- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 1. Introduction
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This is a complete distribution of emTeX. It replaces the previous
- official emTeX distribution as well as all previous betatest packages.
-
- IMPORTANT: See CHANGES.ENG for changes with respect to the previous
- emTeX distribution. See INSTALL.ENG for the general installation
- instructions. See QUICK.ENG for quick installation instructions.
-
- IMPORTANT: Please use the new font library files (such as lj_base.fli)
- instead of the old ones (such as lj_0.fli through lj_5b.fli) as the
- Computer Modern font sources and the METAFONT modes have changed.
-
- The emTeX distribution includes the TeX typesetter, the METAFONT font
- generation program, printer drivers, screen previewers, and tools like
- BibTeX and MakeIndex. It also includes the macro packages LaTeX 2.09
- and LaTeX2e. Fonts are included as pixel files and METAFONT source
- files.
-
- Documentation for the TeX and METAFONT `programming languages' is not
- included. You can get appropriate books at libraries and book stores.
- However, the emTeX distribution includes documentation for the emTeX
- implementations of TeX and METAFONT.
-
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 2. Installing emTeX
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- You'll find the general installation instructions in INSTALL.ENG.
- You'll find quick installation instructions in QUICK.GER.
-
- You might want to print INSTALL.ENG file by typing
-
- copy a:\install.eng prn
-
- or print QUICK.ENG by typing
-
- copy a:\quick.eng prn
-
- (You don't need to print README.ENG.)
-
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 3. Getting help
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- You'll find some frequently asked questions with answers in
- \emtex\doc\english\help.eng. Before asking, you should read that
- file. Some don't like to be asked questions that are answered in
- help.eng.
-
- There is an electronic mailing list, emtex-user, for emTeX. To get
- information on how to subscribe and unsubscribe, send a message
- containing
-
- HELP
- INFO EMTEX-USER
-
- in the body to majordomo@physik.tu-berlin.de.
