTeX{} or Unix \TL{} installation. That means
+you can use Samba either to mount from an NT server to a Unix
+workstation or the converse. Several strategies are possible:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Put everything on the server. Just add each set of files for the os and
+architecture you want to use in the \path|bin| directory. That means
+for example \path|bin/win32| and \path|bin/i386-linux|. Next configure
+your main variables. You can use UNC names to
+point to the right directories under Win32.
+\item Install a local copy for the binaries and format files. In this
+ case, assign \path|$TEXMFMAIN| to the main \path|texmf| tree that
+ will be accessed remotely. Set \path|$VARTEXMF| to be a local
+ directory which will hold local configuration files and on-the-fly
+ generated files.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsection{Personal configurations}
+
+\subsubsection{Dvips}
+
+The configuration file for dvips can be found in\\
+\verb+C:\Program Files\TeXLive\texmf-var\dvips\config\config.ps+\\
+You may open it with any editor
+ %(\cmdname{WinShell} will do fine)
+ and change some parameters:
+
+\begin{description}
+\item [fonts] you can change the default printer \MF{} mode or printer
+ resolution in case \cmdname{dvips} needs to generate PK fonts. By default it
+ is configured to use Type~1 versions of the CM fonts, so it should
+ not call \cmdname{mktexpk} too often;
+\item[printer] you can tell dvips where you want to print by default. If
+ the \optname{o} option is not followed by a printer name, then a
+ \file{.ps} \PS{} file is written. You can give dvips a printer
+ name such as:
+\begin{verbatim}
+o lpt1:
+% o | lpr -S server -P myprinter
+% o \\server\myprinter
+\end{verbatim}
+\item[paper] Next, you might want
+ to change the paper size from European (A4) to US letter
+ by making the US letter the first paper size mentioned in the file.
+ Scroll to the group of lines beginning with \code{@}. Move
+ the appropriate lines so that this section begins with the lines:\\
+\hspace*{1em} @ letterSize 8.5in 11in\\
+\hspace*{1em} @ letter 8.5in 11in\\
+\hspace*{1em} @+ \%\%BeginPaperSize: Letter\\
+\hspace*{1em} @+ letter\\
+\hspace*{1em} @+ \%\%EndPaperSize
+\end{description}
+
+The current \TL{} distribution implements the procedure of making
+always up-to-date fontmaps files for Dvips and Pdftex. This is done by
+the \cmdname{updmap} program during installation, as well as during any
+font package addition. If you add new packages by hand, edit the file
+\verb+updmap.cfg+ in \path|$VARTEXMF/web2c|.
+
+\subsubsection{Pdftex}
+
+If you use the program pdf{}latex to write \acro{PDF} format directly,
+and you are using \acro{US} letter-size paper, edit the file
+\verb+C:\Program Files\TeXLive\texmf-var\tex\generic\config\pdftexconfig.tex+ and
+change \samp{\bs pdfpagewidth} and \samp{\bs pdfpageheight}. These entries should read:
+\begin{alltt}
+\bs{}pdfpagewidth=8.5 true in
+\bs{}pdfpageheight=11 true in
+\end{alltt}
+Save the file and exit the editor.
+
+\subsubsection{GSView}
+GSView is now distributed under the Aladdin License, and therefore is no longer included in
+\TL{}.
+
+If you may want to change the page size to US letter size. If so, open
+GSView from the \guiseq{Start} menu, and select \guiseq{Media\arw Letter}.
+
+Also, there are menu settings that are supposed to give you the most
+readable screen image. On \guiseq{Media \arw Display Settings}, set both
+\optname{Text Alpha} and \optname{Graphics Alpha} to 4~bits.
+
+Note that the installation process has set all \code{.ps} and
+\code{.eps} files to automatically open with \cmdname{GSView}.
+
+For printing instructions, see section~\ref{printing} below.
+
+\subsubsection{WinDvi}
+\label{sub:windvi}
+
+The \file{TeXSetup.exe} program takes care of associating the files
+with the \file{.dvi} extension with \file{Windvi}.
+
+Open it with \guiseq{Start\arw Programs\arw TeXLive\arw DVI Viewer}.
+
+You can set it for US letter-size paper by going to \guiseq{View\arw
+Options\arw Papertype} and selecting US (8.5\verb+"+ x 11\verb+"+) (and
+then \optname{OK}. Exit \cmdname{windvi}.
+
+You can change other parameters from there as well, such as the ability
+to execute system commands specified by the document (disabled by
+default for security reasons). Also, the first time you view any .dvi
+file, you may find the magnification too large. Zoom out until you get
+an appropriate size.
+
+%There are two important parameters related to printing that can't yet
+%be set from the dialog boxes, namely the resolution and the \MF{} mode
+%for the printer. You can set them once for all by specifying them on
+%the command line:
+%\begin{verbatim}
+%c:\>windvi -p 360 -mfmode canonbjc foo.dvi
+%\end{verbatim}
+%When you will exit Windvi, these parameters will be stored in the
+%configuration file. The available modes are found in this file:\\
+%\path|c:\Program Files\TeXLive\texmf\metafont\misc\modes.mf|
+
+All configuration settings for \cmdname{Windvi} are stored in a file
+named \path|windvi.cnf| file. You can find it by running this command at
+the prompt:
+\begin{verbatim}
+c:\>kpsewhich --expand-var $HOME/windvi.cnf
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Should you have problems with \cmdname{Windvi}, please remove the configuration
+file and test your problem against a vanilla configuration.
+
+\subsection{Testing}
+
+For generic verification procedures, see section~\ref{sec:test-install}
+(\p.\pageref{sec:test-install}). This section describes
+Windows-specific tests.
+
+Open the file \verb+sample2e.tex+ in your editor (Xemacs, WinShell),
+found in \path|C:\Local\TeX\texmf\tex\latex\base|. The \LaTeX\ source
+should appear on the screen. Process it by clicking on the
+\guiseq{Command\arw LaTeX} menu (XEmacs) or \LaTeX\ icon on the toolbar
+(WinShell), then view it by clicking on the \guiseq{Command\arw View DVI}
+menu (XEmacs) or Preview (Windvi) icon (WinShell).
+
+At first, when you preview files with Windvi, it will create fonts because
+screen fonts were not installed. After a while, you will have created most
+of the fonts you use, and you will rarely see the font-creation window.
+
+\textbf{Hint for the future:} If a \LaTeX\ run stops because \LaTeX\
+cannot find a file, you can press Ctrl-z to quit.
+
+
+\subsection{Printing}
+\label{printing}
+
+It is possible to print from Windvi. In this case, printing will be done
+using the Windows unified printer driver. By definition, it is
+compatible with all printers. However, there is some drawback: it can
+generate some huge spool files, and some (older) versions of Windows
+just don't like them. The advantage is that you can use features like
+embedding BMP or WMF images. You also need to make sure that the printer
+parameters are correctly set (subsection~\ref{sub:windvi}), else you
+will get scaled printing (printing at 600\dpi{} on a 300\dpi{} printer
+will give you only one quadrant of your page).
+
+
+Printing is faster and more reliable if you run \cmdname{dvips} to make
+a \filename{.ps} file and then print from \cmdname{GSView}. In
+\cmdname{GSview}, select \guiseq{File\arw Print\ldots}. A \guiseq{Print}
+window will appear.
+
+If you are using a \PS{} printer, \textit{be sure to select
+\guiseq{\PS{} Printer}}. This is done in the \guiseq{Print Method} box
+at the bottom left of the \guiseq{Print} window. You can then select any
+of the printers that you have previously installed. If you fail to
+check the box for \optname{\PS{} Printer}, printing will not work.
+
+If you will be using your own non-\PS{} printer, select
+\guiseq{Ghostscript device} in the \guiseq{Print Method} box, then click
+on the button to the right labelled \guiseq{djet500} and select your
+printer type from the list that pops up. (In the older version of
+\cmdname{GSView}, make sure \optname{\PS{} Printer} is \textit{not}
+selected, then select your printer type from the \guiseq{Device} list.)
+
+\subsection{Tips and tricks for Win32}
+
+\subsubsection{Different flavors of Win32}
+
+What we call Win32 is not an operating system by itself. It is a large
+set of functions (around 12,000 in the header files of the Microsoft
+\acro{SDK}) that you can use to write programs for different operating
+systems of the Windows family.
+
+Windows comes in different flavors:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Win95, Win98 and Win\acro{ME}, which \emph{are not true multitasking,
+ multithreading} environments. They are the latest\Dash and hopefully
+ last\Dash metamorphosis of \acro{DOS}. This can be more or less proven
+ by the fact that when booting, the PC will load the \path|command.com|
+ interpreter, and if you stop the boot process at this point, you can
+ ask for the current (\acro{DOS}) version and it will answer something
+ like \samp{MS-DOS 7.0} (at least for the old versions of Win9x).
+\item Windows \acro{NT}, which is a new operating system written from
+ scratch, capable of true multitasking behavior, and including many
+ high level features.
+\item Windows 2000, based on \acro{NT}, with all the bells and
+ whistles of Win98.
+\item Windows \acro{XP}, which comes with Personal and Pro flavors. This is
+ the last step in merging both lines of products (Win9x based and
+ \acro{NT} based). \acro{XP} is based on \acro{NT}.
+\end{itemize}
+
+Win9x are able to run 32~bits programs and 16~bits programs
+concurrently. But the operating system by itself is not entirely
+written in 32~bits mode, and does not support memory protection: 16bits
+applications can overwrite parts of the operating system memory! Some
+parts of the system like the \acro{GDI} (Graphical Device Interface)
+manage limited resources like bitmaps, fonts, pens and so on for the set
+of all programs that run concurrently. All the bitmaps headers available
+at the same time can't amount for more than 64kB. This explains the
+performance tool and the fact that you can put your system on his knees
+by making intensive use of graphic objects for example.
+
+NT, 2K and XP do not suffer from these limitations, and neither from
+other Win9x limitations. They are true multitasking environments, with
+protected memory. They are much more responsive than Win9x because
+of better memory management, better file system and so on.
+
+\subsubsection{Command line prompt}
+
+You may wonder, ``Why would I need to use a command line prompt when
+I have Windows?''
+
+Good question. The problem is of very general nature. Not all operations
+can be done easily using only a \acro{GUI}. Command line gives you
+programming power\Dash assuming a clever command interpreter.
+
+But the problem here is more fundamental: \TeX{} is \emph{a batch}
+tool. Not an interactive one. \TeX{} needs to compute the best
+layout for each page, resolve cross-references and so on. This can be
+done only by a global processing of the document. It is not (yet) a
+task that can be done interactively.
+
+This means that you should use \TeX{} from a command line. In fact the
+situation is not so bad. There is an advantage to write command line
+tools for complex processing: they are better debugged, because they are
+independent of any \acro{GUI} problems, and \acro{GUI} tools can be
+designed to interface to the command line tools. This is the case for
+\TeX{}, where you will mostly interact with it through a \acro{GUI} text
+editor.
+
+However, you may need to use the command line prompt in a number of
+situations. One is when you are having difficulties and want to debug
+your setup.
+
+\begin{description}
+ \item[Win9x] You can open a command line prompt by looking either for
+ the \acro{MS-DOS} icon in the \guiseq{Start\arw Programs} menu,
+ or by choosing \guiseq{Start\arw Run} menu typing in
+ \path|command.com| as the progrm name.
+ \item[NT, 2K, XP] You can open a command line prompt by looking for
+ \guiseq{Command Prompt} in the \guiseq{Start\arw Accessories} menu.
+ You can also choose \guiseq{Start\arw Run} and type in
+ \path|cmd.exe|, which is the name of the brand new command
+ interpreter for \acro{NT} (thus, it is untrue to call this a
+ \emph{DOS} box!).
+\end{description}
+
+These locations may change across different Windows versions.
+
+
+\subsubsection{Path separators}
+
+The Win32 API understands both \path|/| and \path|\| characters as PATH
+separators. But the command interpreters do not! So whenever a path name
+is used programmatically, you can use both separators, and even mix them
+up in the same path name. But on the command line, you must type
+\path|\| as path separator. The reason is compatibility: the command
+processor used \samp{/} to introduce arguments to commands.
+
+All this to say: do not be surprised to read path names written using
+the Unix convention; \fpTeX{} is a port of \Webc, and aims to be compatible
+across platforms. For this reason, all the configuration files that
+need to specify path names use the Unix convention.
+
+\subsubsection{File systems}
+\label{sec:clusters}
+
+The worst feature of Win9x with regard to \TeX{} is probably the
+so-called FAT file system. \TeX{} uses very many small files, with size
+around 1--3kB. The \acro{FAT} file system is old, and predates by
+decades the multi-gigabytes hard disks we have today. As a result, it
+cannot manage efficiently the tens of thousands of \TeX{} files found in
+\TL{}. The \acro{FAT} file system allocates a minimum of 32kB for
+\emph{any} file on a huge partition. It means that \TeX{} will use much
+more disk space than it actually needs.
+
+The other, more modern, file systems available, \acro{FAT32} and
+\acro{NTFS}, do not have this drawback. They manage clusters of 4kB
+only. (You can lower the limit to 512 bytes on \acro{NTFS}.)
+
+\subsubsection{How to add some directory to your PATH}
+
+There are pairs of variables and values which behave much like global
+variables inside your programs. The set of those variables is called the
+environment. Each program is initialized with a copy of the
+environment when it is run. It can request and change the
+value of any variable. The changes happen in the copy of the
+environment, and is not at all propagated to the other running
+programs.
+
+Your PATH is a special environment variable used to search for
+programs you want to run.
+There is a different procedure to change it for Win9x, WinME and NT/2K/XP:
+
+\begin{description}
+\item[Windows 95/98] Edit your \path|autoexec.bat|. In this file should be a line
+ starting with \texttt{PATH=} and followed by a list of directories separated
+ by \path|;|. Please add the directory with the executables in this line.
+ After this, this line could look as follows:
+\begin{verbatim}
+PATH=c:\windows;c:\windows\system;c:\"Program Files"\TL\bin\win32
+\end{verbatim}
+\item[Windows ME] You need to run the special program
+ \path|c:\windows\system\msconfig.exe| to be able to change any
+ environment variable. From this program, select the `Environment'
+ tab, and then add or modify the variable you want. You will be asked to reboot the
+ machine upon any change.
+\item[Windows NT/2K/XP]
+ Click left on \guiseq{Start \arw Settings \arw Control Panel}. Now the
+ window with the control panel icons opens. Double click on System. The
+ System Properties window opens. Click on the tab \textsf{Environment}
+ or look for a button named \guiseq{Environment Variables} among the
+ dialog boxes. Now you can change the environment variables for your
+ user account. Note: There are also displayed the environment settings
+ for the system. Normally, you can't change the system variables
+ unless you have administrator rights on your machine. If you want to
+ change the \texttt{PATH} for all users, you will have to contact your
+ system administrator or be the system administrator yourself\Dash in
+ the latter case you should know what you are doing.
+
+ If there is already a \texttt{PATH} setting for your user account,
+ left click on \texttt{PATH}. In the field \textsf{Variable} appears
+ \texttt{PATH} while the field Value shows the current setting of
+ \texttt{PATH} as a list of directories separated by \path|;|. Add
+ the directory where the executables are located (e.g.
+ \path|c:\Program Files\TeXLive\bin\win32|). If there isn't a \texttt{PATH} variable
+ for your user account, simply click in the field Variable and type
+ in \texttt{PATH}, click in the field \textsf{Value}
+ and type in the directory with the executables. Important: Click on
+ the \textsf{Apply} button before clicking \textsf{Ok}, otherwise the
+ changes to \texttt{PATH} won't apply to your system. Be careful when
+ changing the environment settings.
+\end{description}
+
+The best way to be sure that a variable has been properly set is to
+open a console and type:
+\begin{verbatim}
+set VARIABLE
+\end{verbatim}
+which should return the corresponding value.
+
+\subsubsection{\TeX{} engines}
+
+If you have a look at the \Webc{} documentation, you will read that all
+the various \TeX{} derived programs use the same base engine. For
+example, \path|tex.exe| and \path|latex.exe| are exact copies of the
+same program, but each one will use a different format file, based on
+its calling name.
+
+Under Unix, this feature is implemented through \emph{symbolic
+links}. It saves up a bit of disk space, because some engines are
+used with many different format files.
+
+The Win32 API does not know about file links. So to save up almost
+the same amount of memory, all the \TeX{} base engines have been put
+in DLLs (\emph{Dynamic Linked Library}). This means that you will have
+the following layout:
+\begin{alltt}
+13/05/2002 17:06 3 584 latex.exe
+13/05/2002 17:06 266 240 tex.dll
+13/05/2002 17:06 3 584 tex.exe
+\end{alltt}
+and the \path|latex.exe| file is nothing but a rough copy of
+\path|tex.exe| using the same core \path|tex.dll|.
+The same trick has been used for the \path|mktex*.exe| family of programs which are
+linked to the \path|mktex.dll| library.
+
+In fact, a generic tool called \path|lnexe.exe| is provided to build the
+equivalent of Unix hard links for executable files only under Win32.
+
+\subsection{In case of problems}
+\label{sec:troubleshooting}
+
+\subsubsection{What to do if \texttt{latex} does not find your files?}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item \cmdname{kpsewhich} is the tool of choice to debug any
+problem. Unfortunately, \cmdname{kpsewhich} outputs debug information
+to stderr, and the Windows console does not know how to redirect stderr
+to a file\footnote{Well, NT and Win2k consoles know how to do that. But
+the trick will work for any console.}. For diagnostic purposes you can
+temporarily set an environment variable (in a \acro{DOS} box):
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+SET KPATHSEA_DEBUG_OUTPUT=err.log
+\end{verbatim}
+You can also set the debug level:
+\begin{verbatim}
+SET KPATHSEA_DEBUG=-1
+\end{verbatim}
+
+If you want to redirect stderr to stdout, which is not possible
+Windows, then do:
+\begin{verbatim}
+SET KPATHSEA_DEBUG_OUTPUT=con:
+\end{verbatim}
+This way you can capture both stdout and stderr in the same file.
+
+\item Assuming the installation has been done in \path|c:/Program Files/TeXLive|, check
+ the following values: \\
+ {\small
+ \begin{tabular}{ll}
+ \path|kpsewhich -expand-path $SELFAUTOPARENT| & \path|c:/Program Files/TeXLive| \\
+ \path|kpsewhich -expand-path $TEXMF| & \path|c:/Program Files/TeXLive/texmf| \\
+ \path|kpsewhich -expand-path $TEXMFCNF| &
+ \path|.;c:/Program Files/TeXLive/texmf/web2c;| \\
+ & \path|c:/Program Files/TeXLive/bin/win32;| \\
+ & \path|c:/Program Files/TeXLive/bin;| \\
+ & \path|c:/Program Files/TeXLive| \\
+ \path|kpsewhich -expand-var $TEXINPUTS| & \path|.;c:/Program Files/TeXLive/texmf/tex//|
+ \end{tabular}
+}
+\item If you have other \TeX{}-related values already set in your
+ environment, please, remove them. They are overriding the ones in
+ texmf.cnf.
+\item Check the values from:\\
+{\small
+ \begin{tabular}{ll}
+ \texttt{kpsewhich cmr10.tfm} & \path|c:/Program Files/TeXLive/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/cm/cmr10.tfm|\\
+ \texttt{kpsewhich latex.fmt}& \path|c:/Program Files/TeXLive/texmf/web2c/latex.fmt|
+ \end{tabular}
+}
+\item At this point, if everything is correct, \TeX{} and friends
+ should work. If it is not the case, you will need to play with
+ the \path|-debug=n| option from \path|kpsewhich|, and check back all
+ the values. Try to identify and report the problem.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsubsection{What to do if your setup still does not work as expected?}
+
+Here are several questions to investigate:
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item Is \file{tex.exe} in my \path|PATH|?
+
+\item Is the \path|TEXMFCNF| variable correctly set to
+\path|c:/Program Files/TeXLive/texmf-var/web2c| (default value)?
+
+\item Are there any errors in the log file generated by the
+\file{TeXSetup.exe} program? You can find this by searching for the
+string \samp{Error}.
+
+\item Are there any relevant bug fixes at \url{http://tug.org/texlive/}?
+(Unlikely, but it doesn't hurt to check.)
+
+\item Check the web pages at
+\url{http://www.fptex.org/}, or consider subscribing to the \fpTeX{}
+mailing list, via \url{http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/fptex}.
+
+\end{enumerate}
+
+
+The \TL{} software consists of hundreds of programs and tens of
+thousands of files, all from varying sources. So it is quite difficult to
+predict all possible causes for problems. Nevertheless, we will do our
+best to help you. (See section~\ref{sec:help}, \p.\pageref{sec:help}.)
+
+
+\subsection{Compiling the source files}
+
+The whole set of source files is available in the distribution as the
+\path|source/source.tar.bz2| archive, together with a separate source
+archive for Windows. To be able to compile the whole distribution for
+Windows, you will need:
+
+\begin{itemize*}
+\item Windows 2K/XP
+\item Microsoft Visual Studio .Net 2003
+\item a set of Unix tools (\texttt{sed},
+ \texttt{grep}, \texttt{gawk}, etc.) and also Perl, Flex and Bison,
+\item to adjust the paths in the
+ \path|win32/make/common.mak| file according to your installation
+\item to adjust the paths in the Perl script file
+ \path|win32/perl/build.pl|,
+\item run the compilation from the \path|mswin32/| directory using this
+ command:
+\begin{verbatim}
+c:\texlive\source\mswin32>perl ./perl/build.pl --install --log=install.log
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{itemize*}
+
+There is a lot of work to do to make this process easier and cleaner.
+
+\subsection{Where to get more information}
+
+The Windows \TeX{} system included on \TL{} is also known as
+\fpTeX. The packaging differs, but \fpTeX{} is no more no less than the
+current \TL\ release for Windows.
+
+The \fpTeX{} home page is \url{http://www.fptex.org}.
+
+The current \fpTeX release is available from any \CTAN site in
+\url{htp://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/win32/fptex}.
+
+The main ftp site for \fpTeX\ is \url{ftp://ftp.dante.de/pub/fptex/}
+from where beta versions of \fpTeX\ and additionnal tools are available.
+This main site is (partially) mirrored daily by all \CTAN{} sites at
+\path|systems/win32/fptex|.
+
+The \TeX{} Users Group is kindly hosting a mailing list dedicated to
+\fpTeX. It is used for announcements, bug reports, enhancement requests,
+and general discussion about \fpTeX. To subscribe, visit
+\url{http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/fptex}. The mailing list
+address is \email{fptex@tug.org}.

+% don't use \Webc so the \uppercase in the headline works.
+\section{A user's guide to Web2C}
+
+\Webc{} is an integrated collection of \TeX-related programs: \TeX{}
+itself, \MF{}, \MP, \BibTeX{}, etc. It is the heart of \TL{}.
+
+A bit of history: The original implementation was by Tomas Rokicki who,
+in 1987, developed a first \TeX{}-to-C system based on change files
+under Unix, which were primarily the original work of Howard Trickey and
+Pavel Curtis. Tim Morgan became the maintainer of the system, and
+during this period the name changed to Web-to-C\@. In 1990, Karl Berry
+took over the work, assisted by dozens of additional contributors, and
+in 1997 he handed the baton to Olaf Weber.
+
+The \Webc{} system runs on Unix, 32-bit Windows systems, \MacOSX{}, and
+other operating systems. It uses Knuth's original sources for \TeX{} and
+other basic programs written in \web{} and translates them into C source
+code. The core \TeX{} programs are:
+
+\begin{cmddescription}
+\item[bibtex] Maintaining bibliographies.
+\item[dmp] \cmdname{troff} to MPX (\MP{} pictures).
+\item[dvicopy] Expands virtual font references in \dvi{} files.
+\item[dvitomp] \dvi{} to MPX (MetaPost pictures).
+\item[dvitype] \dvi{} to human-readable text.
+\item[gftodvi] Generic font proofsheets.
+\item[gftopk] Generic to packed fonts.
+\item[gftype] GF to human-readable text.
+\item[makempx] \MP{} label typesetting.
+\item[mf] Creating typeface families.
+\item[mft] Prettyprinting \MF{} source.
+\item[mpost] Creating technical diagrams.
+\item[mpto] MetaPost label extraction.
+\item[newer] Compare modification times.
+\item[patgen] Creating hyphenation patterns.
+\item[pktogf] Packed to generic fonts.
+\item[pktype] PK to human-readable text.
+\item[pltotf] Plain text property list to TFM.
+\item[pooltype] Display \web{} pool files.
+\item[tangle] \web{} to Pascal.
+\item[tex] Typesetting.
+\item[tftopl] TFM to plain text property list.
+\item[vftovp] Virtual font to virtual property list.
+\item[vptovf] Virtual property list to virtual font.
+\item[weave] \web{} to \TeX.
+\end{cmddescription}
+
+\noindent The precise functions and syntax of these programs are
+described in the documentation of the individual packages and of \Webc{}
+itself. However, knowing a few principles governing the whole family of
+programs will help you take advantage of your \Webc{} installation.
+
+All programs honor these standard \acro{GNU} options:
+\begin{ttdescription}
+\item[-{}-help] print basic usage summary.
+\item[-{}-verbose] print detailed progress report.
+\item[-{}-version] print version information, then exit.
+\end{ttdescription}
+
+For locating files the \Webc{} programs use the path searching library
+\KPS{}. This library uses a combination of environment variables and a
+configuration files to optimize searching the (huge) collection of
+\TeX{} files. \Webc{} can look at more than one directory tree
+simultaneously, which is useful in maintaining \TeX's standard
+distribution and local extensions in two distinct trees. To speed up
+file searches the root of each tree has a file \file{ls-R}, containing
+an entry showing the name and relative pathname for all files under that
+root.
+
+\subsection{Kpathsea path searching}
+
+Let us first describe the generic path searching mechanism of the \KPS{}
+library.
+
+We call a \emph{search path} a colon- or semicolon\hyph sepa\-rated list
+of \emph{path elements}, which are basically directory names. A
+search path can come from (a combination of) many sources. To look up
+a file \samp{my-file} along a path \samp{.:/dir}, \KPS{} checks each
+element of the path in turn: first \file{./my-file}, then
+\file{/dir/my-file}, returning the first match (or possibly all
+matches).
+
+In order to adapt optimally to all operating systems' conventions, on
+non-Unix systems \KPS{} can use filename separators different from
+colon (\samp{:}) and slash (\samp{/}).
+
+To check a particular path element \var{p}, \KPS{} first checks if a
+prebuilt database (see ``Filename data\-base'' on
+page~\pageref{Filename-database}) applies to \var{p}, i.e., if the database
+is in a directory that is a prefix of \var{p}. If so, the path
+specification is matched against the contents of the database.
+
+If the database does not exist, or does not apply to this path
+element, or contains no matches, the filesystem is searched (if this
+was not forbidden by a specification starting with \samp{!!}\ and if
+the file being searched for must exist). \KPS{} constructs the list
+of directories that correspond to this path element, and then checks
+in each for the file being sought.
+
+The ``file must exist'' condition comes into play with \samp{.vf} files and
+input files read by \TeX's \cs{openin} command. Such files may not
+exist (e.g., \file{cmr10.vf}), and so it would be wrong to search the
+disk for them. Therefore, if you fail to update \file{ls-R} when you
+install a new \samp{.vf} file, it will never be found.
+Each path element is checked in turn: first the database, then the
+disk. If a match is found, the search stops and the result is
+returned.
+
+Although the simplest and most common path element is a directory
+name, \KPS{} supports additional features in search paths: layered
+default values, environment variable names, config file values, users'
+home directories, and recursive subdirectory searching. Thus, we say
+that \KPS{} \emph{expands} a path element, meaning it transforms all
+the specifications into basic directory name or names. This is
+described in the following sections in the same order as it takes
+place.
+
+Note that if the filename being searched for is absolute or explicitly
+relative, i.e., starts with \samp{/} or \samp{./} or \samp{../},
+\KPS{} simply checks if that file exists.

+\fi
+
+\subsubsection{Path sources}
+\label{Path-sources}
+
+A search path can come from many sources. In the order in which
+\KPS{} uses them:
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item
+ A user-set environment variable, for instance, \envname{TEXINPUTS}\@.
+ Environment variables with a period and a program name appended
+ override; e.g., if \samp{latex} is the name of the program being run,
+ then \envname{TEXINPUTS.latex} will override \envname{TEXINPUTS}.
+\item
+ A program-specific configuration file, for exam\-ple, a line
+ \samp{S /a:/b} in \cmdname{dvips}'s \file{config.ps}.
+\item A \KPS{} configuration file \file{texmf.cnf}, containing a line like
+ \samp{TEXINPUTS=/c:/d} (see below).
+\item The compile-time default.
+\end{enumerate}
+\noindent You can see each of these values for a given
+search path by using the debugging options (see ``Debugging actions''
+on page~\pageref{Debugging}).
+
+\subsubsection{Config files}
+
+\begingroup\tolerance=3500
+\KPS{} reads \emph{runtime configuration files} named \file{texmf.cnf}
+for search path and other definitions. The search path used to look
+for these files is named \envname{TEXMFCNF} (by default such a file lives
+in the \file{texmf/web2c} subdirectory). \emph{All}
+\file{texmf.cnf} files in the search path will be read and definitions
+in earlier files override those in later files. Thus, with a search
+path of \verb|.:$TEXMF|, values from \file{./texmf.cnf} override those
+from \verb|$TEXMF/texmf.cnf|.
+\endgroup
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item
+ Comments start with \code{\%} and continue to the end of the line.
+\item
+ Blank lines are ignored.
+\item
+ A \bs{} at the end of a line acts as a continuation character,
+ i.e., the next line is appended. Whitespace at the beginning of
+ continuation lines is not ignored.
+\item
+ Each remaining line has the form:
+\begin{alltt}
+ \var{variable}[.\var{progname}] [=] \var{value}
+\end{alltt}%
+ where the \samp{=} and surrounding whitespace are optional.
+\item
+ The \ttvar{variable} name may contain any character other
+ than whitespace, \samp{=}, or \samp{.}, but sticking to
+ \samp{A-Za-z\_} is safest.
+\item
+ If \samp{.\var{progname}} is present, the definition only
+ applies if the program that is running is named
+ \texttt{\var{progname}} or \texttt{\var{progname}.exe}. This allows
+ different flavors of \TeX{} to have different search paths, for
+ example.
+\item \var{value} may contain any characters except
+ \code{\%} and \samp{@}. The
+ \code{\$\var{var}.\var{prog}} feature is not available on the
+ right-hand side; instead, you must use an additional variable. A
+ \samp{;}\ in \var{value} is translated to \samp{:}\ if
+ running under Unix; this is useful to be able to have a single
+ \file{texmf.cnf} for Unix, \acro{MS-DOS} and Windows systems.
+\item
+ All definitions are read before anything is expanded, so
+ variables can be referenced before they are defined.
+\end{itemize}
+A configuration file fragment illustrating most of these points is
+\ifSingleColumn
+shown below:
+
+\verbatiminput{examples/ex5.tex}
+\else
+shown in Figure~\ref{fig:config-sample}.
+\fi
+
+\subsubsection{Path expansion}
+\label{Path-expansion}
+
+
+\KPS{} recognizes certain special characters and constructions in
+search paths, similar to those available in Unix shells. As a
+general example, the complex path,
+\verb+~$USER/{foo,bar}//baz+, expands to all subdirectories under
+directories \file{foo} and \file{bar} in \texttt{\$USER}'s home
+directory that contain a directory or file \file{baz}. These
+expansions are explained in the sections below.
+%$
+\subsubsection{Default expansion}
+\label{Default-expansion}
+
+\tolerance=2500
+If the highest-priority search path (see ``Path sources'' on
+page~\pageref{Path-sources}) contains an \emph{extra colon} (i.e.,
+leading, trailing, or doubled), \KPS{} inserts at that point the
+next-highest-prio\-rity search path that is defined. If that inserted
+path has an extra colon, the same happens with the next highest. For
+example, given an environment variable setting
+
+\tolerance=1500
+
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{setenv TEXINPUTS /home/karl:}
+\end{alltt}
+and a \code{TEXINPUTS} value from \file{texmf.cnf} of
+
+\begin{alltt}
+ .:\$TEXMF//tex
+\end{alltt}
+then the final value used for searching will be:
+
+\begin{alltt}
+ /home/karl:.:\$TEXMF//tex
+\end{alltt}
+
+Since it would be useless to insert the default value in more than one
+place, \KPS{} changes only one extra \samp{:}\ and leaves any others in
+place. It checks first for a leading \samp{:}, then a trailing
+\samp{:}, then a doubled \samp{:}.
+
+\subsubsection{Brace expansion}
+
+A useful feature is brace expansion, which means that, for instance,
+\verb+v{a,b}w+ expands to \verb+vaw:vbw+. Nesting is allowed.
+This can be used to implement multiple \TeX{} hierarchies, by
+assigning a brace list to \code{\$TEXMF}.
+For example, in \file{texmf.cnf}, you find
+the following definition:
+\begin{verbatim}
+ TEXMF = {$HOMETEXMF,$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$VARTEXMF,!!$TEXMFMAIN}
+\end{verbatim}
+Using this you can then write something like
+\begin{verbatim}
+ TEXINPUTS = .;$TEXMF/tex//
+\end{verbatim}
+%$
+which means that, after looking in the current directory, the
+\code{\$HOMETEXMF/tex}, \code{\$TEXMFLOCAL/tex}, \code{\$VARTEXMF/tex}
+and \code{\$TEXMFMAIN/tex} trees \emph{only}) will be searched (the
+last two use using \file{ls-R} data base files). It is a convenient
+way for running two parallel \TeX{} structures, one ``frozen'' (on a
+\CD, for instance) and the other being continuously updated with new
+versions as they become available. By using the \code{\$TEXMF}
+variable in all definitions, one is sure to always search the
+up-to-date tree first.
+
+\subsubsection{Subdirectory expansion}
+\label{Subdirectory-expansion}
+
+Two or more consecutive slashes in a path element following a directory
+\var{d} is replaced by all subdirectories of \var{d}: first those
+subdirectories directly under \var{d}, then the subsubdirectories under
+those, and so on. At each level, the order in which the directories are
+searched is \emph{unspecified}.
+
+If you specify any filename components after the \samp{//}, only
+subdirectories with matching components are included. For example,
+\samp{/a//b} expands into directories \file{/a/1/b}, \file{/a/2/b},
+\file{/a/1/1/b}, and so on, but not \file{/a/b/c} or \file{/a/1}.
+
+Multiple \samp{//} constructs in a path are possible, but
+\samp{//} at the beginning of a path is ignored.
+
+\subsubsection{List of special characters and their meaning: a summary}
+
+The following list summarizes the special characters in \KPS{}
+configuration files.
+
+% need a wider space for the item labels here.
+\newcommand{\CODE}[1]{\makebox[3em][l]{\code{#1}}}
+\begin{ttdescription}
+\item[\CODE{:}] Separator in path specification; at the beginning or
+ the end of a path it substitutes the default path expansion.\par
+\item[\CODE{;}] Separator on non-Unix systems (acts like \code{:}).
+\item[\CODE{\$}] Variable expansion.
+\item[\CODE{\string~}] Represents the user's home directory.
+\item[\CODE{\char`\{...\char`\}}] Brace expansion.
+\item[\CODE{//}] Subdirectory expansion (can occur anywhere in
+ a path, except at its beginning).
+\item[\CODE{\%}] Start of comment.
+\item[\CODE{\bs}] Continuation character (allows multi-line entries).
+\item[\CODE{!!}] Search \emph{only} database to locate file, \emph{do
+ not} search the disk.
+\end{ttdescription}
+
+
+\subsection{Filename databases}
+\label{Filename-database}
+
+\KPS{} goes to some lengths to minimize disk accesses for searches.
+Nevertheless, at installations with enough directories, searching each
+possible directory for a given file can take an excessively long time
+(this is especially true if many hundreds of font directories have to
+be traversed.) Therefore, \KPS{} can use an externally-built plain text
+``database'' file named \file{ls-R} that maps files to directories,
+thus avoiding the need to exhaustively search the disk.
+
+A second database file \file{aliases} allows you to give additional
+names to the files listed in \file{ls-R}. This can be helpful to
+confirm to \acro{DOS} 8.3 filename conventions in source files.
+
+\subsubsection{The filename database}
+\label{ls-R}
+
+As explained above, the name of the main filename database must be
+\file{ls-R}. You can put one at the root of each \TeX{} hierarchy in
+your installation that you wish to be searched (\code{\$TEXMF} by
+default); most sites have only one hierarchy. \KPS{} looks for
+\file{ls-R} files along the \code{TEXMFDBS} path.
+
+The recommended way to create and maintain \samp{ls-R} is to run the
+\code{mktexlsr} script included with the distribution. It is invoked
+by the various \samp{mktex}\dots\ scripts. In principle, this script
+just runs the command
+\begin{alltt}
+cd \var{/your/texmf/root} && \path|\|ls -1LAR ./ >ls-R
+\end{alltt}
+presuming your system's \code{ls} produces the right output format
+(\acro{GNU} \code{ls} is all right). To ensure that the database is
+always up-to-date, it is easiest to rebuild it regularly via
+\code{cron}, so that it is automatically updated when the installed
+files change, such as after installing or updating a \LaTeX{} package.
+
+If a file is not found in the database, by default \KPS{} goes ahead
+and searches the disk. If a particular path element begins with
+\samp{!!}, however, \emph{only} the database will be searched for that
+element, never the disk.
+
+
+\subsubsection{kpsewhich: Standalone path searching}
+\label{Invoking-kpsewhich}
+
+The \texttt{kpsewhich} program exercises path searching independent of any
+particular application. This can be useful as a sort of \code{find}
+program to locate files in \TeX{} hierarchies (this is used heavily in
+the distributed \samp{mktex}\dots\ scripts).
+
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{kpsewhich \var{option}\dots{} \var{filename}\dots{}}
+\end{alltt}
+The options specified in \ttvar{option} start with either \samp{-}
+or \samp{-{}-}, and any unambiguous abbreviation is accepted.
+
+\KPS{} looks up each non-option argument on the command line as a
+filename, and returns the first file found. There is no option to
+return all the files with a particular name (you can run the Unix
+\samp{find} utility for that).
+
+The more important options are described next.
+
+\begin{ttdescription}
+\item[\texttt{-{}-dpi=\var{num}}]\mbox{}
+ Set the resolution to \ttvar{num}; this only affects \samp{gf}
+ and \samp{pk} lookups. \samp{-D} is a synonym, for compatibility
+ with \cmdname{dvips}. Default is 600.
+
+\item[\texttt{-{}-format=\var{name}}]\mbox{}\\
+ Set the format for lookup to \ttvar{name}. By default, the
+ format is guessed from the filename. For formats which do not have
+ an associated unambiguous suffix, such as \MP{} support files and
+ \cmdname{dvips} configuration files, you have to specify the name as
+ found in the first column of table~\ref{tab:kpathsea}, which lists
+ currently recognized names, a description, possible file extensions,
+ and associated environment variables.

+
+\begin{ttdescription}

+\item[\texttt{-{}-mode=\var{string}}]\mbox{}\\

+ and \samp{pk} lookups. No default: any mode will be found.
+\item[\texttt{-{}-must-exist}]\mbox{}\\
+ Do everything possible to find the files, notably including
+ searching the disk. By default, only the \file{ls-R} database is
+ checked, in the interest of efficiency.
+\item[\texttt{-{}-path=\var{string}}]\mbox{}\\
+ Search along the path \ttvar{string} (colon-separated as usual),
+ instead of guessing the search path from the filename. \samp{//} and

+ and \samp{-{}-format} are mutually exclusive.
+\item[\texttt{-{}-progname=\var{name}}]\mbox{}\\
+ Set the program name to \texttt{\var{name}}.
+ This can affect the search paths via the \texttt{.\var{progname}}
+ feature.
+ The default is \cmdname{kpsewhich}.
+\item[\texttt{-{}-show-path=\var{name}}]\mbox{}\\
+ shows the path used for file lookups of file type \texttt{\var{name}}.

+
+\subsubsection{Examples of use}
+\label{SExamplesofuse}
+
+Let us now have a look at \KPS{} in action. Here's a straightforward search:
+
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{kpsewhich article.cls}
+ /usr/local/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/article.cls
+\end{alltt}
+We are looking for the file \file{article.cls}. Since the \samp{.cls}
+suffix is unambiguous we do not need to specify that we want to look for a
+file of type \optname{tex} (\TeX{} source file directories). We find it in
+the subdirectory \file{tex/latex/base} below the \samp{texmf-dist} \TL\
+directory. Similarly, all of the following are found without problems
+thanks to their unambiguous suffix.
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{kpsewhich array.sty}
+ /usr/local/texmf-dist/tex/latex/tools/array.sty
+> \Ucom{kpsewhich latin1.def}
+ /usr/local/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/latin1.def
+> \Ucom{kpsewhich size10.clo}
+ /usr/local/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/size10.clo
+> \Ucom{kpsewhich small2e.tex}
+ /usr/local/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/small2e.tex
+> \Ucom{kpsewhich tugboat.bib}
+ /usr/local/texmf-dist/bibtex/bib/beebe/tugboat.bib
+\end{alltt}
+
+That last is a \BibTeX{} bibliography database for \textsl{TUGBoat} articles.
+
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{kpsewhich cmr10.pk}
+\end{alltt}
+Font bitmap glyph files of type \file{.pk} are used by display
+programs like \cmdname{dvips} and \cmdname{xdvi}. Nothing is returned in
+this case since there are no pre-generated Computer Modern \samp{.pk}
+files in \TL{}\Dash the Type~1 variants are used by default.
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{kpsewhich wsuipa10.pk}
+\ifSingleColumn /usr/local/texmf-var/fonts/pk/ljfour/public/wsuipa/wsuipa10.600pk
+\else /usr/local/texmf-var/fonts/pk/ljfour/public/
+... wsuipa/wsuipa10.600pk
+\fi\end{alltt}
+
+For these fonts (a phonetic alphabet from the University of Washington)
+we had to generate \samp{.pk} files, and since the default \MF{} mode on
+our installation is \texttt{ljfour} with a base resolution of 600\dpi{}
+(dots per inch), this instantiation is returned.
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{kpsewhich -dpi=300 wsuipa10.pk}
+\end{alltt}
+In this case, when specifying that we are interested in a resolution
+of 300\dpi{} (\texttt{-dpi=300}) we see that no such font is available on
+the system. A program like \cmdname{dvips} or \cmdname{xdvi} would
+go off and actually build the required \texttt{.pk} files
+using the script \cmdname{mktexpk}.
+
+Next we turn our attention to \cmdname{dvips}'s header and configuration
+files. We first look at one of the commonly used files, the general
+prolog \file{tex.pro} for \TeX{} support, before turning our attention
+to the generic configuration file (\file{config.ps}) and the \PS{} font
+map \file{psfonts.map}\Dash as of 2004, map and encoding files have
+their own search paths and new location in \dirname{texmf} trees. As
+the \samp{.ps} suffix is ambiguous we have to specify explicitly which
+type we are considering (\optname{dvips config}) for the file
+\texttt{config.ps}.
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{kpsewhich tex.pro}
+ /usr/local/texmf/dvips/base/tex.pro
+> \Ucom{kpsewhich --format="dvips config" config.ps}
+ /usr/local/texmf/dvips/config/config.ps
+> \Ucom{kpsewhich psfonts.map}
+ /usr/local/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/updmap/psfonts.map
+\end{alltt}
+
+We now take a closer look at the \acro{URW} Times \PS{} support
+files. The prefix for these in the standard font naming scheme is
+\samp{utm}. The first file we look at is the configuration file,
+which contains the name of the map file:
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{kpsewhich --format="dvips config" config.utm}
+ /usr/local/texmf-dist/dvips/psnfss/config.utm
+\end{alltt}
+The contents of that file is
+\begin{alltt}
+ p +utm.map
+\end{alltt}
+which points to the file \file{utm.map}, which we want to
+locate next.
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{kpsewhich utm.map}
+ /usr/local/texmf-dist/fonts/map/dvips/times/utm.map
+\end{alltt}
+This map file defines the file names of the Type~1 \PS{} fonts in
+the URW collection. Its contents look like (we only show part of the
+lines):
+\begin{alltt}
+utmb8r NimbusRomNo9L-Medi ... <utmb8a.pfb
+utmbi8r NimbusRomNo9L-MediItal... <utmbi8a.pfb
+utmr8r NimbusRomNo9L-Regu ... <utmr8a.pfb
+utmri8r NimbusRomNo9L-ReguItal... <utmri8a.pfb
+utmbo8r NimbusRomNo9L-Medi ... <utmb8a.pfb
+utmro8r NimbusRomNo9L-Regu ... <utmr8a.pfb
+\end{alltt}
+Let us, for instance, take the Times Roman instance
+\file{utmr8a.pfb} and find its position in the \file{texmf} directory
+tree with a search for Type~1 font files:
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{kpsewhich utmr8a.pfb}
+\ifSingleColumn /usr/local/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/urw/times/utmr8a.pfb
+\else /usr/local/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/
+... urw/utm/utmr8a.pfb
+\fi\end{alltt}
+
+It should be evident from these examples how you can easily locate the
+whereabouts of a given file. This is especially important if you suspect
+that the wrong version of a file is picked up somehow, since
+\cmdname{kpsewhich} will show you the first file encountered.
+
+\subsubsection{Debugging actions}
+\label{Debugging}
+
+Sometimes it is necessary to investigate how a program resolves file
+references. To make this practical, \KPS{} offers various levels of
+debugging output:
+
+\begin{ttdescription}
+\item[\texttt{\ 1}] \texttt{stat} calls (disk lookups). When running
+ with an up-to-date \file{ls-R} database this should almost give no
+ output.
+\item[\texttt{\ 2}] References to hash tables (such as \file{ls-R}
+ databases, map files, configuration files).
+\item[\texttt{\ 4}] File open and close operations.
+\item[\texttt{\ 8}] General path information for file types
+ searched by \KPS. This is useful to find out where a particular
+ path for the file was defined.
+\item[\texttt{16}] Directory list for each path element (only relevant
+ for searches on disk).
+\item[\texttt{32}] File searches.
+\end{ttdescription}
+A value of \texttt{-1} will set all the above options; in practice,
+this is usually the most convenient.
+
+Similarly, with the \cmdname{dvips} program, by setting a combination of
+debug switches, one can follow in detail where files are being picked up
+from. Alternatively, when a file is not found, the debug trace shows in
+which directories the program looks for the given file, so that one can
+get an indication what the problem~is.
+
+Generally speaking, as most programs call the \KPS{} library
+internally, one can select a debug option by using the
+\envname{KPATHSEA\_DEBUG} environment variable, and setting it to (a
+combination of) values as described in the above list.
+
+(Note for Windows users: it is not easy to redirect
+all messages to a file in this system. For diagnostic purposes
+you can temporarily \texttt{SET KPATHSEA\_DEBUG\_OUTPUT=err.log}).
+
+Let us consider, as an example, a small \LaTeX{} source file,
+\file{hello-world.tex}, which contains the following input.
+\begin{verbatim}
+ \documentclass{article}
+ \begin{document}
+ Hello World!
+ \end{document}
+\end{verbatim}
+This little file only uses the font \file{cmr10}, so let us look
+how \cmdname{dvips} prepares the \PS{} file (we want to use the Type~1
+version of the Computer Modern fonts, hence the option \texttt{-Pcms}).
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{dvips -d4100 hello-world -Pcms -o}
+\end{alltt}
+In this case we have combined \cmdname{dvips}'s debug class 4 (font
+paths) with \KPS's path element expansion (see \cmdname{dvips} Reference
+Manual, \OnCD{texmf/doc/html/dvips/dvips_toc.html}).
+The output (slightly rearranged) appears in
+Figure~\ref{fig:dvipsdbga}.
+\begin{figure*}[tp]
+\centering

+\caption{Finding configuration files}\label{fig:dvipsdbga}

+
+\bigskip
+
+\input{examples/ex6c.tex}
+\caption{Finding the font file}\label{fig:dvipsdbgc}
+\end{figure*}
+
+\cmdname{dvips} starts by locating its working files. First,
+\file{texmf.cnf} is found, which gives the definitions of the search
+paths for the other files, then the file database \file{ls-R} (to
+optimize file searching) and the file \file{aliases}, which makes it
+possible to declare several names (e.g., a short \acro{DOS}-like 8.3 and
+a more natural longer version) for the same file. Then \cmdname{dvips}
+goes on to find the generic configuration file \file{config.ps}
+before looking for the customization file \file{.dvipsrc} (which, in
+this case is \emph{not found}). Finally, \cmdname{dvips} locates the
+config file for the Computer Modern \PS{} fonts \file{config.cms}
+(this was initiated with the \texttt{-Pcms} option on the \cmdname{dvips}
+command). This file contains the list of the map files which
+define the relation between the \TeX{}, \PS{} and file system
+names of the fonts.
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{more /usr/local/texmf/dvips/cms/config.cms}
+ p +ams.map
+ p +cms.map
+ p +cmbkm.map
+ p +amsbkm.map
+\end{alltt}
+\cmdname{dvips} thus goes on to find all these files, plus the generic
+map file \file{psfonts.map}, which is always loaded (it contains
+declarations for commonly used \PS{} fonts; see the last part of
+Section \ref{SExamplesofuse} for more details about \PS{} map
+file handling).
+
+At this point \cmdname{dvips} identifies itself to the user:
+\begin{alltt}
+This is dvips(k) 5.92b Copyright 2002 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com)
+\end{alltt}
+\ifSingleColumn
+Then it goes on to look for the prolog file \file{texc.pro}:
+\begin{alltt}\small
+kdebug:start search(file=texc.pro, must\_exist=0, find\_all=0,
+ path=.:~/tex/dvips//:!!/usr/local/texmf/dvips//:
+ ~/tex/fonts/type1//:!!/usr/local/texmf/fonts/type1//).
+kdebug:search(texc.pro) => /usr/local/texmf/dvips/base/texc.pro
+\end{alltt}
+\else
+Then it goes on to look for the prolog file \file{texc.pro} (see
+Figure~\ref{fig:dvipsdbgb}).
+\fi
+
+After having found the file in question, \cmdname{dvips} outputs
+date and time, and informs us that it will generate the
+file \file{hello-world.ps}, then that it needs the font file
+\file{cmr10}, and that the latter is declared as ``resident'' (no
+bitmaps needed):
+\begin{alltt}\small
+TeX output 1998.02.26:1204' -> hello-world.ps
+Defining font () cmr10 at 10.0pt
+Font cmr10 <CMR10> is resident.
+\end{alltt}
+Now the search is on for the file \file{cmr10.tfm}, which is found,
+then a few more prolog files (not shown) are referenced, and finally
+the Type~1 instance \file{cmr10.pfb} of the font is located and
+included in the output file (see last line).
+\begin{alltt}\small
+kdebug:start search(file=cmr10.tfm, must\_exist=1, find\_all=0,
+ path=.:~/tex/fonts/tfm//:!!/usr/local/texmf/fonts/tfm//:
+ /var/tex/fonts/tfm//).
+kdebug:search(cmr10.tfm) => /usr/local/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/cm/cmr10.tfm
+kdebug:start search(file=texps.pro, must\_exist=0, find\_all=0,
+ ...
+<texps.pro>
+kdebug:start search(file=cmr10.pfb, must\_exist=0, find\_all=0,
+ path=.:~/tex/dvips//:!!/usr/local/texmf/dvips//:
+ ~/tex/fonts/type1//:!!/usr/local/texmf/fonts/type1//).
+kdebug:search(cmr10.pfb) => /usr/local/texmf/fonts/type1/public/cm/cmr10.pfb
+<cmr10.pfb>[1]
+\end{alltt}
+
+\subsection{Runtime options}
+
+Another useful feature of \Webc{} is its possibility to control a number
+of memory parameters (in particular, array sizes) via the runtime file
+\file{texmf.cnf} read by \KPS{}. The memory settings can be found in
+Part 3 of that file in the \TL{} distribution. The more important
+are:
+
+\begin{ttdescription}
+\item[\texttt{main\_memory}]
+ Total words of memory available, for
+ \TeX{}, \MF{} and \MP. You must make a new format file for each
+ different setting. For instance, you could generate a ``huge''
+ version of \TeX{}, and call the format file \texttt{hugetex.fmt}.
+ Using the standard way of specifying the program name used by \KPS{},
+ the particular value of the \texttt{main\_memory} variable will then
+ be read from \file{texmf.cnf}.
+ etc.).
+\item[\texttt{extra\_mem\_bot}]
+ Extra space for ``large'' \TeX{} data structures:
+ boxes, glue, breakpoints, etc. Especially useful if you use
+ \PiCTeX{}.
+\item[\texttt{font\_mem\_size}]
+ Number of words for font information available for \TeX. This
+ is more or less the total size of all TFM files read.
+\item[\texttt{hash\_extra}]
+ Additional space for the hash table of control sequence names.
+ Approximately 10,000 control sequences can be stored in the main
+ hash table; if you have a large book with numerous cross-references,
+ this might not be enough. The default value of
+ \texttt{hash\_extra} is \texttt{50000}.
+\end{ttdescription}
+
+\noindent Of course, this facility is no substitute for truly dynamic
+arrays and memory allocation, but since these are extremely difficult to
+implement in the present \TeX{} source, these runtime parameters provide
+a practical compromise allowing some flexibility.
+
+
+\section{Building on a new Unix platform}
+
+If you have a platform for which executables are not included, you will
+need to compile \TeX{} and friends. This is not as hard as it
+sounds. What you need is all in the directory \texttt{source} in the
+distribution.
+
+\subsection{Prerequisites}
+
+You will need at least 100 megabytes of disk space to compile all of
+\TeX{} and its support programs. You'll also need an \acro{ANSI} C
+compiler, a \cmdname{make} utility, a lexical scanner, and a parser
+generator. We recommend the \acro{GNU} version of these programs
+(\cmdname{gcc}, \acro{GNU} \cmdname{make}, \cmdname{m4}, \cmdname{flex},
+\cmdname{bison}). You may be able to work with other C compilers and
+\cmdname{make} programs, but you will need a good understanding of
+building Unix programs to sort out problems.
+
+Also, the command \texttt{uname} must return a sensible value.
+
+
+\subsection{Configuration}
+
+To begin, perform a normal installation of \TL{} to your disk (see
+section~\ref{sec:unix-install-disk} on
+\p.\pageref{sec:unix-install-disk}). You may wish to skip installing
+all of the prebuilt binaries.
+
+Then, unpack the source from the compressed \texttt{tar} file in the
+directory \dirname{source} to your disk and change directory to where
+you placed it.
+
+Next, run \cmdname{configure} with a command line like this:
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{sh configure -prefix=/usr/local/TeX}
+\end{alltt}
+
+The \optname{-prefix} directory is the one where you installed the
+support tree; the directory layout will be as follows (where \$TEXDIR
+stands for the directory you chose):
+
+\noindent
+\begin{tabular}{>{\ttfamily}ll@{}}
+ \dirname{$TEXDIR/share/texmf} & main tree with fonts,\\
+ & \qquad macros, etc\\
+ \dirname{$TEXDIR/man} & Unix manual pages\\
+ \dirname{$TEXDIR/info} & \acro{GNU} style Info manuals\\
+ \dirname{$TEXDIR/bin/$PLATFORM} & binaries\\
+\end{tabular}
+%$
+
+If you want to leave out the \dirname{$PLATFORM} directory level,
+i.e., put the binaries directly into \dirname{$TEXDIR/bin}, specify
+the \verb|--disable-multiplatform| option to \cmdname{configure}.
+
+Have a look at the output of \verb|./configure --help| for more
+options you can use. For example, you can skip building of \OMEGA{} and
+\eTeX{}.
+
+
+\subsection{Running \cmdname{make}}
+
+Make sure the shell variable or option \texttt{noclobber} is not set.
+Then, run the main \cmdname{make} like this:
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{make world}
+\end{alltt}
+and relax\ldots
+
+Alternatively, you want to log all the output, as in:
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{sh -c "make world >world.log 2>\&1" \&}
+\end{alltt}
+
+Before you believe that everything went ok, please check the log file
+for errors: \acro{GNU} \cmdname{make} always uses the string \samp{***}
+whenever a command fails. Also, check if all the programs were built:
+
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{cd \var{TEXDIR}/bin/\var{archname}}
+> \Ucom{ls | wc}
+\end{alltt}
+The result should be over 200 (you can check the exact number with the
+\dirname{bin} directory contents in the distribution).
+
+If you need special privileges for \texttt{make install}, you can
+separate the \samp{make world} into two different runs, like this:
+\begin{alltt}
+> \Ucom{make all}
+> \Ucom{su}
+> \Ucom{make install strip}
+\end{alltt}
+
+After you've installed your new binaries, you should follow the normal
+post-installation procedures, given in section~\ref{sec:postinstall}
+(\p.\pageref{sec:postinstall}).
+
+Also, if you'd like to make your binaries available to others, please
+contact us. We'll be happy to put them on the \TL\ web pages.

+\section{Release history}
+\label{sec:history}
+
+\subsection{Past}
+
+Discussion began in late 1993 when the Dutch \TeX{} Users Group was
+starting work on its 4All\TeX{} \CD{} for \acro{MS-DOS} users, and it
+was hoped at that time to issue a single, rational, \CD{} for all
+systems. This was too ambitious a target for the time, but it did spawn
+not only the very successful 4All\TeX{} \CD{}, but also the \acro{TUG}
+Technical Council working group on a \emph{\TeX{} Directory Structure}
+(\url{http://tug.org/tds}), which specified how to create consistent and
+manageable collections of \TeX{} support files. A complete draft of the
+\TDS{} was published in the December 1995 issue of \textsl{TUGboat}, and
+it was clear from an early stage that one desirable product would be a
+model structure on \CD{}. The distribution you now have is a very direct
+result of the working group's deliberations. It was also clear that the
+success of the 4All\TeX{} \CD{} showed that Unix users would benefit
+from a similarly easy system, and this is the other main strand of
+\TL.
+
+We first undertook to make a new Unix-based \TDS{} \CD{} in the autumn
+of 1995, and quickly identified Thomas Esser's \teTeX{} as the ideal
+setup, as it already had multi-platform support and was built with
+portability across file systems in mind. Thomas agreed to help, and work
+began seriously at the start of 1996. The first edition was released in
+May 1996. At the start of 1997, Karl Berry completed a major new release
+of Web2c, which included nearly all the features which Thomas Esser had
+added in \teTeX, and we decided to base the 2nd edition of the \CD{} on
+the standard \Webc, with the addition of \teTeX's \texttt{texconfig}
+script. The 3rd edition of the \CD{} was based on a major revision of
+\Webc, 7.2, by Olaf Weber; at the same time, a new revision of \teTeX
+was being made, and \TL{} included almost all of its features. The
+4th edition followed the same pattern, using a new version of \teTeX,
+and a new release of \Webc{} (7.3). The system now included a complete
+Windows setup.
+
+For the 5th edition (March 2000) many parts of the \CD{} were revised
+and checked, updating hundreds of packages. Package details were stored
+in XML files. But the major change for \TeX\ Live 5 was that all
+non-free software was removed. Everything in \TL{} is now intended
+to be compatible with the Debian Free Software Guidelines
+(\url{http://www.debian.org/intro/free}); we have done our best to check
+the license conditions of all packages, but we would very much
+appreciate hearing of any mistakes.
+
+The 6th edition (July 2001) had much more material updated. The major
+change was a new install concept: the user could select a more exact set
+of needed collections. Language-related collections were completely
+reorganized, so selecting any of them installs not only macros, fonts,
+etc., but also prepares an appropriate \texttt{language.dat}.
+
+The 7th edition of 2002 had the notable addition of \MacOSX{} support,
+and the usual myriad of updates to all sorts of packages and
+programs. An important goal was integration of the source back with
+\teTeX, to correct the drift apart in versions~5 and~6.
+
+In 2003, with the continuing flood of updates and additions, we found
+that \TL{} had grown so large it could no longer be contained on a
+single \CD, so we split it into three different distributions (see
+section~\ref{sec:multiple-dist}, \p.\pageref{sec:multiple-dist}). In
+addition:
+
+\begin{itemize*}
+\item At the request of the \LaTeX{} team, we changed the standard
+ \cmdname{latex} and \cmdname{pdflatex} commands to now use \eTeX{} (see
+ \p.\pageref{text:etex}).
+\item The new Latin Modern fonts were included (and are recommended).
+\item Support for Alpha \acro{OSF} was removed
+ (\acro{HPUX} support was removed previously), since no one had (or
+ volunteered) hardware available on which to compile new binaries.
+\item Windows setup was substantially changed; for the first time
+ an integrated environment based on XEmacs was introduced.
+\item Important supplementary programs for Windows
+ (Perl, Ghost\-script, Image\-Magick, Ispell) are now installed
+ in the \TL{} installation directory.
+\item Font map files used by \cmdname{dvips}, \cmdname{dvipdfm}
+ and \cmdname{pdftex} are now generated by the new program
+ \cmdname{updmap} and installed into \dirname{texmf/fonts/map}.
+\item \TeX{}, \MF{}, and \MP{} now, by default, output most input
+ characters (32 and above) as themselves in output (e.g.,
+ \verb|\write|) files,
+ log files, and the terminal, i.e., \emph{not} translated using the
+ \verb|^^| notation. In \TL{}~7, this translation was
+ dependent on the system locale settings; now, locale settings do
+ not influence the \TeX{} programs' behavior. If for some reason
+ you need the \verb|^^| output, rename the file
+ \verb|texmf/web2c/cp8bit.tcx|. (Future releases will have cleaner
+ ways to control this.)
+\item This documentation was substantially revised.
+\item Finally, since the edition numbers had grown unwieldy,
+ the version is now simply identified by the year: \TL{} 2003.
+\end{itemize*}
+
+\subsection{Present}
+\label{tlcurrent}
+
+2004 saw the usual huge number of updates to packages and programs.
+Here are the most notable changes, including one important backward
+incompatibility:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item If you have locally-installed fonts which use their own
+\filename{.map} or (much less likely) \filename{.enc} support files, you
+may need to move those support files.
+
+\filename{.map} files are now searched for in subdirectories of
+\dirname{fonts/map} only (in each \filename{texmf} tree), along the
+\envname{TEXFONTMAPS} path. Similarly, \filename{.enc} files are now
+searched for in subdirectories of \dirname{fonts/enc} only, along the
+\envname{ENCFONTS} path. \cmdname{updmap} will attempt to warn about
+problematic files.
+
+For methods of handling this and other information, please see
+\url{http://tug.org/texlive/mapenc.html}.
+
+\item The \TK\ has been expanded with the addition of a \MIKTEX-based
+installable \CD, for those who prefer that implementation to Web2C.
+See section~\ref{sec:struct-tl} (\p.\pageref{sec:struct-tl}).
+
+\item Within \TL, the single large \dirname{texmf} tree of previous
+releases has been replaced by three: \dirname{texmf},
+\dirname{texmf-dist}, and \dirname{texmf-doc}. See
+section~\ref{sec:tld} (\p.\pageref{sec:tld}), and the \filename{README}
+files for each.
+
+\item All \TeX-related input files are now collected in
+the \dirname{tex} subdirectory of \dirname{texmf*} trees, rather than
+having separate sibling directories \dirname{tex}, \dirname{etex},
+\dirname{pdftex}, \dirname{pdfetex}, etc. See
+\CDref{texmf-doc/doc/english/tds/tds.html\#Extensions}
+{\texttt{texmf-doc/doc/english/tds/tds.html\#Extensions}}.
+
+\item Helper scripts (not meant to be invoked by users) are now located
+in a new \dirname{scripts} directory of \dirname{texmf*} trees, and
+searched for via \verb|kpsewhich -format=texmfscripts|. So if you have
+programs which call such scripts, they'll need to be adjusted. See
+\CDref{texmf-doc/doc/english/tds/tds.html\#Scripts}
+{\texttt{texmf-doc/doc/english/tds/tds.html\#Scripts}}.
+
+\item Almost all formats leave most characters printable as
+themselves via the ``translation file'' \filename{cp227.tcx}, instead of
+translating them with the \verb|^^| notation. Specifically, characters
+at positions 32--256, plus tab, vertical tab, and form feed are
+considered printable and not translated. The exceptions are plain \TeX\
+(only 32--126 printable), \ConTeXt\ (0--255 printable), and the
+\OMEGA-related formats. This default behavior is almost the same as in
+\TL\,2003, but it's implemented more cleanly, with more possibilities
+for customization. See \CDref{texmf/doc/web2c/web2c.html\#TCX-files}
+{\texttt{texmf/doc/web2c/web2c.html\#TCX-files}}.
+(By the way, with Unicode input, \TeX\ may output partial character
+sequences when showing error contexts, since it is byte-oriented.)
+
+\item \textsf{pdfetex} is now the default engine for all formats
+except (plain) \textsf{tex} itself. (Of course it generates \acro{DVI}
+when run as \textsf{latex}, etc.) This means, among other things, that
+the microtypographic features of \textsf{pdftex} are available in
+\LaTeX, \ConTeXt, etc., as well as the \eTeX\ features
+(\OnCD{texmf-dist/doc/etex/base/}).
+
+It also means it's \emph{more important than ever} to use the
+\pkgname{ifpdf} package (works with both plain and \LaTeX) or equivalent
+code, because simply testing whether \cs{pdfoutput} or some other
+primitive is defined is not a reliable way to determine if \acro{PDF}
+output is being generated. We made this backward compatible as best we
+could this year, but next year, \cs{pdfoutput} may be defined even when
+\acro{DVI} is being written.
+
+\item pdf\TeX\ (\url{http://pdftex.org}) has many new features:
+
+ \begin{itemize*}
+
+ \item \cs{pdfmapfile} and \cs{pdfmapline} provide font map support
+ from within a document.
+
+ \item Microtypographic font expansion can be used more easily.\\
+ \url{http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-pdftex/2004-May/000504.html}
+
+ \item All parameters previously set through the special configuration
+ file \filename{pdftex.cfg} must now be set through primitives,
+ typically in \filename{pdftexconfig.tex}; \filename{pdftex.cfg} is no
+ longer supported. Any extant \filename{.fmt} files must be redumped
+ when \filename{pdftexconfig.tex} is changed.
+
+ \item See the pdf\TeX\ manual for more: \OnCD{texmf/doc/pdftex/manual}.
+
+ \end{itemize*}
+
+\item The \cs{input} primitive in \cmdname{tex} (and \cmdname{mf} and
+\cmdname{mpost}) now accepts double quotes containing spaces and other
+special characters. Typical examples:
+\begin{verbatim}
+\input "filename with spaces" % plain
+\input{"filename with spaces"} % latex
+\end{verbatim}
+See the Web2C manual for more: \OnCD{texmf/doc/web2c}.
+
+\item enc\TeX\ support is now included within Web2C and consequently all
+\TeX\ programs, via the \optname{-enc} option\Dash \emph{only when
+formats are built}. enc\TeX\ supports general re-encoding of input and
+output, enabling full support of Unicode (in \acro{UTF}-8). See
+\OnCD{texmf-dist/doc/generic/enctex/} and
+\url{http://www.olsak.net/enctex.html}.
+
+\item Aleph, a new engine combining \eTeX\ and \OMEGA, is available.
+A little information is available in \OnCD{texmf-dist/doc/aleph/base}
+and \url{http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=aleph}. The
+\LaTeX-based format for Aleph is named \textsf{lamed}.
+
+\item The latest \LaTeX\ release has a new version of the
+\acro{LPPL}\Dash now officially a Debian-approved license. Assorted
+other updates, see the \filename{ltnews} files in
+\OnCD{texmf-dist/doc/latex/base}.
+
+\item \cmdname{dvipng}, a new program for converting \acro{DVI} to
+\acro{PNG} image files, is included. See \OnCD{texmf/doc/man/man1/dvipng.1}.
+
+\item We reduced the \pkgname{cbgreek} package to a ``medium'' sized set
+of fonts, with the assent and advice of the author (Claudio Beccari).
+The excised fonts are the invisible, outline, and transparency ones,
+which are relatively rarely used, and we needed the space. The full set
+is of course available from \acro{CTAN}
+(\url{http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/greek/cb}).
+
+\item \cmdname{oxdvi} has been removed; just use \cmdname{xdvi}.
+
+\item The \cmdname{ini} and \cmdname{vir} commands (links) for
+\cmdname{tex}, \cmdname{mf}, and \cmdname{mpost} are no longer created,
+such as \cmdname{initex}. The \cmdname{ini} functionality has been
+available through the command-line option \optname{-ini} for years now.
+
+\item \textsf{i386-openbsd} platform support was removed. Since the
+\pkgname{tetex} package in the \acro{BSD} Ports system is available, and
+\acro{GNU/}Linux and Free\acro{BSD} binaries were available, it seemed
+volunteer time could be better spent elsewhere.
+
+\item On \textsf{sparc-solaris} (at least), you may have to set the
+\envname{LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH} environment variable to run the
+\pkgname{t1utils} programs. This is because they are compiled with C++,
+and there is no standard location for the runtime libraries. (This is
+not new in 2004, but wasn't previously documented.) Similarly, on
+\textsf{mips-irix}, the \acro{MIPS}pro 7.4 runtimes are required.
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+
+\subsection{Future}
+
+\emph{\TL{} is not perfect!} (And never will be.) We intend to
+continue to release new versions yearly, and would like to provide more
+help material, more utilities, more installation programs, and (of
+course) an ever-improved and checked tree of macros and fonts. This work
+is all done by hard-pressed volunteers in their limited spare time, and
+a great deal remains to be done. If you can help, don't hesitate to put
+your name forward!
