- 1. Introduction
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- These instructions tell you how to perform a quick installation of
- emTeX. However, they apply only if all of the following conditions
- are true:
-
- - You have a 386 CPU or better and use DOS 3.0 or later or OS/2 2.0 or
- later (including Warp).
-
- - You want to use plain TeX or LaTeX2e.
-
- - You don't want to generate the base fonts yourself (for instance,
- because you have the appropriate xx_base.fli file for your printer).
-
- If at least one of these conditions do not apply or if you want to
- tune your installation or if you want to know what you are doing,
- please use the detailed general installation instructions in
- INSTALL.ENG.
-
- (The quick installation instructions are provided for those who take
- the general installation instructions to be too complicated -- for all
- other users, the general installation instructions are recommended.)
-
- These installation instructions assume that emTeX will be installed on
- drive C: in directory \emtex and that the distribution files are on
- diskettes in drive A:. If you choose to install emTeX in a different
- directory or if the distribution files are in a different location,
- you have to modify the commands appropriately.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 2. Installing unzip.exe
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- If you already have unzip.exe, you can use that for unpacking the
- archive files.
-
- If you have pkunzip.exe (version 2.x), you can use that for unpacking
- the archive files. Note, however, that you have to type `pkunzip -d'
- instead of `unzip'.
-
- If you have neither unzip.exe nor pkunzip.exe (version 2.x), type the
- following commands, where `c:\bin' is a directory in your PATH
- (diskette 1 in drive A:).
-
- 2.1. Installing unzip.exe for DOS
- ---------------------------------
-
- Enter the following commands:
-
- a:\unz512x3 unzip386.exe
- ren unzip386.exe unzip.exe
-
- 2.2. Installing unzip.exe for OS/2
- ---------------------------------
-
- Enter the following commands:
-
- c:
- cd \bin
- a:\unz512 unzip32.exe
- ren unzip32.exe unzip.exe
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 3. Modifying autoexec.bat and config.sys
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- When adding a directory, use a semicolon to separate the new directory
- from the last one.
-
- Reboot after making these changes to autoexec.bat or config.sys.
-
- 3.1 Modifying autoexec.bat and config.sys under DOS
- ---------------------------------------------------
-
- Add c:\emtex\bin to PATH= of autoexec.bat.
-
- Add c:\emx\bin to PATH= of autoexec.bat.
-
- Add the following lines to autoexec.bat:
-
- set emtexdir=c:\emtex
- set dvidrvfonts=c:\texfonts
- set mfjobopt=/3
-
- Please don't use spaces! (`set emtexdir = c:\emtex' won't work!)
-
- Set the environment variable TMP in autoexec.bat (unless already set)
- by adding a line line the following one to autoexec.bat:
-
- set tmp=c:\temp
-
- TMP should point to an existing scratch directory (create the
- directory if it does not yet exist).
-
- If there is a line `FILES=xx' in config.sys where xx is less than 20,
- change xx to 20 or more.
-
- If there is no line `FILES=xx' in config.sys, add this line:
-
- FILES=20
-
- Remove `BREAK=ON' from config.sys.
-
- To avoid overflow of the environment space, add this line to
- config.sys (this example assumes that DOS is installed in directory
- c:\dos):
-
- SHELL=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM C:\DOS /E:1024 /P
-
- If you already have such a line in config.sys, you might have to
- increase the value of the /E option by approximately 512. Note that
- there are some versions of DOS where the syntax or semantics are
- slightly different.
-
- 3.2 Modifying config.sys under OS/2
- -----------------------------------
-
- Use EPM, not E, for editing config.sys!
-
- Add c:\emx\dll to LIBPATH= of config.sys.
-
- Add c:\emtex\dll to LIBPATH= of config.sys.
-
- Add c:\emtex\bin to SET PATH= of config.sys.
-
- Add c:\emx\bin to SET PATH= of config.sys.
-
- Add c:\emtex\help to SET HELP= of config.sys.
-
- Add c:\emtex\book\english to SET BOOKSHELF= of config.sys.
-
- Add the following lines to config.sys:
-
- set emtexdir=c:\emtex
- set dvidrvfonts=c:\texfonts
- set mfjobopt=/3
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 4. Choosing fonts
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Depending on your printer, choose one of the following font sets:
-
- bj Canon BubbleJet (360 DPI)
- dj HP DeskJet (300 DPI)
- fax Fax (204x196 DPI)
- fx 9-pin printers (240x216 DPI)
- ito C.ITOH 8510A (160x144 DPI)
- lj HP LaserJet (300 DPI)
- ljh HP LaserJet 4 (600 DPI)
- p6h 24-pin printers (360 DPI)
- p6l 24-pin printers (180 DPI)
- p6m 24-pin printers (360x180 DPI)
- qj HP QuietJet (192 DPI)
- sty EPSON Stylus 800 (360 DPI)
-
- If you do not have a printer, choose `p6l' (for a slow machine) or
- `lj' (for a fast machine).
-
- For the rest of this document, let `XX' represent the name of the font
- set you have chosen.
-
- Copy the base fonts of the font set, if you have them:
-
- c:
- md \texfonts
- copy a:\XX_base.fli c:\texfonts
-
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 5. Unpacking the ZIP files
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Type the following commands to unpack the ZIP files. The diskette
- numbers refer to the recommandations of DISKETTE.DOC:
-
- c: --- Diskette ---
- cd \ 1440KB 1200KB
- unzip a:\first 1 1
- unzip a:\emxrsx 1 1
- unzip a:\mfjob12c 1 1
- unzip a:\dvid16e1 2 2
- unzip a:\dvid16e2 3 3
- unzip a:\tex4b 4 4
- unzip a:\mf4b 5 5
- unzip a:\fontcm 5 6
- unzip a:\fontltx 5 6
- unzip a:\l2input 6 6
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 6. Creating format files
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Type the following commands to create format files:
-
- cd \emtex\btexfmts
- makefmt 386 plain US <--- if you need PLAIN TeX
- makefmt 386 latex2e US 8bit -b \emtex\bin\latex2e
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 7. Creating base files
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Type the following commands to create the PLAIN base file:
-
- cd \emtex\bmfbases
- makebas 386 plain
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 8. Testing the installation
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Type the following commands to typeset a sample document:
-
- md \test
- cd \test
- latex2e sample2e
-
- The following two sections tell you how to view the sample output on
- the screen (as defined above, `XX' is the name of the font set to use,
- e.g. `lj').
-
- 8.1. Viewing the sample output under DOS
- ----------------------------------------
-
- Type
-
- v @XX sample2e
-
- The following message will be displayed:
-
- Warning 1209: do you want to call MFjob to generate 1 missing font now?
- Type Y, N, or ?:
-
- Reply `y'. If you have not installed fonts, computing the fonts for
- the sample will take a while.
-
- When the page shows up (white background), you can scale the output by
- typing `-'. To quit, type `q'.
-
- 8.2. Viewing the sample output under OS/2
- -----------------------------------------
-
- Type
-
- vp @XX sample2e
-
- A dialog box asking
-
- Do you want to call MFjob to generate 1 missing font now?
-
- will pop up. Click on `Yes'.
-
- Select the window titled `dvipm - sample2e'. You can scale the output
- by typing `-'. To quit, type Alt+F4.
-
- 8.3. Printing the sample
- ------------------------
-
- The command to print the sample depends on your printer. See
- \emtex\doc\english\dvidrv.doc for the appropriate command for your
- printer, here are examples for some printers:
-
- prthplj sample2e <--- HP LaserJet, 300 DPI (lj)
- prthpljh sample2e <--- HP LaserJet IV, 600 DPI (ljh)
- prthpdj sample2e <--- HP DeskJet (lj)
- prtp6l sample2e <--- NEC P6, 180 DPI (p6l)
- prtp6m sample2e <--- NEC P6, 360x180 DPI (p6m)
- prtp6h sample2e <--- NEC P6, 360 DPI (p6h)
- prtlql sample2e <--- EPSON LQ, 180 DPI (p6l)
- prtlqm sample2e <--- EPSON LQ, 360x180 DPI (p6m)
- prtlqh sample2e <--- EPSON LQ, 360 DPI (p6h)
- prtsty sample2e <--- EPSON Stylus 800 (sty)
- prtfx sample2e <--- EPSON FX-80 (fx)
- prtbj10e sample2e <--- Canon BJ-10e (bj)
- prtbj300 sample2e <--- Canon BJ300 (bj)
-
- See \emtex\doc\english\dvidrv.doc for additional commands (for exotic
- printers, for creating drafts, for creating bitmaps).
-
- If your printer is not connected to the default printer port (PRN),
- give the printer port as second argument, for example:
-
- prthplj sample2e lpt2
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 9. Finishing the installation
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Adjust the printer-model-specific margins, according to
- \emtex\doc\english\dvidrv.doc.
-
- See the general installation instructions in INSTALL.ENG for
- installation of other packages and for further configuration of your
- installation.
