(2) Replace `(other)' with `(PCTeX)'.

(3) A few lines below this, look for the following lines:

(4) Uncomment these lines by deleting the `one. Then make the modifications as shown below. After modification, these lines should look like the following:

IMPORTANT: Do NOT delete the `and `'.

(5) Now save the changes you have made to `texsys.cfg'.

IMPORTANT: If you have installed PCTeX on a hard drive other than C:, please modify the paths in the `texsys.cfg' accordingly.

CREATING THE LaTeX FORMAT =========================

PCTeX for Windows:

If you are using PCTeX for Windows, you can run INITeX and assign the LaTeX2e format file to one of the two custom format Toolbar icons, `FMT1' or `FMT2'. Follow the 3 steps below to do this:

(1) Copy the file `latex.ltx' to `latex.tex'.

(2) Then run PCTeX for Windows. Select `Typeset' and `INITeX'.

(3) In the `INITeX' dialog box, check `Format1' or `Format2'. Under `Macro file name', enter `latex'; in `Path to input files', enter `<drive>:e'; in `Path to tfm files', you can keep the default paths. Then click `OK' to create the LaTeX2e format file.

PCTeX for MS-DOS:

If you are using PCTeX for MS-DOS, you can create the LaTeX2e format file by entering the following at the DOS prompt from your directory:

tex386b latex.ltx "" /i /pi=c:e;c: /pt=c:;c:

If you are using PCTeX (tex.exe), replace `tex386b' with `tex'. If you are using PCTeX/386 (tex386.exe), replace `tex386b' with `tex386'.

CHECKING THAT THE INSTALLATION WORKED =====================================

To check that the LaTeX2e installation worked correctly, copy the file `ltxcheck.tex' from your `e' subdirectory into another directory, for example `<drive>:'. Then from within this directory, follow the instructions below:

If you are using PCTeX for Windows, run LaTeX2e on `ltxcheck.tex' by clicking on the `FMT1' or `FMT2' Toolbar icon, depending on which one you assigned to LaTeX2e.

If you are using PCTeX for MS-DOS, enter the following at the DOS prompt:

tex386b &latex ltxcheck.tex

After this, you may wish to typeset `usrguide.tex' with LaTeX2e and print the result. This file documents many of the new commands available in LaTeX2e. (Remember to typeset the file twice.)

PROBLEMS ========

The names of the basic files in LaTeX2e have been changed since the beta version. For example, `unpack.ins' is now used instead of `unpack2e.ins'. For creating the LaTeX2e format file, `latex.ltx' rather than `latex2e.ltx' is now used. Be sure to use these new file names when unpacking files or creating the format file.

If you have other problems with the LaTeX installation, see the `PROBLEMS' section in `install.txt'.

If `ltxcheck' produces a `BAD' message, you will typically be able to figure out from the message what is wrong. If it is not obvious what caused the `BAD' message, then please consult the section on `ltxcheck' in `texpert.txt'.
