- Hi.
-
- I am looking for help getting PasTeX 1.3 up and running. I have the entire
- package installed on my hard drive, but I really have no idea how to get the
- thing to work. The docs are all TeX files, and when I double click on their
- icons, I just get an error message "can't find default format file".
-
- Ideally, I would like someone to give me instructions on how to set up the
- program so that I can run LaTeX on a file in the form "latex <filename>".
- Also, of course, I would like to be able to process those TeX files
- containing the English docs.
-
- Also, I notice that there is no executable called 'tex' in 'bin', but 2
- programs called 'initex' and 'virtex'. What's the deal?
-
- Please excuse my ignorance. Up to this point, I've only been using LaTeX
- on my University's system. I no nothing about TeX proper.
-
- Thanks for any help.
