To use this pre-processor, you must have the following tools:
- TEX tools, including the capability to output dvi files using
PostScript fonts (if you need to use the devnac devanagari font).
This implies having dvips, release 5.41 or newer, a program written
by Tomas Rokicki. If you don't have it, see the Frequently-Asked-Questions in
the newsgroup
comp.text.tex for details on how to get hold of dvips.
Actually, if you only need to use tamil or Frans Velthuis's Devnag font,
you don't need a dvi-to-ps converter.
Those fonts are described in Metafont, thus any dvi-to-your-printer
converter will be able to handle it (once you run Metafont and generate
the printer specific files).
For the IBM PC, the emTeX package includes the dvips executable,
dvips for the PC also resides in the SIMTEL archives.
- ANSI C compatible compiler, lex and yacc tools.
This program is provided with the source code, and a makefile.
The makefile is very specific to my machine, you will have to edit it to
get it working correctly on your machine.
If you do not have an ANSI C compatible compiler, you will have to make
the ``noansi'' object, see the makefile for details; it automatically
de-ansifies all the C sources.
Also, if you do not have lex/yacc, modify the makefile to directly use the
c-files provided.
