[This file is ./TeX3.14/LAMS-TeX/NOTE for users of the Unix TeX distribution. August 1991. The original LAMS-TeX distribution was intended for DOS and Macintosh machines. The LAMS-TeX documentation will reflect this. All essential files have been kept, and are organized as follows: --all LAMS-TeX input files (macros and documents) are in ./inputs --all METAFONT sources for producing commutative diagrams are in ./mf --*.tfm font files generated from these sources are in ./tfm --the index program (turns LAMS-TeX index files into sorted, extended files) has been ported to Unix by Pierre MacKay. Gcc with or without optimization will compile it. If you can get it to work with cc, let us know, and we will add your fixes to the distribution. E-mail: mackay@cs.washington.edu elisabet@max.u.washington.edu Phone: (206) 543-6259 --the dvipaste program has been placed in DVIware/dvitools/dvipaste because of its general usefulness. LAMS-TeX users will need it when producing tables. (DVIware is parallel to the directory TeX3.14.) To generate the LAMS-TeX Installation Manual--also known as "Read Me First!": 1) Copy the contents of ./inputs to your TEXINPUTS directory (or to any directory where TeX can find them), or use symbolic links. 2) Copy the contents of ./mf to your MFINPUTS directory (or use symbolic links). 3) If you followed the installation instructions in ./TeX3.14/README, you have made and installed METAFONT. Use it to generate the *.pk font files for your previewer/printer driver programs. The METAFONT man page is your guide to generating fonts. We strongly recommend that TeX users become familiar with at least this METAFONT document. Sample command line for generating lams1.300gf for a 300dpi write-white device: % mf '\mode=RicohFourZeroEightZero; \mag=magstep0;' input lams1 The lams?.tfm files should be placed in your TEXFONTS directory. The gf font files can be converted into pk format via the mfware utility gftopk. Rastered fonts should be placed wherever your driver program expects to find them. 4) Go to DVIware/dvitools/dvipaste; make, test, and install the dvipaste program. 5) Run the following commands in sequence: % tex insttbls % tex inst [ ignore warning messages ] % emacs inst.tex [ edit this file to remove the % sign in front of the line \maketoc ] % tex inst [ no warning messages should appear ] % tex inst [ yes, a third time ] % dvipaste inst Preview or print the resulting inst.dvi file to learn about the details for the steps above. It is important that you do so. 6) TeX the samp.tex file to see another sample of LAMS-TeX at work, as well as for details about obtaining the primary manual and other documentation for these macros. ==================================================================== LAMS-TeX (including the programs dvipaste and index) has been released as public domain software for inclusion in public archives by Michael Spivak of TeXplorators. Send serious questions and bug reports to: spivak@math15.rice.edu. This is NOT, repeat NOT, an FTP site for LAMS-TeX. The UnixTeX repackaging of LAMS-TeX (including the programs dvipaste and index) is available on june.cs.washington.edu, in the directory ~ftp/tex. ================================EOF=================================
