THIS README FILE IS ALSO TO BE FOUND IN TeX FORM IN THE FILE readme.tex
(from Graham Toal):
See the files !Boot- and !DeskBoot- if you want to start up in the Wimp with
TeX preloaded.
Also, to run the previewer efficiently, you may prefer to alter some
configuration parameters; these are what I use:
FontSize 384K
FontMax1 30 pixels
FontMax2 34 pixels
FontMax3 40 pixels
FontMax4 3 pixels
FontMax5 0 pixels
FontMax 368k
WimpFlags 255
WimpMode 12
Late News (from Graham Toal):
07-Aug-90: Current release has a problem with cmdunh10; the outline font
file was corrupted and I've not been able to restore it yet. Also there is
a known bug in output of pages to draw files, to do with positioning of
rules.
Later News (from Wilfrid Kendall):
30-Jan-91: Here is Graham Toal's demo version of his ArMaTuReS distribution
of TeX. It includes only a few fonts. In particular it does NOT include the
maths fonts. However it is complete enough to show you how well the
ArMaTuReS distribution works. Note that moving it to hard disc (altering
!Boot and !Run files appropriately) leads to a considerable speed increase.
In this demo version I have included my fix of the cmdunh10 problem
mentioned above. Briefly, the outline font file has been reordered to
conform to cmr10 ordering (which I presume was the ordering prior to
corruption) and the cmr10 intmetrics file has been ``borrowed'' to be used
as a cmdunh10 intmetrics file. However there still appear to be some bugs
in the behaviour of cmdunh10 -- be warned!
The ArMaTuReS distribution Preview claims to require the following modules
in order to perform:
FontManager 2.50
ColourTrans 0.59
SuperSample 0.06
These are available from Graham Toal. HOWEVER I have found Preview works in
an entirely satisfactory way using
FontManager 2.42
ColourTrans 0.59
SuperSample 0.06
(available for example on the RISCOS extras disc) and I have adapted the
Preview !Run file of this demo version accordingly.
Note that Preview allows one to save pages in Drawfile format, thus
permitting a (slow) way of obtaining draft quality hardcopy. For hardcopy on
laser printers et cetera you need to obtain the full ArMaTuReS distribution
from Graham Toal or (via anonymous ftp) from phoibos.cs.kun.nl in directory
/pub/ArMaTuReS.
Useage:
To work on a new document doc do the following:
{i} create new folder doc,
{ii} write TeX file into doc.tex,
{iii} drag directory doc onto !TeX application icon,
{iv} drag directory doc onto !Preview application icon.
