Don't +expect any support if you decide to merge this release of LaTeX with +an older version of DirectTeX! If you have DirectTeX 2.0 or later +then you will only need to read the following instructions if you +decide to update the version of LaTeX distributed with DirectTeX. + +NOTE: All folder names are relative to your global TeX folder, e.g. +`TeX-Inputs:LaTeX' refers to the folder `{dt_TeXFolder}TeX-Inputs:LaTeX'. + + +SUMMARY +======= + +This file contains instructions on how to install LaTeX for DirectTeX. +Before reading this file you should read install.txt, which explains +how the LaTeX installation works in more detail. + +The following sections describe: + + * How to save any old version of LaTeX. + + * How to unpack the LaTeX distribution. + + * How to create the LaTeX format. + + * How to check that the installation worked. + + * Removing unnecessary files. + + +SAVING ANY OLD VERSION OF LATEX +=============================== + +If you have DirectTeX 2.0, you do not have to do anything do save the +old LaTeX 2.09 because it is already located in a folder `LaTeX-2.09' +and not within the `TeX-Inputs' folder, which is normally searched by +TeX. + + +UNPACKING THE DISTRIBUTION +========================== + +To unpack the LaTeX distribution: + + * Delete all files from the `TeX-Inputs:LaTeX' folder. + + * Move all files in the distribution to this folder. + + * Start up DirectTeX and set the current directory to this folder. + + * Execute the following commands: + + Set dt_TeXLogFiles '' + TeX -i unpack.ins + +This will start the unpacking process. This may take some time: +about 7 minutes on a Quadra 840. Now move the files `gind.ist' +and `gglo.ist' to the folder `Aux-Inputs:MakeIndex'. + + +CREATING THE LATEX FORMAT +========================= + +To create the LaTeX format: + + * Select `Initialize Formats...' from the `Formats' menu. + + * Select `LaTeX' or `BigLaTeX' and click OK. + +If you want to create the format manually, simply execute the command + + TeX -i latex.ltx + +NOTE: DirectTeX v2.0 does not contain a hyphen.tex file. Instead it +contains a folder `TeX-Inputs:Hyphenation' which contains some files +`hyphen-??.tex' and a file `hyphen.cfg'. The latter one may be +used to specify the hyphenation patterns to use. It is configured to +include the German and the US English hyphenation patterns and to set +the default language to US English. + + +CHECKING THAT THE INSTALLATION WORKED +===================================== + +To check that the installation worked: + + * Set the current directory to the `TeX-LogFiles' folder. + + * Execute the command + + LaTeX ltxcheck.tex + +This will run a test of the LaTeX installation and should produce +`OK!' to a number of tests. If it does not then see `PROBLEMS' +in install.txt. + +You have now installed LaTeX! + + +REMOVING UNNECESSARY FILES +========================== + +After LaTeX has been successfully installed, you might want to delete +some non-essential files (after making backup copies) to free up space +on your hard disk. From the `TeX-Inputs:LaTeX' folder, delete all +files ending in: + + .ins .drv .dtx .fdd .log .aux .txt .err .ps + +You may also look at the files *guide.tex, typeset and print them and +then delete them to save more space. These files contain some +information about certain characteristics of LaTeX. + + +--- Copyright 1994 Wilfried Ricken and the LaTeX3 project. --- +--- All rights reserved. --- -- cgit v1.2.3
