- This is the common TeX for the Acorn Archimedes, and also PCAT's, SUNS,
- VAXEN, 3B, etc.
-
- CommonTeX is NOT supported by me any longer - I am only supporting
- the CTeX port via web2c. However I will supply the sources to anyone
- who wants to support it themselves.
-
- Under Arthur, there are command files in the make directory to re-generate
- the complete system. All the sources, such as tex.h, are in the
- corresponding directory - i.e: h.tex
-
- TeX will look for files of three types: text files, font files, and format
- files. Format files are the files ending in .fmt which are generated by a
- \dump command (see the TeXbook). Font files end in .tfm and text files end in
- .tex, but TeX will input files of any extension including the null extension.
-
- To use the path searching facility, set environment variables:
-
- set texformats$path $.tex.texformats.
- set texinputs$path @.,$.tex.texinputs.
- set texfonts$path $.tex.texfonts.
-
- and
-
- set texformats texformats:
- set texinputs texinputs:
- set texfonts texfonts:
-
- The tex*$path variables are Archimedes paths - they may contain more than one
- directory, and multiple directories should be comma-separated and each should
- end in "." or ":".
-
- The tex* variables are used internally by the C version of tex only, and should
- not be altered from the above.
-
- The Author of this system is Pat Monardo, and the minor modifications needed
- to get it to run under Acorn systems have been made by Graham Toal.
-
- You can reach Pat Monardo at (415) 327 - 8114 after 10:00AM till whenever.

- Acorn product, but if this fails to happen I can be contacted at:
