Introduction
------------
pkeditpm is an editor for modifying emTeX PK font files. pkeditpm is
an OS/2 Presentatin Manager application. OS/2 1.2 or later is
required. Both a 16-bit version for OS/2 1.X and a 32-bit version for
OS/2 2.X are provided. A mouse (or an equivalent pointing device) is
required.
Installing pkeditpm
-------------------
1. If \emtex\dll\emx.dll is already present on the drive where emTeX
has been installed, make a backup copy of \emtex\dll\emx.dll. You
should compare the date of all the files in \emtex\dll to the date
of the files in pkeditpm.zip. Make a backup copy of all the files
in \emtex\dll that are newer than those in pkeditpm.zip. Use
unzip -v pkeditpm
to list the files with dates in pkeditpm.zip.
2. Unpack pkeditpm.zip by typing
pkunzip -d pkeditpm c:\
where c:\ is the root of the emTeX installation. Use the drive
letter appropriate for your system. If you've installed emTeX on
drive D, for instance, type
pkunzip -d pkeditpm d:\
3. Unless already done, modify config.sys in the root directory of
your boot drive for pkeditpm on-line help. This is done by adding
the directory c:\emtex\help (use the correct drive letter) to the
environment variable HELP. Use a semicolon to separate the
directory name from the previous one. A semicolon at the end is
optional. Example:
SET HELP=C:\OS2\HELP;D:\EMTEX\HELP
In this example, OS/2 boots from drive C and emTeX is installed on
drive D. There may be additional directories listed in the SET
HELP statement of your config.sys file. Note that HELP must be set
in config.sys for proper operation of on-line help.
3. Unless already done, add the emTeX dynamic link libraries to the
system by modifying the LIBPATH statement of config.sys in the root
directory of your boot drive. This is done by adding the directory
c:\emtex\dll (use the correct drive letter) to the LIBPATH
statement. Use a semicolon to separate the directory name from the
previous one. A semicolon at the end is optional. The LIBPATH
statement lists all the directories searched by OS/2 when loading a
dynamic link library (DLL file). Note that LIBPATH is not an
environment variable. Alternatively, you can copy the files from
\emtex\dll to a directory listed by the LIBPATH statement. If you
have multiple copies of emx.dll, LIBPATH should only include the
directory containing the latest version. This can be done by
deleting all copies of emx.dll except for the newest one.
4. If you've made a copy of files in \emtex\dll in step 1, copy those
files back to \emtex\dll.
5. If you're using OS/2 2.X, you can use the 32-bit version of
pkeditpm. This is done by deleting (or renaming)
\emtex\pkeditpm.exe and renaming \emtex\pkedt386.exe to
pkeditpm.exe:
cd \emtex
ren pkeditpm.exe pkedt-16.exe
ren pkedt386.exe pkeditpm.exe
Note that the 32-bit version can handle characters of virtually
unlimited size. The 16-bit version is limited to about 500,000
pixels per character. (The old pkedit program is limited to about
65500 pixels per character.)
6. Reboot your system to activate the changes made to config.sys.
Running pkeditpm
----------------
Run pkeditpm by typing
pkeditpm
in an OS/2 command window. You can give the name of the PK file to
edit on the command line. Alternatively, you can create a program
object for pkeditpm under OS/2 2.X and run pkeditpm by double-clicking
on the pkeditpm icon or by dropping a PK file on that icon.
Using pkeditpm
--------------
Read the on-line documention. On-line help is available both in
English and German.
