  5          LaTeX installation instructions for MicroTeX   $                         15 July 1994       SUMMARY  =======    D This file contains instructions on how to install LaTeX for MicroTeX (uTeX).   A Before reading this file, you should read install.txt, which will ) explain how the LaTeX installation works.     This file describes:   (  * How to save any old version of LaTeX.   (  * How to unpack the LaTeX distribution.  "  * How to create the LaTeX format.    * How to create latex.exe   "  * How to install the LaTeX files.   G These instructions assume that you are using the standard directory set J up supplied by the MicroTeX distribution.  We hope that, if your system's D set up differs from this then you will be sufficiently familiar withC your system to make the necessary amendments to these instructions.      SAVING ANY OLD VERSION OF LATEX  ===============================    A If you have a copy of LaTeX 2.09, you may wish to save it before   installing the new LaTeX.      I You should make a subdirectory called latex209 in the MicroTeX directory. > Then copy any files called *.sty from the TeX inputs directoryG (normally arbortxt\inputs) into this latex209 subdirectory.  You should G also rename the LaTeX format file which you use for LaTeX 2.09, usually C lplain.fmt, to latex209.fmt. Finally, rename the current executable 0 version of latex in \arborxt\bin to latex209.exe  C You should then create a batch file latex209.bat, which temporarily E resets the TEXINPUT environment variable to a path which includes the E latex209 subdirectory before the TeX inputs directory, and then calls B latex209.exe.  Check that this batch file works before proceeding.      UNPACKING THE DISTRIBUTION ==========================   D To unpack the LaTeX distribution, you should change to the directoryC reserved for the installation and run iniTeX on the file unpack.ins 
 by typing:      initex unpack.ins      CREATING THE LATEX FORMAT  =========================   = To create the LaTeX format, you should run iniTeX on the file  latex.ltx by typing:      initex latex.ltx   " This will create a file latex.fmt.  D You should copy this to the directory where TeX looks for its format5 files, normally the formats subdirectory of arbortxt.    CREATING THE LATEX PROGRAM  $ Finally, create latex.exe by typing:      preload < mklatex.dat   + PUTTING THE FILES WHERE LATEX CAN READ THEM + ===========================================    ? You should move the following files to the TeX inputs directory  (usually arbortxt\inputs):   +    latexbug.tex  testpage.tex  docstrip.tex *    *.cls  *.clo  *.sty  *.fd  *.def  *.cfg  F If you use the MakeIndex program (called makeindx.exe) then you should4 also move the *.ist files into the inputs directory.      % CHECKING THAT THE INSTALLATION WORKED % =====================================    @ You should now run LaTeX on ltxcheck.tex.  This should produce aE number of `OK' messages.  If it produces any warnings, please consult / the `Problems' section of the file install.txt.    PROBLEMS ========  F initex requires more conventional memory than does plain tex or latex.F If either of the two steps above that use initex fail, try temporarilyG unloading any TSR programs or unnecessary device drivers until you have  created the .fmt file.    @ --- Copyright 1994 Micro Programs Inc and the LaTeX3 project ---@ ---                  All rights reserved.                    ---      
