<!-- HIER BEGINNT DER INHALT -->

    You may need to select downloading explicitly by using a menu of
    your browser for some of the files (e.g. the jar archives and the
    shell script). Please check the file sizes for the
    jar archives after download before trying to use them.<br>
    All <code>.zip</code> archives with text files are created with
    CR/LF lineend markers. *n*x users may wish to use an option to
    change that on extraction.
    <p>
    Things you need in any case:
    <ul>
      <li>
	The <a href="pp4sty.zip">style files</a> (a zip
	archive, prepared 12&nbsp;Sep&nbsp;2002) for formatting.<br>
        If you just need one of the files pick it from here:
		<ul>
		  <li><a href="pause.sty"><code>pause.sty</code></a>
		    as of 18&nbsp;Jun&nbsp;2002</a>
		  </li>
		  <li><a href="background.sty"><code>background.sty</code></a>
		    as of 26&nbsp;Apr&nbsp;2002</a>
		  </li>
		  <li><a href="pp4link.sty"><code>pp4link.sty</code></a>
		    as of 18&nbsp;Jun&nbsp;2000
		  </li>
		  <li><a href="mpmulti.sty"><code>mpmulti.sty</code></a>
		    as of 09&nbsp;Sep&nbsp;2002
		  </li>
		  <li><a href="texpause.sty"><code>texpause.sty</code></a>
		    as of 10&nbsp;Feb&nbsp;2000 (just for the record, not really
		  needed)</a>
		  </li>
		  <li><a href="pp4slide.sty"><code>pp4slide.sty</code></a>
		    as of 10&nbsp;Feb&nbsp;2000 (see note below)</a>
		  </li>
		</ul>
	Put these style files into your (local) LaTeX tree and update
	the contents cache, if necessary (<code>web2c: mktexlsr</code>).<br>
	Note for people who have installed the package
	<code>pdfslide</code>: this package is likely to contain an
	outdated version of <code>pause.sty</code>. You should
	remove that one.<br>
	Another note: the file <code>pdfslide.sty</code> quoted in the
	report has been renamed to <code>pp4slide.sty</code> to avoid
	a name conflict with the abovementioned other package.<br> 
	<code>pp4slide.sty</code> is just meant as an example 
	and <b>not recommended</b> for general use. There are
	some strange effects caused by the somewhat unsupported
	coloring options in <code>foils.cls</code>.
      </li>
      <li>The complete post processor software in <a
        href="pp4p.jar"><code>pp4p.jar</code></a> a jar archive (no
	need to unpack it!) version 0.9.4 (prepared 13&nbsp;Nov&nbsp;2002,
	285312&nbsp;bytes).<br>
	Depending on your operating system you need a batch file or
	script to call the post processor. These scripts require some
	customization to make sure they find the jar file.
		<ul>
		  <li>for Unix: a shell script <a
		    href="ppower4"><code>ppower4</code></a> to run the software
		    under Unix. It needs to be modified to know the
		    location of your copy of the <code>pp4p.jar</code>
		    file. 
		  </li>
		  <li>for Windows: a batch file <a
		  href="ppower4.bat"><code>ppower4.bat</code></a> to run the
		  software under Win32. It also needs to be modified
		  to know the location of your copy of the
		  <code>pp4p.jar</code> file and the Java runtime
		  environment.<br>
		  Thanks to <a href="mailto:cdeclercq@nordnet.fr">Christophe
		  Declercq</a> for providing this.
		  </li>
		  <li>for Mac:  There is an <a
		  href="pp4-macosx.sit.hqx">applescript</a> for easy
		  usage of ppower4 on Mac OS X to be used with the
		  TeX distribution by Gerben Wierda (it may be
		  necessary to update the post processor and the style
	          files of that distribution). Thanks to <a 
		  href="mailto:sneep@nat.vu.nl">Maarten Sneep</a> for
		  this contribution!
		  </li>
		</ul>
		 If someone can supply a script for other
		 environments and is willing to share it, I can
		 include it here.
	 </li>
    </ul>
    Additional items:
    <ul>
      <li>the sources of the examples (in <a href="exampled.zip">German</a> or
	<a href="examplee.zip">English</a>, both zip archives)
	given in the <a href="features.html">report</a>.
      </li>
      <li>the sources of the demonstration documents (finally) which
	should work with <code>latex</code> followed by
	<code>dvipdfm</code>, with  <code>pdflatex</code> and
	with <code>vlatex</code>: 
	<ul>
	  <li><a href="demo.zip"><code>demo.zip</code></a> and <a
	     href="edemo.zip"><code>edemo.zip</code></a> have the files
	     for the initial demo documents in German and English
 	     respectively.
	  </li>
	  <li><a href="extension.tex"><code>extension.tex</code></a>
	    can be used to create the  extensions demo (only in English).
          </li>
          <li><a href="leveldemo.zip"><code>leveldemo.zip</code></a>
		    has all files for <a
		 href="levelo.pdf"><code>levelo.pdf</code></a> 
		    from the features page.
	  </li>
	</ul>
        Note: 1. To process these sources you need to have the packages
  	<code>ifvtex</code> and <code>ifpdf</code> by Heiko Oberdiek
	from
	<code>CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/supported/oberdiek/</code>.<br>
	2. Some of the documents need two initial runs of
	<code>pdflatex</code>,	<code>vlatex</code> or
	<code>latex</code> to be processed properly.<br>		
	3. These documents are likely not to to work with previous versions
	of PPower4.
      </li>
      <li>
	 Source material<br>
         For those who would like to have a look into the processor and the
         PDF library.<br>
         If you only want to run the program, you do not need all this.
         But to compile the stuff, you have to install first <a
           href="http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/"><code>ant</code></a> for
         controlling the build and <a
           href="http://www.junit.org"><code>JUnit</code></a> for unit
         tests.<br>
	 For now we still need some more time to prepare the sources
  	 to work smoothly outside our development environment. If you
	 already got <code>ant</code> and <code>JUnit</code>
	 you can send a mail to request that if you are really
	 in need of this. I am sorry for this delay.
