armTeX 3.14159 - Release 3 - 11. Jul 1998

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

This version of armTeX requires filenames which are longer than 10 chars.
The Zip files must be unpacked into a directory that allows this.
You can use Richard Atterer's raFS or Jason Tribbeck's LongFiles. You can get the latest versions of these programs at:
  • http://home.augsburg.baynet.de/richard.atterer/ (raFS)
  • http://www.tribbeck.com/ (LongFiles)

    • The latest versions at the time of writing are provided in rafs115.zip and LF210.arc
    Be sure to use a dearchiver which uses / as the extension separator. InfoZip does this as does the !SparkPlug which is provided in splug.bas. It a self-extracting archive, set the filetype to BASIC and run it.

    These are the files currently distributed with armTeX:

    base.zip
    Documentation for armTeX. The basic directory structure and !TeX directory. Essential binaries. This archive holds just enough to run plain TeX.
    dviview.zip toolbox.zip
    Paul Field's DVI file previewer.
    latex.zip
    LaTeX2e in a preinstalled version. Tools and Graphics standard packages pre-installed.
    lowmemory.zip
    Binaries and format files which are essential for running TeX when memory is low. 4MB users should download this.
    babel.zip
    The Babel multilingual system (almost) pre-installed. Hyphenation patterns are supplied for American and British English in base.zip.
    ams.zip
    Pre-installed extensions to LaTeX from the American Mathematical Society. Really good tools for serious mathematical typesetting.
    bibtex.zip
    BibTeX is a bibliography generator for LaTeX.
    extras.zip
    Not so often needed binaries and Texinfo, the GNU documentation system.
    metafont.zip
    Binaries and prebuilt base file for Metafont. Sources for the Computer Modern typefaces. A version for 4MB users is in lowmemory.zip. You still need this archive to use Metafont, though.
    latexsrc.zip, babelsrc.zip, amssrc.zip
    LaTeX documented source code for LaTeX and the packages. These are not needed to use LaTeX.
    sources1.zip sources2.zip
    Sources for all the binaries in WEB and C format. Source code for BibTeX and Texinfo is not available.
    texfonts/
    This directory contains the TeXFonts 3.00 distribution (taken from HENSA). See the readme.txt file there.
    extras/
    Some programs that are useful with TeX. See extras/readme.txt

     

     

    To get TeX up and running you need base.zip, dviview.zip and some fonts, latex.zip is highly recommended. If you only have 4MB of memory you need lowmemory.zip also.
    armTeX will not run in less than 4MB.
