- * OzTeX users please note: you need to change the HOME path.
- * Change the PASSWORD string after you register with Tom.
- * If you use commercial PostScript fonts like CM/PS or Lucida
- * then you need to carry out the steps listed in OzTeX's Read-Me file.
- *
- * This file is read by dvips, maketexpk, and PrintPS.
- * It must be placed either in your System Folder
- * (or in the Preferences folder of the System Folder for System 7)
- * or in the folder containing the dvips application.
- *
- * Below are all the environment variables called by dvips.
- * Upon start-up, dvips first reads this file to get the
- * value of TEXCONFIG. This variable tells dvips where to
- * look for config.ps - the main configuration file for dvips.
- * After reading config.ps, dvips checks this file for the
- * remaining environment variables. The paths specified in
- * this file will override any paths set in config.ps.
- *
- * The paths given here must be in Unix file system notation.
- * This means that paths are separated by a colon(:) and
- * directories or folder are separated by a slash(/).
- * A period(.) stands for the current directory and on the
- * Macintosh this will be the folder containing the dvi file
- * which is being converted. All absolute paths must begin
- * with a slash(/). All other paths are relative and begin with
- * a period(.), i.e., they are paths relative to the current
- * directory. The current directory will usually expand to the
- * directory containing the file being processed.
- * A tilde(~) is a wild card character that expands
- * to the value of the HOME variable. In Unix HOME is set by
- * the shell to be the home directory, but on the Macintosh
- * there is no "home" folder so you can set HOME to be anything
- * you wish, as long as it is an absolute path.
- *
- * Unlike Unix, directory or folder names and file names may
- * contain spaces. However, these names may not contain an
- * asterisk(*).
- *
- * Any line beginning with an asterisk(*) is a comment line and
- * is ignored by dvips. Every other line must begin
- * with one of the environment variable names, followed by
- * a space, and then the path associated with that variable.
- * A path may be continued on the next line if you type
- * a back-slash '\' immediately before the return key
- * and continuing the path immediately on the next line.
- * A variable can be "turned off" by putting an asterisk(*)
- * before the variable name or by deleting the variable
- * entirely from this file.
- *
- *
- * PASSWORD is the variable which dismisses the numerous dialog boxes
- * reminding you to register your copy of CMacTeX 2.3. The correct value
- * for this variable will be sent to you via e-mail when you send in your
- * registration fee.
- *
- PASSWORD abcdefghi#00000000
- *
- *
- * HOME can be set to anything. A tilde(~) in any other path
- * will expand to the value of HOME.

- *
- * TEXCONFIG is the list of folders in which dvips will look
- * for the main configuration file, config.ps.
- *
- TEXCONFIG .:~/Dvips/ps
- *
- *
- * DVIPSHEADERS is the list of folders in which dvips will look
- * for PostScript header files (eg .pro and .pfa files).
- *
- DVIPSHEADERS .:~/Dvips/ps:~/PS-files
- *
- *
- * TEXINPUTS is the list of folders in which dvips will look
- * for epsf files, etc.
- *
- TEXINPUTS .
- *
- *
- * TEXFONTS is the list of folders in which dvips will look
- * for tfm files.
- *
- TEXFONTS .:~/TeX-fonts/CM:~/TeX-fonts/PS:~/TeX-fonts/LaTeX
- *
- *
- * TEXPKS is the list of folders in which dvipreview will look
- * for pk fonts. If a % character is found in the path,
- * the following substitutions will be made, and then a search will
- * be made for the resulting filenames.
- * %f is replaced by the font name.
- * %b is replaced by the output device horizontal resolution dots per inch.
- * %d is replaced by the font size in dots per inch.
- * Note that, for each path element, if it contains a percent sign, you
- * must give the full file name, including path, rather than just the
- * directory name; a path element such as /fonts/%b will try to
- * open /fonts/300 when looking for cmr10.329pk, for
- * instance, and this may not be what is intended; /fonts/%b/%f.%dpk
- * is needed. If a path element does not contain a percent sign, there
- * is no need to specify the entire file name.
- *
- TEXPKS .:~/PK-files/%f.%dpk:~/PK-files/%d/%f.%dpk:~/PK-files/%d/%f
- *
- *
- * By default, generated pk files are placed in the folder containing the
- * dvi file. You may use the variable PKTEMPFOLDER to specify a particular
- * folder to receive these pk files. This folder is also in the TEXPKS path.
- *
- PKTEMPFOLDER ~/PK-files
- *
- *
- * VFFONTS is the list of folders in which dvips will look
- * for vf fonts.
- *
- VFFONTS .:~/VF-files
- *
- *
- * TEXFONTS_SUBDIR is a list of folders all of whose subfolders
- * will also be searched for tfm files and pk fonts.
- *
- * TEXFONTS_SUBDIR ~/texfonts
- *
- *
- * PRINTER is the name of the default printer configuration file.
- * PRINTER
- *
- *
- * METAFONT and GFTOPK are the full Unix paths to Metafont and GFtoPK.
- * Dvips needs to know where these programs are located in order to
- * automatically generate missing pk files.
- *
- METAFONT ~/Metafont/mf
- GFTOPK ~/Metafont/GFtoPK
- *
- *
- * The next entries allow the user to customize the Transfer Menu
- * in dvips. This menu allows you to simply launch or bring an already
- * opened application to the front. Whatever appears between the double
- * quotes will be an entry in the Transfer Menu. A Command Key equivalent
- * may be designated with a /. When you select an entry from the Transfer
- * Menu the application whose full Unix path is given here will either be
- * launched or brought to the front. Only the first entry will appear in the
- * Transfer menu for the freeware version of CMacTeX.
- *
- "Editor /E" ~/BBEdit Lite/BBEdit Lite 3.0
- "Print /P" ~/Dvips/PrintPS
- *
- *
- * Dvips will display the full pathname of each file it tries to open
- * if DEBUG is set to 1. This feature can be used to debug your installation.
- * The output is stored in a file, e.g., dvips.log in the same folder as
- * the application.
- *
- DEBUG 0
- *
- *
- * If you want dvips to quit automatically after processing a dvi file, set AUTOQUIT
- * to 1. The screen output from dvips is stored in the file "dvips.log" in the same
- * folder as the application.
- *
- AUTOQUIT 0
- *
- *
- * If you want dvips and maketexpk to remove all log, tfm, and gf files created
- * during automatic font generation, set CLEANUP to 1.
- *
- CLEANUP 1
