PM-TEX: A TeX-Shell for OS/2 Presentation-Manager
(international package without prescanners)
====================================================================
Version: 2.1 (18.01.93)
Author: Guillaume Schiltz
E-Mail: SCHILTZ@SUN1.RUF.UNI-FREIBURG.DE
Address:
Universität Freiburg
(Deutsches Seminar I)
Belfortstr. 14
D-7800 Freiburg
Germany
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Filelist of current package:
* PMTEX.EXE
* PMTEX.HLP
* PMTEX.DOC
* DUMMY.EXE
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
* PM-TeX Version 2.1 is an OS/2 2.0 Presentation Manager
application. It controls everyday used programs for
the TeX typesetting system such as editors, TeX-interpreter,
previewer and printerdrivers. PM-TeX is conceived to maintain
the emTeX-programs but can easily be configured for other
TeX-systems.
* The configuration of TeX can be performed by using the
setting-windows of PM-TeX.
* PM-TeX opens for each program a new session to which can be
switched from the main menu. So concurrency and easy support
of full-screen sessions is given.
* DOS and OS/2 programs are supported. DOS-Programs are
executed in a DOS-window.
* An automatic preview-update is supplied for the previewer
DVIPM 1.4s (emTeX).
* Option to minimize previewer for a TeX-session.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation:
* Copy PMTEX.EXE and DUMMY.EXE to the directory where your
TeX-files reside (e.g. C:\EMTEX) and create a program icon
for PM-TeX using the program-template.
To associate Tex-files with PM-TeX:
1. open the context menu of the program-template,
2. select 'open' (arrow),
3. select 'settings',
4. select 'association',
5. enter '*.TEX' in the 'new name' field,
6. select 'add'
By double-clicking on a TeX-fileicon (extension .TEX),
PM-TeX will automatically be called.
* Copy PMTEX.HLP to a directory specified by the HELP variable
in CONFIG.SYS (e.g. C:\OS2\HELP)
* Define all TeX relevant variables in CONFIG.SYS (e.g. TEXINPUT,
TEXFMT, DVIDRVINPUT,...).
Example for emTeX 3.0:
SET EMTEXDRV=F
SET TEXINPUT=F:\EMTEX\TEXINPUT;F:\EMTEX\USER
SET DVIDRVINPUT=F:\EMTEX\USER;F:\EMTEX\DOC;
SET DVIDRVFONTS=F:\TEXFONTS
SET DVIDRVGRAPH=F:\EMTEX\USER;F:\EMTEX\DOC\GR$r
* Call PM-TeX and select the menu item 'Settings'.
Define your favorite editors, specify the programs and their
arguments.
At the end save these settings by selecting 'Save settings'.
Example of program and argument settings:

Remarks:
* A german version of PM-TeX is available.
* This version doesn't support long file-names.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Prescanners:
* PM-TeX supports the prescanners TeuTeX-P and ALDTeX-P for phonetic
transcription. These prescanners translate coded strings and
generate TeX-macros for the corresponding transcription.
Two transcriptions are currently supported:
- Teuthonista, a phonetic transcription commonly used in German
dialectology and applied by a wide range of German dicalect
atlas projects.
- ALD-Transcription, a phonetic transcription based on the
Ascoli-Boehmer-AIS system and commonly used in Romance
dialectology, especially by the 'Atlante linguistico del ladino
centrale e dialetti limitrofi'
* The prescanners and all related files are not part of this package
but can be distributed to everyone interested in. Just send
a mail or letter to the above address.

New features:
* new main window (fits with DVIPM);
* inputfile as program argument;
* 'save settings' saves ALL settings, options and window
position;
* automatic preview-update for DVIPM 1.4s (beta)
or previewer allowing drag & drop.
Corrected Bugs:
* Ending of sessions caused PM-TeX to hang and refuse
input.
* White icon.
Tested environment:
* OS/2 2.0 GA + Service Pack (CSD XRx6055)
* emTeX 3.0a (TEXP)
* emTeX DVIPM 1.4s
* emTeX DVIHPLJ 1.4d
* EPM 5.51
Remarks on automatic preview-update for DVIPM 1.4s:
* the update is even performed if the previewer is
minimized to iconsize.
* the update is only performed when:
- a preview-session is active,
- the TeX-session has ended without errors,
- the previewer program-file includes the
characters 'DVIPM.EXE';
* the preview-update seems to work correctly only on systems
updated with servive pack;
* after about 10 successive updates DVIPM aborts with
error 2208. This is a bug of DVIPM (same error with
normal Drag&Drop).
* Example for settings of DVIPM:
