- ALaTeX Installation Guide
-
-
- 21 January 1996
- Matt Swift <swift@bu.edu>
-
-SUMMARY
-=======
-
-This file contains the installation instructions for the ALaTeX
-document preparation system.
-
-In order to install ALaTeX, you must have a working installation of
-LaTeX2e. More information on LaTeX may be found at
-http://www.cogs.susx.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html.
-
-In summary, to install ALaTeX, you will:
-
- * Generate the ALaTeX format and standard metaclass.
-
- * Put the ALaTeX files where ALaTeX can read them.
-
- * Check the installation.
-
-When one of these steps depends on your TeX distribution, you may find
-help on how to do it in a <system>.txt file in the LaTeX distribution.
-
-
-GENERATING THE ALATEX FORMAT
-============================
-
-To create the ALaTeX format,
-
- * Run TeX on the file `aunpack.ins'. This will create two new files
- called `alatex.ltx' and `metaclas.cfg'.
-
- * Invoke iniTeX with a first line of `&latex alatex.ltx'. This will
- create a format file called `alatex.fmt'. Alternatively, you can
- do this by typing `&latex' to iniTeX's `**' prompt, then typing
- `\input alatex.ltx', and renaming the file `texput.fmt' to
- `alatex.fmt'.
-
- * Copy or move the format file `alatex.fmt' to the TeX formats
- directory, and copy or move the standard metaclass `metaclas.cfg'
- into a standard TeX input path.
-
- * If you use the Unix web2c distribution of TeX, you may wish to
- create a link from `alatex' to `virtex', and define
- TEXINPUTS.alatex to have the same or similar value as
- TEXINPUTS.latex2e in the file texmf.cnf. On other platforms, you
- must do something else to use the ALaTeX format.
-
-
-CHECKING THAT THE INSTALLATION WORKED
-=====================================
-
-To make sure that the installation has worked, you may run
-ALaTeX on the document `ltxcheck.tex' which came in the base directory
-of your LaTeX2e distribution.
-
-Notice that the dialog will refer to LaTeX2e, but the banner ought to
-announce that you have invoked ALaTeX.
-
-This will produce a number of messages, each of which should be `OK'.
-If any of them are `BAD', I suggest trying seeing whether the same
-error occurs when you run LaTeX on `ltxcheck.tex'. If so, see the
-PROBLEMS section of the install.txt file in the LaTeX distribution.
-If not, then please see the file abugs.txt in the ALaTeX distribution
-and submit a bug report.
-
-If all the messages are `OK' then you are finished!
-
-
-GENERATING THE DOCUMENTATION
-============================
-
-Process `alatex.tex' with LaTeX and (optionally) Makeindex to produce
-documentation of ALaTeX and its standard metaclass. If you generate
-the index, use the index style gind.ist that came in the base
-directory of your LaTeX2e distribution (though it might have been
-moved elsewhere during installation).
-
-
-UNIX
-====
-
-On a Unix system, it will be easiest to use the Makefile I have
-written. Look over the variables at the top of the Makefile and
-adjust them as necessary. Invoke "make" with no arguments to see a
-list of targets.
