- 1. Look at set-tex.bat, which contains all the environment variable needed
- (and too many more besides).
-
- 2. Here is my VIEW.BAT (kept in my \batcave directory, in my path)
-
- @echo off
- path >\setpath.bat
- path c:\emtex
- c:\emtex\dviscr @c:\emtex\view.cnf %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
- \bat\setpath
-
- 3. Here is my VIEW.CNF referenced above:
-
- % VIEW.cnf for 300dpi fonts, VGA colour screen
- /fs=1 % normal fontsize
- % 1=blue, 2=green, 3=turqoise, 4=brown; 5=magenta, 6=brown, 7&8=grey, 9=blue,
- % 10=green, 11=cyan, 12=red, 13=pink, 14=yellow, 15=white
- /ocp=12 % page border
- /ocr=13 % ruler
- /ocs=11 % status line
- /h=297mm
- /w=210mm
- /fl-1 % fast font load
- /hx=0
- /hy=0
- /pd=c:\emtex\doc\
- /pf=k:\emtex\fonts\$r;c:\emtex\fonts\dpi$r
- /pg=c:\emtex\doc\gr$r
- /r=300
- /rf=300
- /oa=16 % VGA
- /o=4 % 4 grayscales
-
- BTW I have *never* managed to get the /pd, /pf and /pg stuff set by using
- the DVIDRVINPUT, DVIDRVFONTS and DVIDRVGRAPH variables: they just don't
- seem to have any effect, so I override them in the VIEW.CNF file. Silly,
- but if someone can show me them working, I'll believe it.
-
- Note that in my setup, I refer to two different font hierarchies,
- \emtex\fonts\300; \emtex\fonts\329; \emtex\fonts\360; etc and
- \emtex\fonts\dpi300; \emtex\fonts\dpi329; \emtex\fonts;dpi360; etc.
- This is because my K: disk is a piece of RMS realestate on my VAX,
- where we hold fonts in common for all machines, and the VMS version of TeX
- won't handle directory names beginning "dpi". Another silly.
