This directory contains: replacement mktex... programs which emulate the mktex... shell scripts in ../kpathsea directory; a replacement for the makempx script from ../web2c/mpware; and a replacement for the dvihp script from ../dviljk. These C programs are primarily for use in those environments where the standard Unix shell and utilities invoked by the scripts are not readily available. However, they can also be used on Unix platforms, although they were tested almost exclusively on MS-DOS and MS-Windows systems. Caveats: currently, the emulation programs don't support edited *.opt files, they emulate internally the effect of the original *.opt files distributed with Web2c sources. Variables set from the mktex.cnf file *are* supported. All of the programs except dvihp.c were written by Fabrice Popineau . dvihp.c was written by Eli Zaretskii . See `INSTALL' for instructions to build and install. This is free software. See the files COPYING* for copying permissions.
