@h1 Introduction
Welcome to @bf{pmCSTeX for EPM}, version 16. 4. 2000.
@minitoc
@h2 Abstract
@bf{pmCSTeX for EPM} is a macro package for the OS/2 editor EPM. It adds CSTeX
menu into the EPM's menu, hotkeys as well as some buttons on the EPM toolbar,
allowing many of (em)TeX-related actions (TeXing, dvi-previewing, dvipsing,
BibTeXing...) to be easily accessed.
The aim of this work was the implementation of a pleasant emTeX menu system for
OS/2. Editor EPM has been chosen since it provides wonderful programming
capabilities, and, what it is the most important for the Czech users, there is
a programmable Czech keyboard implemented by Z. Wagner (you can get it
anonymously from ftp.icpf.cas.cz). (It should be noted that the keyboard that
IBM includes in Warp is nearly unusable for programmers, who mostly prefer a
reasonable combination of the US and Czech keyboard layouts, and not the
standard Czech typing machine layout. It is really bad that IBM does not
provide (nor in Merlin!) a configurable keyboard driver or the source code for
pmmerge.dll and keyboard.dcp).
This package is called @bf{pmCSTeX} since it is related to the CSTeX
distribution of TeX and because it was worked out by me (@bf{pm}). CSTeX
(Czech and Slovak TeX) is being released since 1993 and it is based on the TeX
implementation by Eberhard Mattes (the famous emTeX). In addition to the
standard emTeX distribution, the CSTeX distribution contains styles and some
programs that support TeX typesetting in the Czech and Slovak languages. CSTeX
includes an installation program (which is missing in emTeX) and a very
pleasant menu system for DOS. Nowadays, CSTeX covers Czech specials for unixes
as well.
@bf{The pmCSTeX package does not require CSTeX installation; you can use it
with any (em)TeX distribution.}
@bf{Note:} The coincidence of the abbreviation of my name and the abbreviation
of the Presentation Manager is just accidental. Unfortunately, IBM does not
pay me any royalties. Thus even this package is free, you are welcome to send
me donations :-)
Joking... postcards are welcome, but sending a short e-mail is easier and more
rapid.
@if false
Statistics: till 11. 11. 1997, I have got a lot of e-mails, and one
postcard. Thank You!

@h2 Motivation
Working on the @tt{pmCSTeX for EPM}, the author was motivated by the following
packages:
@itemize
@item
@tt{CSTeX MNU for DOS}: TeX menu system for DOS, included in the CSTeX
distribution. Author: Petr Ol
@item
@tt{TeXshell}: Turbo Vision TeX developing system (for DOS and DOS window in
OS/2). I liked it very much (I like Borland-like environments, on-line help
etc.), it is programmable in a wonderful way. However, it's just DOS and it
has many disadvantages coming from the Turbo Vision library: it has 64KB limit
on file sizes, it crashes from time to time (in my OS/2 window), and there is
no "Undo" function.
Author: Juergen Schlegelmilch
@item
@tt{EPMTeX}: TeX menu system for editor EPM. Good, but it does not
fulfilled my high expectations I got accustomed to in TeXshell (late 1995), e.g.
it always appended the Master file at the command line.
I accepted its First line syntax (Master:, Format: etc.).
Authors: Jon Hacker and Rodney Korte
@item
@tt{WETeX}: actions and icons are defined for texing, previewing and more for
a document.
Based on WPS and EAs, not Master: notation. I did not use it because of not
having enough RAM to work under WPS (I had 12 MB RAM and I preferred @tt{Program
Commander/2} @tt{RUNWORKPLACE} replacement).
Author: Zden
k Wagner
@item
emacs: well, I never used this editor except for very simple editing (I prefer
@tt{vi} on unix). However, I was always amazed by its feature "(La)TeX current
paragraph"---therefore I implemented it in the pmCSTeX for EPM too.
Authors: GNU
@item
pmgraf: that's my integrated Turbo Vision environment for plotting the 2d and 3d
graphs (see my WWW page for more details). The build-in editor (the same as
that in the TeXshell) contains the hotkeys for pull-down
menus for LaTeX environments and font sizes, and a Greek keyboard.
Thus I implemented these features into EPM as well.
Author: Petr Mikul
@enditemize
Note: in 1998, there appeared a package called @tt{epmtfe: EPM TeX Front
End} (distributed as @tt{epmtfe.zip}) by Walter Schmidt. Unfortunately, the
author reeinvets the functionality of @bf{pmCSTeX for EPM}. Even though I
immediately asked him not to duplicate the work and make a collaborate
together, this has not happened so that nowadays you may find both our packages
on the net. In my humble opinion, I still believe that my @bf{pmCSTeX} is
superiour to @tt{epmtfe}, profiting from its two-year advance and writing my
thesis as well as many other documents with it.

@h1 Installation
@label Installation
The installation instructions are described in the subsections.
This package was developed and tested on EPM 6.03 and EPM 6.03b. Get the
latest version of EPM if you have an older one, i.e. EPM 5.51 shipped with
OS/2 Warp 3.0. OS/2 Warp 4.0 (Merlin) ships with EPM 6.03b; however, for
compiling the macros yourself you need the whole EPM distribution from the Net.
@ipfminitoc
@h2 Information for Warp 3.0 users
@label Installation on Warp 3.0
Get the EPM 6.03b (or later) from the Net and install it into the directory
@tt{\APPS\EPM} (or choose another directory if you like, but then change all
the following information accordingly).
@h2 Information for Merlin users
@label Installation on Warp 4.0
EPM 6.03b is a part of the @bf{OS/2 Warp 4.0 (Merlin)}. This operating
system ships a localized version of EPM, which consists of the files
@tt{\OS2\APPS\*epm*},
@tt{\OS2\APPS\DLL\epm*}, @tt{\OS2\APPS\DLL\etk*} and
@tt{\OS2\HELP\EPM*}
(at least in my Merlin CZ it is like that).
Consequently, you have these possibilities of installing and running EPM:
1. Use the shipped EPM. Install pmCSTeX as explained further (into
@tt{\APPS\EPM\CSTeX}), but do not forget to keep EPMPATH pointing also to the
\OS2\APPS directory @tt{(SET EPMPATH=...;E:\OS2\APPS)}. Then look which files
in the directory \APPS\EPM\CSTeX are found before those of the same name in the
directory \OS2\APPS (actions.lst, for instance).
2. Use the shipped EPM, but move it into the directory @tt{\APPS\EPM} in order
to avoid the confusion of having several files of the same name in different
directories on the hard disk: Create the directory @tt{\APPS\EPM}. Move all
files @tt{\OS2\APPS\*epm*} and @tt{\OS2\APPS\DLL\epm*}, @tt{\OS2\APPS\DLL\etk*}
and @tt{\OS2\HELP\EPM*} to @tt{\APPS\EPM}. Then install pmCSTeX as explained
further.
3. Let the shipped localized EPM in its @tt{\OS2\APPS} directories. Install
the EPM from the Net (this is a US version) into @tt{\APPS\EPM}, thus you will
get the whole documentation, the sources for all macros etc. Finally, install
pmCSTeX as explained further. Any time, you will be able to start the
localized EPM from the command line @tt{\OS2\APPS\epm.exe} or from an
associated icon.
I use the method 3.
@h2 Upgrading pmCSTeX for EPM
@label Upgrading pmCSTeX
Upgrading pmCSTeX from the release 1996 requires complete
reinstallation (but nobody is still using this version I hope).
If you have a working configuration from 1997 or later, then instead of the
full installation make the upgrade discussed in this section. Replace the old
files by their current version, or read the documentation as mentioned below:
@itemize
@item
Updated EPM macros: CSTeX.e, CSTeX.ex, pm4EPM.e, pm4EPM.ex,
pm_keys.e, pm_keys.ex, Profile.erx
@item
Updated documentation: pmCSTeX.INF, pmCSTeX.emxdoc
@item
MyCNF.e and MyCNF.ex have been taken away from the <=1997 releases (its
@tt{defload} routine for @hpt{syntax highlighting} has been moved to pm_keys.e;
thus also @tt{'link MyCNF'} has been taken away from the Profile.erx
@item
@hpt{Installation of advanced macros} with many additions for fine TeX et al.
files writing has been newly written. Its corresponding macro files are in the
directory @tt{install\advanced}
@item
There are no new changes to config.sys
@item
LaTeX2e.INF of the version 1.6 is available from the directory
@tt{install\l2e_ndx}, and LaTeX2e.NDX has been updated as well
@item
Updated sampactn.e / sampactn.ex (see the reference to 29. 12. 1997 in
@hpt{History})
@item
Please move all files from @tt{install\dvips} directory into
@tt{\EMTEX\data\dvips} directory. Then you can easily use @hpt{Double-side or
slot 2 printing from dvips}
@enditemize
Please, see the @hpt{History} of pmCSTeX to track for the changes I made in
pmCSTeX since your current version.
@h2 Installation of pmCSTeX for EPM
@label Installation of pmCSTeX
I hope you already unzip-ed pmCSTeX.zip in an empty directory. Let us suppose
you correctly installed EPM to the directory E:\APPS\EPM. Thus make directory
E:\APPS\EPM\CSTeX (note: use your drive letters; I have applications on drive
@tt{E:} and the operating system on drive @tt{F:}). Then
@enumerate
@item
Move all files (not directories!) from the @tt{install} directory into
@tt{\APPS\EPM\CSTeX}. Since you cannot move this pmCSTeX.INF while reading it,
please exit it before the movement and then reload it back from
@tt{\APPS\EPM\CSTeX}.
@item
Move @tt{CSTeX.*} from one of the @tt{install\e-ex} directories into
@tt{\APPS\EPM\CSTeX}: the users of the CSTeX distribution use the directory
e-ex.CS, all other world uses e-ex.NCS. [Note: @tt{install\e-ex.CS\CSTeX.e}
is compiled with the option @tt{CSTEX_CSTEX = 1}, and
@tt{install\e-ex.NCS\CSTeX.e} is compiled with the option @tt{CSTEX_CSTEX = 0},
see the section about the macro @hpt{recompiling}.)
@item
Move @tt{install\e-ex.CS\Profile.erx} or @tt{install\e-ex.NCS\Profile.erx} into
@tt{\APPS\EPM} (this is an "@tt{autoexec.bat}" for each file loaded into EPM),
but please take care when moving it: you may already have this file which you
may have already modified---in that case only modify what is missing in your
Profile.erx. At least you should add and @tt{'link pm4epm'} and @tt{'link
CSTeX'}, and something more for @hpt{pm_keys}, Czech keyboard, syntax
highliting, etc.
@item
Switch on the EPM option @tt{Settings/Misc/Rexx profile} so that EPM reads
Profile.erx for each file being loaded.
@item
CSTeX distribution users should install the Czech keyboard driver for EPM
(implemented by Z. Wagner) if they are not satisfied with the typing machine
layout. If you already use the original czech.e and czech.ex, you have to
replace it by the version compatible with pmCSTeX -- see also @hpt{Czech.E}.
Therefore backup the original czech.e and czech.ex and replace them by moving
the files @tt{install\e-ex.CS\czech.ex} and @tt{install\e-ex.CS\czech_PM.zip}
into the directory \APPS\EPM\CSTeX.
@item
Move the file actions.lst from the directory @tt{install\apps-epm} into
@tt{\APPS\EPM}. Be aware again---thi file can exist on your system, so: add
only the changes of actions.lst, i.e. add the lines @tt{CSTeX} and
@tt{pm4EPM}.
@item
Move all files from @tt{install\cmd.CS} or @tt{install\cmd.NCS} into your
@tt{\EMTEX\bin} directory. You must replace these files if you had the
previous version of pmCSTeX (because of introducing the keyword EMTEXOPT),
except for the @tt{*dvips.cmd} files, that you may have modified yourself
(sheet alignment can be introduced either here or in the dvips.cnf file).
@item
Please move all files from @tt{install\dvips} directory into
@tt{\EMTEX\data\dvips} directory. Then you can easily use @hpt{Double-side or
slot 2 printing from dvips}.
@item
CSTeX-distribution users should move the binary files
@tt{install\exe.CS\vlnka2.exe} and @tt{install\exe.CS\dvi-out2.exe} into
@tt{\EMTEX\bin} directory. The original Turbo Pascal sources were compiled by
Speed Pascal for OS/2, so that kbdvio32.dll must be present somewhere on your
LIBPATH (I prefer the directory \UTILS).
If you are yet not using the @tt{cs2cs} convertor, then copy it somewhere on
your PATH (I have it in the directory @tt{\UTILS}). The full package of this
programs, accompanied by the documentation and the source code, is available
from the author's (Ferdinand Prantl, Jr.) ftp site,
@tt{ftp://aip1.fsv.cvut.cz/sys/pub/users/ferdi/cs2cs.zip}.
@endenumerate
Now, edit config.sys and change it like (use the letters of the partitions
according to your hard disk, my system drive is @tt{F:}):
@samplecode
SET EPMPATH=E:\APPS\EPM;E:\APPS\EPM\CSTeX;...;F:\OS2\APPS;...
@endsamplecode
Further,
@samplecode
SET EMTEXOPT=/mt65000 /mp65000
@endsamplecode
(this change together with the update of .cmd files is dated 19.5.1996, see
@hpt{History}).
Add the path to your dictionary files US.dic, UK.dic, FR.dic, GR.dic etc...
(please, read about the @hpt{spell checker} for more details where to get these
files and how to ensure that they are used for both EPM and IBM Works):
@samplecode
SET EPM_DICTIONARIES=e:\apps\epm\Dictionaries
@endsamplecode
[Note: it's now more then one year after the Czech IBM released their
"localized" version of Warp, but they are still not able to produce CZ.dic :-((
This and many other small things make really bad impression on the wonderful
Warp.)
I'm quite sure you want the on-line hypertext help about the LaTeX2e commands.
Thus move the files from the directory @tt{l2e_ndx} into the directory
@tt{%EMTEXDIR%\BOOK\ENGLISH} (like @tt{E:\EMTEX\BOOK\ENGLISH}). You can read
@tt{@CTINDX} (in Czech) or @tt{@READNDX} (in English) how I have created
LaTeX2e.INF and LaTeX2e.NDX. If you follow the instructions there you find
that you have to modify your config.sys:
@samplecode
SET BOOKSHELF=..;E:\EMTEX\BOOK\ENGLISH;...
SET EPMPATH=...;E:\EMTEX\BOOK\ENGLISH;...
SET HELPNDX=...+LaTeX2e.NDX
@endsamplecode
Now reboot your computer. When it is done, go to @tt{E:\APPS\EPM\CSTeX} and
type
@verbatim
start epm
@endverbatim
A new menu item CSTeX should appear on the menu bar. If not, something was
wrong and you should repair it (have a good chance!).
Now install the CSTeX toolbar. Go to @tt{File/Settings/Toolbars}, use "Import"
file @tt{E:\APPS\EPM\CSTeX\CSTeX.bar}, name it @bf{CSTeX toolbar} and then
"Make current". Admire it. If you are not satisfied, change the toolbar as
you wish (I encourage you to remove it the next day after well sleeping, since
my toolbar is really good :-)) ... but I accept that you may like another
one).
Please, now verify that you can run from the command line commands latex
(=latex2e), plaintex, latex209 etc. (CSTeX-distribution users should use
cslatex, csplain, cslatex209 etc.). You should have installed emTeX in such a
way, that you have latex.cmd, plain.cmd,... (or latex.cmd = cslatex.cmd,
csplain.cmd, cslatex209.cmd,...) in @tt{%EMTEXDIR%\bin}, see above. So you
should be able to recompile any LaTeX document typing the command (in an OS/2
window)
@samplecode
latex _any_latex_document_.tex
@endsamplecode
You should be able to start the previewer by
@samplecode
start dvipm @dvipm.cnf _any_tex_document_.dvi
@endsamplecode
(I supposed you copied lj.cnf or p6l.cnf or whatever resolution you want to the
file dvipm.cnf). If the above does not work, configure emTeX properly. You
find valuable information in files @tt{\EMTEX\BOOK} and @tt{\EMTEX\DOC}.
Check the last lines of @tt{%EMTEXDIR%\bin\maketexp.cmd} file if you want that
dvips generates fonts automatically (dvipm does that par definion).
If you want to run (La)TeX over your document from the command line (without
launching EPM), you can also use @tt{pmTeXit.cmd _your_file_.tex}. However,
pmTeXit.cmd knows only about the @tt{Format:} keyword, so it is really better
to run TeXing from the EPM, namely if you are using AMS-LaTeX and the
@tt{Emtexopt:} keyword. See @hpt{to do}.
Now you can customize your EPM: when installing EPM for my friends, I usually
delete @tt{\OS2\epm.ini} and copy them my @tt{install\apps-epm\epm.ini} into
the directory \APPS\EPM---you can do that too it if you like. You can play
with the values in File/Settings/Misc., and read their documentation (I think
you must have "REXX support" on; and I further prefer "Stream mode editing").
You may or may not want the automatic @hpt{syntax highlighting}.
Read @hpt{Czech.E} if you want to use the Czech keyboard in pmCSTeX or go to
@hpt{Tutorial}. Please don't forget to read about the @hpt{syntax} of the
keywords on the first line of the Master file.
@h2 Installing psview.cmd
psview package is in the subdirectory psview. This is a nice small tool for
rapid PostScript file visualisation. It is a keyboard-driven front-end to
GhostScript (not mouseable as gvpm). Great for small PostScript files or for
writing your own commands.
Installation: unzip the package. Read and execute @tt{ReadMe}, which should
result in the following:
@itemize
@item
*.ps (i.e. gs312.ps and ps_view.ps) are in your GhostScript directory
(e.g. @tt{E:\GS\gs4.03})
@item
*.cmd (at least psview.cmd which is used by pmCSTeX for EPM),
must be somewhere along your PATH
@item
finally insure that psview.cmd and gs.exe (=gsos2.exe) are on PATH;
config.sys have sth. like (see the GS documentation)
@tt{SET GS_LIB=E:\GS\gs4.03;E:\GS\gs4.03\fonts;.\}
Note: there is already GhostScript 5.10 in December 1997.
@enditemize
@h2 Syntax highlighting
@label syntax highlighting
There are people that do like syntax highlighting (yes, I do) and those they do
not like this colour circus. This section deals with the installation of this
feature. If you have copied all files and @hpt{pm_keys} from the pmCSTeX
distribution without changes, then it should work. Just try to download any .h
or .cpp or .tex or ... file into EPM.
I prefer the syntax highlighting as usually used in Turbo Vision---@em{yellow
letters on blue background}. @bf{If you set those colours in the Settings of
EPM}, then you may find worth to copy the files from the directory
@tt{pm_hilit} to the directory \APPS\EPM to adjust the appropriate highlighting
files for this colour scheme. Moreover, syntax highlighting for .log files
(created by TeX) are supported by the @tt{epmkwds.log} file, so as the
PostScript files (this is surely not complete; don't you have a list of all the
postscript commands?) and @tt{awk} files (GNU @tt{awk} is a great and simple
C/REXX-like scripting language). Please don't forget to backup the original
files @tt{epmkwds.*} files before you overwrite them. Please see also @hpt{I
cannot see \begin} FAQ.
Now the installation (or the deinstallation if you proceed in the reversed
order) of the colour highliting:
In order to apply the colours into files listed on the command line after EPM
has been started, add the following line to your Profile.erx file (done in its
supplied version):
@verbatim
'cstex_highlight_all S'
@endverbatim
To let the files loaded from within EPM (e.g. via menu) to be coloured, put
the following code into any @tt{*.e} file and compile it---I have it in
pm_keys.e (see @hpt{pm_keys}):
@verbatim
defload
'a_togl_hilit S'
@endverbatim
and recompile it.
Files are highlighted according to their extension listed in sampactn.e file
(and loaded from sampactn.ex) according to the colour scheme defined in the
file like @tt{epmkwds._extension_}. The file @tt{epmkwds.c} contains the
syntax of the colouring. Of course, you should have put the line
@samplecode
'link sampactn'
@endsamplecode
into your Profile.erx (also done in the supplied Profile.erx).
My sampactn.e and sampactn.ex included in the pmCSTeX distribution includes
also .sty, .cls and .dtx extensions for being TeX-like coloured, and the .log
file colour, and the fortran @tt{.f} files. If you want to recompile
sampactn.e yourself, you need files @tt{english.e, stdconst.e} and
@tt{menuhelp.h} from epmmac.zip.
@h2 My config.sys
@label my config.sys
Occasionally problems appear when some global variables in config.sys are
missing. Here is my config.sys if you want to have a look:

@h2 Spell checking in EPM
@label spell checker
EPM comes with the US dictionary and synonym file (the EPM found on the Net,
and the EPM enclosed in the "localized" Czech Merlin). If you want to proof
text written in another language, it could be easy if you have BonusPak for
other languages, because the IBM Works from your BonusPak uses the same
dictionary files as the EPM. Thus go to the directory of IBM Works of the
desired language version on your CD-ROM BonusPak (shipped with OS/2 Warp 3.0)
and copy @tt{diction.@} file to your hard disc. Unpack it by the command
@tt{unpack diction.@} and copy the dictionary files (US.dic, UK.dic,
francais.dic (I renamed this to FR.dic), GR.dic) to the desired location (I
prefer @tt{\apps\epm\Dictionaries}). Then type the dictionary filename into
EPM Settings/Paths/Dictionary file and rename the default personal dictionary
lexam.adl to something like UK.adl, FR.adl etc. There is/was another
confusion: some versions of EPM called these files @tt{*.dct}; look at your
hard disk, and delete it or rename it to @tt{*.dic}.
Put into your config.sys:
@samplecode
SET EPM_DICTIONARIES=e:\apps\epm\Dictionaries\
@endsamplecode
The same dictionary should be set up from the IBM Works settings if you have
installed this package.
Then you can use the menu @tt{CSTeX/Spell-Checker} to easily switch between the
dictionaries of different languages, which saves your time and nerves for doing
that in File/Settings/Paths/Dictionary Files and Personal Dictionary. The
chosen dictionary is used until you exit EPM. You can make this change
permanent by entering and closing the Settings.
Note that your attempt to change the dictionary when Auto-spellcheck is on does
not change the dictionary.
Since it seems that there are people that don't have that BonusPak CD, I have
put some dictionaries somewhere on our ftp server and linked it to my WWW page.
Or have IBM put it somewhere? (Well, I was badly surprised that the Czech
"localized" (!) version of OS/2 Warp 4.0 Merlin contains only the US (!)
dictionary, even I complained about that in the beta-testing).
@h2 Installation of advanced macros
@label Installation of advanced macros
If you are too tired of installing pmCSTeX, you may skip this section and read
this section later.
Otherwise, you may install the following features:
@ipfminitoc
These they are independent of the @tt{CSTeX} macro functionality, and included
into the pmCSTeX package since they are fine when writing TeX files.
See also: @hpt{recompiling EPM}
@h3 TeX-aware paragraph reformatting
@label Alt-P
The hotkey @tt{Alt-P} is used for reformatting the current paragraph to the
current margins (see also @tt{Alt-Z} in @hpt{pm_keys}). However, the default
reflowing routine is not TeX-aware, i.e. it breaks lines with comments (text
after the @tt{%} character) and reformats into lines also the @tt{\begin{sth}
... \end{sth}} LaTeX environments.
I have modified the macros responsible for the reformatting process. If these
are installed (see below), then the TeX-aware function is activated when
editing @tt{*.tex, *.latex, *.sty, *.dtx, *.cls} files, see also the constant
TEX_EXTENSIONS in @tt{install\advanced\PM_MyCNF.e}). If no text is marked and
@tt{Alt-P} is pressed, then the paragraph reflowing stops at the first blank
line (default) or at line containing:
@itemize
@item
@tt{%} --- comment
@item
@tt{\begin} --- new environment
@item
@tt{\end} --- end of environment
@item
@tt{\item} --- new item
@item
@tt{\label} --- label
@item
@tt{\[, \], \(, \)} --- math environments
@enditemize
Notes:
@enumerate
@item
For adding another TeX-reflow-stopping keyword (e.g. @tt{$ ... $}), change the
@tt{pm_reflow_is_tex_endline} procedure in the source code.
@item
The usual reflow routine is used when reformatting block mark of text.
A warning appears in that case. If you wish to modify this routine as well, you
are welcome. I never needed that.
@endenumerate
@h- Installation
There are the following two methods of installing the TeX-aware modifications:
@enumerate
@item
@bf{Easy installation} which overlays the hotkey @tt{Alt-P} defined in
epm.ex. To do that you need to put AltP4TeX.ex file somewhere in your EPMPATH
and add the statement
@verbatim
'link AltP4TeX' /* Paragraph reflow (Alt-P hotkey) is TeX aware */
@endverbatim
to your Profile.erx. The source code is in file AltP4TeX.e. Both files are in
the directory @tt{pmCSTeX\install\advanced\AltP\easy}.
@item
@bf{Advanced installation} which requires to @hpt{recompile EPM.ex}.
Proceed in the following way:
@itemize
@item
Save or move EPM.ex to something like @tt{epm_ex.00}
@item
Go to EPMMAC directory.
Rename the original stdkeys.e and stdprocs.e to something
like @tt{stdkeys_e.00 and stdprocs_e.00}
@item
Execute command
@verbatim
gpatch -p0 <AltP-TeX.diff
@endverbatim
(adjust paths to @hpt{gpatch} and @tt{AltP-TeX.diff} as needed).
@item
Recompile EPM.e (@tt{etpm epm} or @tt{etpm /v epm})
@enditemize
@endenumerate
@h3 TeX tags
@label TeX tags
Have you ever used the EPM menu item @tt{View / Tags / Scan current file}? If
not, try it when editing a C/C++, Pascal or .cmd file. It will display list of
all tags (i.e. procedures and constants), and allow you to move quickly to
their definitions. The support for tags is compiled into epm.ex by including
tags.e. You can create a Toolbar item with @tt{Function: *} and
@tt{Parameter: tagscan}.
The support for TeX-related files is not in the standard EPM. This has been
contributed by Vladimir Kisil (@tt{vk@cage.rug.ac.be}) and its function and
installation is presented below.
@h- TeX files (*.tex, *.latex, *.sty, *.dtx, *.cls)
Menu @tt{Tags / Scan current file} displays nested list of commands:
@verbatim
\part
\chapter
\section
\subsection
\subsection
\paragraph
\subparagraph
\caption
\label
@endverbatim
@h- TeX log files (*.log)
Menu @tt{Tags / Scan current file} displays list of messages:
@verbatim
! TeX Errors
LaTeX (Font) Warning

@endverbatim
@h- BibTeX files (*.bib)
Menu @tt{Tags / Scan current file} displays list of BibTeX entries:
@verbatim
@ARTICLE
@BOOK
@PROCEEDINGS
etc.
@endverbatim
@h- Installation
There are two possible ways of installing tags with TeX file support. Both
come out from the same TeXtags.e file which is a modified version of tags.e.
Note that it has been modified in accordance with suggestions in its beginning
thus you will not lose any functionality for other types of files (C, C++, E,
REXX, Pascal, etc.) written in tags.e. The modified version is in the
directory @tt{pmCSTeX\install\advanced\tags}.
@enumerate
@item
@bf{Easy installation} which overlays the tag scan definition in epm.ex. Link
precompiled TeXtags.ex file over existing EPM.ex file. To do that you need to
put TeXtags.ex file in your EPM directory and add a statement
@verbatim
'link TeXtags'
@endverbatim
to your Profile.erx.
@item
@bf{Advanced installation} which requires to @hpt{recompile EPM.ex}.
Proceed in the following way:
@itemize
@item
Save or move EPM.ex to something like @tt{epm_ex.00}
@item
Go to EPMMAC directory.
Rename the original tags.e to something like @tt{tags_e.00}
@item
Execute command
@verbatim
gpatch -p0 <tags-tex.diff
@endverbatim
(adjust paths to @hpt{gpatch} and @tt{tags-tex.diff} as needed).
@item
Recompile EPM.e (@tt{etpm epm} or @tt{etpm /v epm})
@enditemize
@endenumerate
@h3 Generalized Ctrl-[, Ctrl-] for TeX
@label Ctrl-[ and Ctrl-]
Currently, hotkeys @tt{ Ctrl-[} and @tt{Ctrl-]} let the cursor jump between
parenthesis. The following patch generalizes these hotkeys for searching the
corresponding keyword in TeX constructs in TeX files:
@verbatim
\if.. \else \fi
\begin.. \end..
\begin{ \end{ or \begin{..} \end{..} (depends on COMPILE IF choice)
\left \right
@endverbatim
Technical note: routine @tt{passist()} in assist.e has been patched.
@h- Installation:
The installation requires to recompile @hpt{recompile EPM.ex}.
Proceed in the following way:
@itemize
@item
Save or move EPM.ex to something like @tt{epm_ex.00}
@item
Go to EPMMAC directory.
Rename the original asssist.e to something like @tt{assist_e.00}
@item
Execute command
@verbatim
gpatch -p0 <assist-tex.diff
@endverbatim
(adjust paths to @hpt{gpatch} and @tt{assist-tex.diff} as needed)
@item
Recompile EPM.e (@tt{etpm epm} or @tt{etpm /v epm}), move epm.ex to its
appropriate location.
@enditemize
@h3 Making backup copies of files before save
@label making backup copies of files before save
@label Making backup copies of files before save
EPM can make a backup copy of a file to be saved. This requires to recompile
EPM.e with @tt{BACKUP_PATH} defined in your MyCNF.e. If this variable is
@verbatim
BACKUP_PATH='='
@endverbatim
then the backup copy is made in the directory of the saved file. Otherwise you
can specify unique directory to keep copies of all edited files, e.g.
@verbatim
BACKUP_PATH='d:\tmp\epm_save'
@endverbatim
The original routine denotes the backup file by trailing @tt{$} character.
Since this is rather unique (in my opinion), usually editors name that file
@tt{.bak} or with trailing @tt{~}). Thus I patched the EPM routines to accept
the following:
@enumerate
@item
Backup file is denoted by trailing @tt{~}.
@item
Making backup copies can be switched on or off via the command
dialog @tt{Ctrl/I} in EPM by the respective command
@verbatim
backup_enable 1
backup_enable 0
@endverbatim
or in Profile.erx via
@verbatim
'backup_enable 1'
'backup_enable 0'
@endverbatim
Furthermore, backing up can be allowed for file with some specified extensions
(files for programming) and not for the other (text or postscript files).
Again, in the command dialog of EPM, you can use either of
@verbatim
set_backup_extensions ''
set_backup_extensions 'AWK C CC CPP HTML TEX'
@endverbatim
or in Profile.erx
@verbatim
'set_backup_extensions'
'set_backup_extensions AWK C CC CPP HTML TEX'
@endverbatim
to allow all files to be backed up or only @tt{.awk}, @tt{.c}, @tt{.cc} et al.
The default definition is in stdprocs.e, where you can choose between @tt{''}
and @tt{TEX_EXTENSIONS ' AWK ASM BIB E F F GP HTM HTML JAVA M PAS'}
(before recompiling EPM).
@endenumerate
@h- Installation:
The installation requires to recompile @hpt{recompile EPM.ex}.
Proceed in the following way:
@itemize
@item
Save or move EPM.ex to something like @tt{epm_ex.00}
@item
Go to EPMMAC directory.
Here you can save the original versions of @tt{stdprocs.e}, @tt{e3emul.e},
@tt{slnohost.e}, and @tt{saveload.e}.
@item
Execute command
@verbatim
gpatch -p0 <backup-files.diff
@endverbatim
(adjust paths to @hpt{gpatch} and @tt{backup-files.diff} as needed)
@item
Add the following two lines to your MyCNF.e:
@verbatim
-- backing up files before save?
BACKUP_PATH='='
@endverbatim
@item
Recompile EPM.e (@tt{etpm epm} or @tt{etpm /v epm}), move new epm.ex to its
appropriate location.
@item
You may add the following to your Profile.erx if you like to change the default
behaviour of backing up (otherwise, the default setting are taken):
@verbatim
backup_enable 1
set_backup_extensions ''
@endverbatim
@enditemize
@h3 TeX, BibTeX (C, REXX etc.) assistance
@label syntax assistance
Syntax assistance extended for TeX, in order to save some keystrokes, has been
contributed by Vladimir Kisil (@tt{vk@cage.rug.ac.be}). It consists of
@tt{myassist.e} compiled if @tt{WANT_MY_ASSIST=1} and of some @tt{*.asi} files.
See the directory @tt{install\advanced\TeXassist} for more details.
@h2 Recompiling EPM
@label Recompiling EPM
@label recompiling EPM
@label recompile EPM.ex
@label recompile EPM
If you have not yet recompiled EPM macros (EPM.ex) to suit your needs, you may
find the following notes useful.
@enumerate
@item
Get @tt{epmmac.zip} from the Net. Unzip it in e.g. @tt{\APPS\EPM\EPMMAC}, add
this directory into EPMPATH in the CONFIG.SYS and reboot.
@item
Make a back-up copy of EPM.ex (e.g. @tt{EPM_ex.00}).
@item
It is possible that after the installation of EPM you will obtain EPM.ex with
the READ-ONLY attribute set. In this case the E-compiler ETPM.EXE will not
overwrite this version of EPM.ex. The trap is that no error or warning message
is issued in this case. So after a "success-seems-to-be" compilation you will
have still the old EPM.ex with the old functionality. You should clear
READ-ONLY attribute of EPM.ex by @tt{attrib} command or just delete it.
@item
Go to @tt{\APPS\EPM\EPMMAC}. Read the documentation and FAQ in @tt{read.me}.
Recompile: @tt{etpm epm}. Replace old epm.ex by the compiled version, kill
all EPM sessions and start EPM with any file to edit.
@item
If this is your first try of recompiling EPM.ex and you have not read the
documentation in details you have probably obtained the new EPM with a menu
very different from the distributed one. All trick is the definitions in
MyCNF.e. You may try to rename my @tt{PM_MyCNF.e} to @tt{MyCNF.e} and
recompile again. Otherwise, the configuration EPMGCNF.SMP file rather than
MYCNF.SMP should be taken for the base for your MyCNF.e file to obtain an
EPM.ex most close to the distributed one.
Note: you can use my configuration file @tt{install\advanced\PM_MyCNF.e}, if
you rename it to MyCNF.e and copy to the EPMMAC directory.
@item
Explanation of some constants useful to put in MyCNF.e is listed now:
@itemize
@item
@bf{Layout of the menu items: }
The point is @tt{STD_MENU_NAME} constant in MyCNF.e file. Check that your
MyCNF.e file contains the following line
@verbatim
STD_MENU_NAME = 'fevshmnu.e' -- (undef) Use WFEVSH menu style
@endverbatim
This will produce the usual EPM menu layout. See @tt{EPM User's guide |
Changing the default configuration | Summary of configuration constants} for
more information on @tt{STD_MENU_NAME}.
@item
If you recompile EPM.ex you may wish to make the highlighting oval for the
@bf{Find / Replace} dialog more notable than in the default EPM.ex.
If you like the oval of @bf{Find next error} in pmCSTeX, you may put
@verbatim
LOCATE_CIRCLE_STYLE = 4
LOCATE_CIRCLE_COLOR1 = 13
LOCATE_CIRCLE_COLOR2 = 13
@endverbatim
somewhere in you MYCNF.e file. The place inside a statement
@verbatim
compile if defined(BLACK)
...
compile endif
@endverbatim
or the end of MyCNF.e are the most appropriate to do that. See @tt{EPM User's
guide}: @bf{Changing the default configuration | Summary of configuration
constants} for more information on these constants, or search there for
@tt{LOCATE_CIRCLE_STYLE} and @tt{MAGENTA} strings.
@item
Menu items representing the EPM documentation are available if this is defined
in MyCNF.e:
@verbatim
SUPPORT_USERS_GUIDE = 1
SUPPORT_TECHREF = 1
@endverbatim
@item
With this option the EPM does not add the eoln char after with the selected
word (Alt-W):
@verbatim
WORD_MARK_TYPE = 'CHAR'
@endverbatim
@item
Bug fix: please correct the minor bug in file @tt{load.e}. The wrong line
@verbatim
compile if defined(TEX_FILE_TYPES)
@endverbatim
should be corrected to
@verbatim
compile if defined(TEX_FILETYPES)
@endverbatim
@item
For various functions (both constants should keep the same string):
@verbatim
TEX_FILETYPES = 'TEX LATEX STY CLS DTX'
TEX_EXTENSIONS = 'TEX LATEX STY CLS DTX'
@endverbatim
@enditemize
@item
You can add TeX aware paragraph reformatting, see @hpt{Alt-P}.
@item
You can replace tags.e from the standard distribution by the version enhanced
for TeX, .log and BibTeX files. See @hpt{TeX tags}.
@item
You can add @hpt{syntax assistance} enhanced for TeX and BibTeX files.
@endenumerate
@h2 Information for users of Czech.E
@label Czech.E
If you use the macro Czech.E that implements the Czech keyboard in EPM (by Z.
Wagner), you would encounter some collisions with the Greek keyboard. That's
why you should replace Czech.E by Czech_PM.E (from Czech_PM.zip file in this
package), is it has been explained earlier. I have added one global variable
that keeps the status of the Czech keyboard (and I have commented out the
beeps; you can restore them if you like them).

@label Tutorial
Welcome to the tutorial! I suppose you launched EPM in the @tt{demo}
directory by the command
@samplecode
start epm example.tex inc.tex
@endsamplecode
If there is no CSTeX menu item in the EPM, reboot the computer. Try Tutorial
again. If there is no progress, consult the @hpt{Installation}.
Now click on the word @tt{description} (in example.tex file). Press Ctrl/H.
Help should appear. If not, LaTeX2e.INF and LaTeX2e.NDX ware not installed
correctly. Further, if you press Ctrl/H on @tt{\mistake}, you get the warning
"Unable to find entry...". It means this keyword is not listed in LaTeX2e.NDX.
Now press Ctrl/H with the cursor being on the word @tt{\allowbreak}. Nothing
happens: it's correct---this is TeX primitive and it is also not documented in
LaTeX2e.INF.
You edit example.tex. Choose @tt{CSTeX/(La)TeX document /b}. Then latex.cmd
will be launched to proceed your file (CSTeX-distribution users should have
their LaTeX.cmd command script equal to csLaTeX.cmd). It finished. There was
one mistake. However, tex386 has not stopped due to the @tt{/b} (=batchmode)
command line parameter passed into tex386. So you now press Shift-F12 and the
error will be localized. Press several times F12 to localize and read the .log
file in the edit ring. Go back to example.tex, correct the mistake, and press
Shift-F12 again. "No more errors" message should appear. Then start
Previewer. Usually you are re(La)TeXing your document while dvipm is
simultaneously on your screen, so you can hear the beep when tex386 has
finished and dvipm is reloading the document (it must be enabled via the dvipm
menu).
In the above procedure the tex386 window has been minimized so you cannot
interact with this program. For the interactive work, you can use the menu
item "CSTeX/(La)TeX document". It (La)TeXes your document on foreground using
the usual interactive mode.
Now click on any paragraph (a block of the text) and click on the toolbar icon
@tt{[TeXit]}. The current paragraph should be recompiled and automatically
updated by dvipm (haven't you forget to set @tt{Auto reload} in dvipm?).
Now play with it yourself. Also, read the other part of this documentation for
more details. For full details, read the source code of pm4EPM.e and CSTeX.e,
as well as all EPM manuals @tt{:-))}. If there some problems, please correct
them and send me the solution. Have fun!
Please don't forget to read about the @hpt{syntax} of the keywords on the first
line of the Master file. Those supplied in the example.tex
@samplecode
% Format: latex emtexopt: */mp85500* dvips: *-p 123* ViewOpts: */tr1 +inverse*
@endsamplecode
mean the following:
@itemize
@item
Format of the document is latex, i.e. use latex.cmd script to recompile it,
@item
before launching the above script, the environmental variable is enlarged
(with respect to its value from the config.sys) by the option @tt{/mp85500},
so that tex386 has larger pool size so it can process the AMS-LaTeX documents,
@item
if you are dvipsing (@tt{.dvi}->@tt{.ps}) the .dvi file, then only pages up to

Please go yourself through all the CSTeX menu options, icons and actions that
you can icon-ify. This manual will probably never be too complete. You are
welcome to contribute.
However, it should not mine, since "ordinary" users will hardly change the
code, and the programmers will do it easily. Anyway, you are welcome to have a
look at .e files what's really inside. They are readable...
@h2 Syntax of expansions
@label Syntax of expansions
@label Syntax of expansions:
@label Syntax
@label syntax
You edit a file. It is called working file. If its first line contains
@samplecode
% ....... Master: b.tex .....
@endsamplecode
then b.tex is its master file to which all actions like latexing, previewing
etc. will be related. If there is no @tt{Master:} keyword on its first line,
this file is both Working and Master.
The first line of the Master file can contain other keywords which are expanded
by pm4EPM.e. CSTeX.e reacts to the following keywords:
@samplecode
% .... Format: cslatex209 .....
@endsamplecode
@samplecode
% .... Format: plain .....
@endsamplecode
This is used to texing the document. .cmd file of the same name as is that of
the format is called to compile the document (in the above example,
@tt{cslatex209.cmd} and @tt{plain.cmd} are called, respectively). If no
@tt{Format:} is present, environmental variable @tt{LATEXFORMATDEFAULT} is
searched. If that is not defined, default format @tt{latex} is used.
Synonym to the @tt{Format: myformat} is @tt{%&myformat} starting the command
line; this allows to accept cweb/unix style of format determination.
@samplecode
% .... EMTEXOPT: */mp85500* .....
@endsamplecode
This keyword is added to the environmental variable EMTEXOPT before
@tt{_format_.cmd} is started. The above option I use for AMS-LaTeX and
AMS-fonts. Another example: if you want to get rid of the user interaction
even in the CSTeX/(La)TeX document, then replace @tt{*/mp85500*} by
@tt{*/mp85500 /b*} or by @tt{*/b*}. See the emTeX documentation for more
details @tt{(\emtex\doc\(english or german)\tex.doc)}.
@samplecode
% .... dvips: *-p 3 -l 9 -A* .....
@endsamplecode
This keyword enables passing parameters into dvips (in this case, only the odd
pages between page 3 and 9 are postscripted). Look at @tt{dvips} documentation
(or type @tt{dvips} at the command prompt) for more details.
@samplecode
% .... makeindex: * -s mystyle * .....
@endsamplecode
Options that are passed into the MakeIndex program. See its documentation for
more details.
@samplecode
% .... ViewOpts: */tr1 +zoom:4 +inverse* .....
@endsamplecode
The string between those stars (*) or any pair of same chars is taken as the
argument for printer/viewer command line. That means not for "Viewer document"
(interactive dvipm), but for "Preview before print" and "Print". Consult
@tt{\emtex\doc\english\dvidrv.doc} for more details about the available
switches, or type @tt{/??} at the @tt{dvi*} prompt.
If you are Editing settings of an icon on the toolbar, there is "Parameters"
line related to "Action". This Parameter is expanded as described directly in
the pm4EPM.e file. They are not used by CSTeX.e (yet).

@label CSTeX menu items explanation
@h- (La)TeX document
Compiles document on foreground: @tt{start /c /win /f cmd.exe /c %format.cmd
%N} Abbreviation @tt{%N} expands to the master file in the Unix style and
@tt{%format} to the format of the document.
@h- (La)TeX document /b
As above, but TeXing is started on the background. Well, in both cases, you
should have used @tt{\batchmode} TeX command in the beginning of your file to
force tex386 go smoothly over errors (you locate errors later using Shift-F12).
@h- (La)TeX paragraph
Compiles the current paragraph of the edited text. The paragraph is the text
block between two blank lines, or a line block of text (marked by @tt{Alt-L}
... @tt{Alt-L}, for instance). A temporary file @tt{$cstex$.tex} is written,
which contains everything from the first line to the @tt{\begin{document}}
statement of the Master file, then the current paragraph, and the file is
terminated by @tt{\end{document}}. After reLaTeXing, the .dvi and .log files
are copied over those of the Master file.
@h- Locate next error
@bf{A. Error searching:}
If .log file is loaded, then search for the next error. If .log file is not
loaded, load it to the editor and search for the first error. If it is loaded,
refresh it and start from the beginning.
(Technical note: the above works fine for me; I think there is no need to
implement in next_error to check the file on the harddisk whether it has
changed or not every time when next_error function is invoked by the user.)
@bf{B. Warning searching:}
If you position the cursor in .log file on a line which is like one of these:
@verbatim
Overfull \hbox (19.0473pt too wide) detected at line 5
Overfull \hbox (19.94281pt too wide) in alignment at lines 95--104
Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph at lines 356--373
LaTeX ...whatever, e.g. Warning: or Font Info:.... line 138.
@endverbatim
then the @bf{Locate next error} will find the location of the warning from that
line.
Otherwise the method @bf{A.} is in action, of course. That's what you use
normally.
@h- PostScript menus
dvips will be used to convert .dvi -> .ps. Then you can launch either gvpm
program (it is the GhostView for OS/2, available from any net server mirroring
the ghostscript staff) or use the DOS previewer psview (available at
ftp.muni.cz:pub/tex/local/postscript/psview.zip). If you print from dvips,
then the output goes to the @tt{prn} port. See also the keyword @tt{dvips:}
applicable for the Master's first line, which is described in the section
@hpt{Syntax}.
If you use the menu item dvips-it, then pmCSTeX will beep when it is finished,
so that you can reload the file in GhostView or send it into a PostScript
printer. You can switch this beep off, see @hpt{recompiling}.
@h- Printing menus
Menu for printing using dvihplj and 300 dpi was well tested. Others not. If
you have other printer not listed explicitly in the menu, then .cmd script will
be called with @tt{myprt1.cmd} or @tt{myprt2.cmd}. For previewing,
@tt{myprt1.cnf} or @tt{myprt2.cnf} will be used. You should prepare them
yourself, according to @tt{\emtex\bin\prt*.cmd} and @tt{\emtex\data\*.cnf}
files.
@h- Editor / Include
The file whose name is under the cursor is included into the editor. The
routine is implemented such that it looks to the current directory, then to
@tt{..\units}, then to @tt{\emtex\texinput}, then to some of the
@tt{\emx\include} directories. You can easily add your favourite directories
to the source code of CSTeX.e and recompile the macros.
Moreover, not only the file under cursor, but as well as those files with
.h, .c, .cpp, .sty, .tex are searched. Try it and see.

@h- Other TeX programs
Drawing programs: TeXcad is well-known, Qfig probably less. But there are
XFree86 ported to OS/2 (@tt{http://set.gmd.de/~veit/os2/xf86os2.html}) so I'm
really glad that I can use Xfig for OS/2. Since you run XFree86 in a separate
full-screen session, there is no item for it. PageDraw is a good tool for
PostScript drawings---it runs in Win-OS2 session, so the author should be asked
for a native OS/2 version.
@h- TeXclean
Deletes all files @tt{*.aux *.log *.dlg *.dvi *.toc *.lot *.lof *.blg *.idx
*.ind *.glo *.gls *.hp *.mfj *.pri *.bak}
@h2 Hotkeys in CSTeX
@label hotkeys
@label Hotkeys in CSTeX
These hotkeys are defined:
@h- Ctrl/1
It brings menu with paragraph, section, chapter...
@h- Ctrl/3
It brings menu with LaTeX environments. If there is a line-mark, then surround
the marked text block by the choosen environment; otherwise insert the
environment and a blank line in between
@h- Ctrl/4
It brings menu with AMSLaTeX environments If there is a line-mark, then
surround the marked text block by the choosen environment; otherwise insert the
environment and a blank line in between
@h- Ctrl/5
It brings menu with LaTeX font sizes
@h- Ctrl/6
It brings menu with @tt{textrm, textsf, texttt, textmd, textbf, textup, textit,
textsl, textsc, emph, textnormal}
@h- Ctrl/7
It brings menu with @tt{rmfamily, sffamily, ttfamily, mdseries, bfseries, upshape,
itshape, slshape, scshape, em, normalfont}
@h- Alt-G
Switches the keyboard to the Greek keyboard. After pressing Alt-G and pressing
a key, its Greek character (in TeX syntax) will be typeset instead. E.g.
@tt{Alt-G a} produces @tt{\alpha}.
Note: if the keyboard is not switched to the keyboard layout you was using
before, then change the end of @tt{DEFPROC pm_TypeGreek()} according to any
global flag your personal keyboard provides.
And finally, here is the translation table:

@h2 Hotkeys in pm_keys
@label pm_keys
There are some hotkeys you may or may not find useful. You can either add
@verbatim
'link pm_keys'
@endverbatim
into Profile.erx, or copy the hotkey definitions into your MyKeys.E file (then
recompile it). Currently, I use these definitions:
@h- Ctrl/Y
It deletes the current line (as Ctrl/BackSpace does). I'm used to this key
sequence from Borland-like editors.
@h- Alt-1
Generalizes / enhances the standard EPM file load hotkey, equivalent to
@tt{CSTeX/Editor/Include}.
@h- Alt-3
Inserts @tt{\begin{}}
@h- Alt-4
Inserts @tt{\end{}}
@h- Alt-5
Inserts @tt{\[ \]}
@h- Alt-6
Inserts @tt{$$ $$}
@h- Alt-Z
It brings a dialog with margin setup. Easier then going to
@tt{File/Settings...}
@h- Alt-Q
This hotkey provides either of the following two actions:
1. quickly makes \begin{equation} ... \end{equation} environment with two two
comment lines above and below. Thus pressing @tt{Alt-Q} on this line would do:
@verbatim
\begin{equation}
\end{equation}
@endverbatim
2. If the line under the cursor contains only \begin{equation}, it changes it
into \begin{eqnarray}. If there is \begin{eqnarray}, it is changed to
\begin{align}, and if there is \begin{align}, it transforms back to
\begin{equation}. The same rotation works for the \end{equation},
\end{eqnarray} and \end{align} lines too, as well as for the @tt{\begin} and
@tt{\end} versions of @tt{equation*}, @tt{eqnarray*} and @tt{align*}
environments.
Note for future: this could be more powerful if this command would change both
@tt{\begin{..}} and @tt{\end{..}} simultaneously.

@h1 Recompiling the macros
@label recompiling
@label recompile
Your need stdconst.e from epmmac.zip (see hobbes.nmsu.edu:os2/editors). This
file has to be on your EPMPATH.
The following commands will compile CSTeX EPM macros:
@samplecode
etpm pm4EPM
etpm CSTeX
@endsamplecode
You can recompile CSTeX.e into two menu schemes depending on the constant
CSTEX_CSTEX:
@h- CSTEX_CSTEX=1
This produces CSTeX for EPM that is distributed together with CSTeX'96
distribution. It includes support for all our favourite CS features and
programs
@h- CSTEX_CSTEX=0
This disables compilation of the features specific for CSTeX'96 distribution
@h- CSTEX_CS2CS=1
Uses OS/2 program cs2cs.exe for Czech encodings conversion (this program does
not come with CSTeX'96 distribution yet, get it from
@tt{ftp://aip1.fsv.cvut.cz/users/ferdi/cs2cs.zip}
@h- CSTEX_CS2CS=0
Uses DOS program cstocs.exe for Czech encodings conversion (included in
CSTeX'96 distribution, but due to cs2cs.exe it became obsolete now)
@h- PM_DICTIONARIES=1
Adds dictionary (language) menu for EPM spell checking+synonyms
@h- CSTEX_USEMASTERDIR=1
The master file is firstly searched in the directory of the working file, then
in the current directory; if
@h- CSTEX_USEMASTERDIR=0
then the master file is searched in the current directory, i.e. in the
directory where the EPM was started from. The choice =1 is much better if EPM
runs permanently (@tt{EPM /i}).
@h- Two options in DEFINIT routine in CSTeX.e
@tt{cstex_true_tex_background=1} is default option that minimizes window of the
background TeXing. Set @tt{cstex_true_tex_background=0} to get the whole
window. @tt{cstex_background_beep=0} is default option to avoid beep when
background texing has finished (dvipm can do it for you). Set
@tt{cstex_background_beep=1} if you would prefer this beep.
You can do the appropriate changes in both files---as you wish. In fact, you
should changed the menus and related things if some build-in options do not
suite your customs. I tried to write the code as simple as possible---I'm not
professional EPM programmer.
However, KEEP IN MIND that you can distribute the files derived from CSTeX ONLY
IF the original distribution of pmCSTeX.zip comes with them! People need to
know where that comes from, whom they can make donations to or who is the
person to blame...
@if false
***********************************************************

@h1 Conclusion
This release of pmCSTeX for EPM works perfectly for me, but that need not be
the case for you. If it does not work, please verify the installation of EPM,
go again through the @hpt{Installation}, and read about @hpt{Bugs}. If this
did not help, then let me know about your problems.
You can also write me about your suggestions or even your solutions to your
suggestions, what should be additionally included etc. Thanks.

@h2 FAQ---Frequently Asked Questions
@label FAQ
There are some Frequently Asked Questions listed here.
@ipfminitoc
@h3 How to run MetaFont, gnuplot, awk... on the edited file
The syntax with the first line @tt{Format:} keyword makes it possible to run
any command over the edited file. For instance, you are editing a
@tt{mypic.mf}:
@samplecode
% Format: runmf
... some MetaFont code here...
@endsamplecode
A click on the @bf{TeXit} icon, or the Shift-F11 hotkey, will run the batchfile
@tt{runmf.cmd} on the currently edited file (or even more, you can use
Master:).
Note that even the icon is called @bf{TeXit}, it can run whatever you write in
the appropriate script, like @tt{mf386.exe}, or @tt{gnuplot.exe} if @tt{gp.cmd}
states for @tt{@gnuplot %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9}:
@samplecode
# Format: gp
set title "Hello, gnuplot"
set grid
plot sin(x)/x
pause -1
@endsamplecode
Note: I use EPM to edit configuration files for my calculations in physics;
the only necessity is to write a batch file that launches the correct
application. Furthermore, writing a syntax highlighting file is a matter of
maybe 10 minutes (well, someone could contribute the @tt{epmkwds.mf} file for
MetaFont).
@h3 Incorrection version
A message like @tt{Incorrection version...} is displayed in the EPM status
window. That means that you have started EPM earlier than 6.03b. Please
verify your configuration, namely:
@itemize
@item
Is @tt{\Apps\EPM} cited before @tt{\OS2\Apps} in @tt{PATH} and @tt{LIBPATH}?
See @hpt{Installation of pmCSTeX} or @hpt{my config.sys}). Remember that Warp
3.0 is shipped with EPM 5.51, see @hpt{Installation on Warp 3.0}.
@item
Have you correctly installed EPM 6.03b? One user was convinced that he
installed this product well, but he was reading the installation instructions
by EPM 6.0 while installing EPM 6.03b into the same directory. Thus some .dll
files were locked and they were not overwritten, he got a crazy mixture of two
versions! Hint: backup previous version, delete it complete, install the new
one.
@enditemize
@h3 How to read previous EPM messages?
What has EPM written to the bottom status bar? Look at the menu:
@tt{View/Messages}.
@h3 I cannot see \begin etc. keywords
@label I cannot see \begin
The highlighting @tt{epmkwds} files enclosed in pmCSTeX are suited for the
yellow&blue combination of foreground&background. Thus, if you prefer the
default EPM setting of black&white, then do NOT use my epmkwds files, otherwise
you will not see any TeX keyword. See also @hpt{syntax highlighting}. If you
want to use my highlighting files for non-yellow&blue combination, then you
should process them by a script for @tt{sed, awk, REXX,...} to convert the 2nd
and 3rd column to a combination that pleases your eyes.
@h3 You don't like my hotkeys
You may redefine them or take completely away. Look at pm_keys.e,
change/delete them, and @hpt{recompile} it.

@h3 Double-side or slot 2 printing from dvips
@label Double-side or slot 2 printing from dvips
Finally, I have found the way how to print double side from dvips (17. 1.
1998!)! It uses the @tt{-h} option of @tt{dvips} and the correct header files.
Thus, from within EPM, use:
@verbatim
% ... dvips: * -h 2sideP.ps *
@endverbatim
for double-side printing on portrait sheet,
@verbatim
% ... dvips: * -h 2sideL.ps *
@endverbatim
for double-side printing on landscape sheet, or
@verbatim
% ... dvips: * -h Slot2.ps *
@endverbatim
for printing on transparencies or on the paper deposited in the slot 2 of the
postscript printer.
@h- Installation:
For use withing pmCSTeX, all should be prepared as described in sections
@hpt{Installation of pmCSTeX} or @hpt{Upgrading pmCSTeX}. If you want to use
this feature on another TeX installation/platform, then copy those files into
your TeX directory tree and use them in commands like
@verbatim
dvips -h 2sideL.ps my_text.dvi
@endverbatim
@h3 Tags are fine, but are there "permanent" tags?
Use the @tt{ALL *string_to_find*} command (invoke command line by @tt{Ctrl/I}).
Then use (repeatedly) @tt{Ctrl/Q}.
@h3 I have a question/I have found a bug...
Ok, write me a mail. But please, be sure that you have read this manual
completely, it is sometimes difficult to figure out what's wrong on your
system. Remember that a lot of users have installed this product without
problems. If you find a bug, please read the @hpt{Bugs} section first, and
then let me know about it by e-mail if that insect has not been documented up
to now.
@h3 Renaming a file
Instead of using the menu options, EPM offers a more direct way to change the
name of the file your working on. Place the mouse pointer over the title bar
and double-click the right mouse button. The title bar will change to an edit
field so that you can change the file name. When you're done, click the mouse
anywhere off the title bar.
Source of this trick: @tt{http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/luvabo/}
@h3 Running EPM as a server
Running @tt{epm /r /i} installs EPM as an editor server. All further downloads
into it by @tt{epm /r myfile.dat} are much faster (e.g., you can setup an
@em{Alternate editor} in @bf{File Commander/2} by @tt{epm /r} or by @tt{start
epm /r /i}).
@h3 Saving file with LF or CRLF line ends
You can change miscellaneous default save options in Profile.erx. Among them,
the following line saves the files in Unix `LF' convention:
@verbatim
'universal default_save_options /u'
@endverbatim
Later on, if you want to save an edited file in the standard OS/2 `CRLF'
format, then you can use the command @tt{save /o}
@h3 Make a backup file copy before save
Do you want to backup the previous version of your edited file before
overwriting it by the @tt{Save} command? Well, this is described in the section
@hpt{Making backup copies of files before save}.
@h3 Automaticke vygenerovani pk fontu z ps fontu
Prispel pan J. Kuben: Pokud jde o automaticke vygenerovani pk fontu z ps fontu,
je to reseno pomoci dvips. To se zavola (pri nastaveni prvniho radku)
@verbatim
% dvips *-Pnic*
@endverbatim
Soubor @tt{emtex\data\dvips\nic.cfg} ukazuje na prazdny seznam ps fontu
@tt{emtex\data\dvips\prazdny.map}. Davka @tt{emtex\exe\epm\csdvips.cmd} (musi
byt v ceste) je upravena tak, ze nastavi @tt{set maketexpk=make_pk}. Tento
soubor vola dvips a predava mu parametry (protoze mu bylo receno, ze nejsou ps
fonty). Rexx soubor @tt{emtex\exe\make_pk.cmd} (musi byt v ceste) je treba
naeditovat. V uvodni casti je treba nastavit cesty podle konkretni instalace
(kde jsou ps fonty, konfiguracni soubory, kam se budou ukladat pk fonty).
Ten pak prohlizi soubor @tt{emtex\data\dvips\adobe.sez}, kde je ulozen seznam ps
fontu, ktere jsou k dispozici, nazev zdrojaku a parametry, s nimiz se vola
@tt{ps2pk} (musi byt v ceste; pouzivam verzi 1.6). Tento soubor je mozne podle
potreby rozsirovat. Parametry odpovidaji syntaxi z @tt{psfonts.map}. Pokud
neni font v seznamu nalezen, vola se @tt{emtex\exe\maketexp.cmd}, a tudiz
@tt{mfjob} (opet je treba nastavit cesty podle instalace). Dvipm ma pak
pripravene pk fonty a pri dalsim volani dvips se smaze @tt{-Pnic}, aby se
spravne pouzily ps fonty.
@h3 What is gpatch?
@label gpatch
gpatch means GNU @tt{patch} program. It is usually called @tt{patch}
on Unix system. Since there is already another @tt{\os2\patch.exe}
program by IBM distributed with OS/2, it makes sense to call GNU patch
@tt{gpatch.exe}. You can download the whole GNU @tt{patch} package
as @tt{gnupatch.zip} from hobbes or leo.
Note: diff-files enclosed in pmCSTeX were produced by
@verbatim
diff -uw xxx-original.e xxx-modified.e >xxx.diff
@endverbatim
@h3 Various .dic files from IBM
There are several versions of the dictionary *.dic files from IBM all
around. The latest are distributed together with Netscape 4.61 (April
2000). However, these are not compatible to the .dic files of EPM, obviously
because of its @tt{oslexam.dll}. Anybody knows how to use the new
dictionaries with EPM, mainly those for languages lacking an EPM dictionary?
@h2 Known bugs and missing features
@label Bugs
@label bugs
@bf{pmCSTeX for EPM} related bugs and missing features:
@enumerate
@item
The command @tt{'link pm_keys'} must be the first one in the Profile.erx,
otherwise Ctrl/Y will not work for @tt{*.c*} and @tt{*.h} files. This occured
after 4.1.1997. Probably a clash with CKEYS.E keyset or whatever else, when I
redefine those @tt{EDIT_KEYS}.
@item
The @tt{makeindex} first line keyword (see @hpt{Syntax of expansions}) was
added according to demand of one person, but I've got no feedback. Whether
this works or not for you, please let me know.
@item
Using "Next error", an error is found correctly but the current file (the file
with the error) is switched off to .log file. I don't know why, this comes
irregularly, is there something wrong what is on the stack of EPM? Because
just before the return command the current file is correct.

pmTeXit.cmd: change it so that it accepts not only the @tt{Format:} keyword,
but also the @tt{EmtexOpt:} and @tt{Master:} keywords. (This means, you are
welcome to do that---I haven't used pmTeXit.cmd for more than one year, since I
do everything from within the EPM).
@item
@tt{(La)TeX paragraph} is now targeted for use in LaTeX documents only. Plain
TeX documents should end by @tt{\bye} command instead of @tt{\end{document}}.
However, there was no demand for plain TeX paragraph TeXing until now, so there
is no need to code this.
@endenumerate
General @bf{EPM} related bugs and missing features:
@enumerate
@item
I could disable the menu of changing the dictionary file when the
Auto-spellcheck is on. Just I would have to find/receive from you a trick how
to detect it.
@item
Sometimes actions from the menu items cannot be fired, while toolbar and
hotkeys action are still working normally. Any idea? I have a suspiction that
this could be related to the EPM's string length limitation.
@item
Sometimes the syntax highliting stops working for the files newly loaded.
Anyone knows why?
@item
The same problem of the instability of the red oval over the first error found
in .log file as in EPMTEX occured if the syntax highlighting is on. The reason
has been discovered recently: it is caused by @tt{defload} syntax
highlighting method, since the the syntax highlighting is made AFTER ALL macros
are finished, thus the oval is re-coloured.
Workaround is not 'trivial'. However, I was hacking this in 1998 and I have
figured out that this problem could be solved by patching routine
@tt{ toggle_parse()} in stdctrl.e. pmCSTeX would set on global variables with
the filename and oval positions, which will be executed at the end of the
syntax colouring routine. If anybody is wishing to implement this idea, please
submit the patch for inclusion into pmCSTeX.
@item
Netscape 4.61 contains new dictionaries; the most important are localized ones
not available for EPM before (@tt{czech.dic}, for instance). However, these
dictionaries do not work with EPM. Do you have an idea what to do?
