Appendix B
Installation Procedures – PC

B.1. Introduction

The 2 A  MS-TEX software can be used with any full implementation of TEX. Sections B.2–B.5 of this appendix describe the installation of 2 A  MS-TEX for DOS implementations of TEX on an IBM PC or compatible machine from a DOS diskette or diskettes provided by the American Mathematical Society. PCTEX (from Personal TEX, Inc.) is used as an example. If your operating system is not DOS, or if you obtained 2 A  MS-TEX through other channels, you won't be able to use the
\install program that is provided. Instead, follow the generic installation instructions in section B.6. You will have to refer to the documentation for your particular implementation of TEX to work out the details of any necessary variations. Users who encounter difficulties should seek help from the manufacturer of their implementation of TEX, or from the American Mathematical Society's technical support staff.

The TFM files for some of AMSFonts 2.1 (
\msam*,
\msbm*, and
\eufm*) are needed to run 2 A  MS-TEX with the AMSPPT documentstyle, even if you don't plan to actually print anything using the AMSFonts. In the diskette distribution TFM files for all AMSFonts are provided in a directory named
\
tfm. They are also available from the AMS Internet archive,
\e-MATH.ams.org, by anonymous FTP.

B.2. Getting Started

The installation procedures consist of moving files to the proper directories, and creating format files. The first step is determining the names of the proper directories, which will vary with different implementations of TEX. You need to know the name of your TEX inputs directory, your TEX TFM directory, and your TEX formats directory. Check your directory structure or consult the documentation for your implementation of TEX to see what these names are. If you have any difficulty determining these directories:

3pc    "   1 "()"  "##1"to##1   "(a)"Search for the plain TEX input file,
\plain.tex. The directory where it is located will be your TEX inputs directory. "(b)"Search for the font file
\cmr10.tfm. The directory where it is found will be your TEX TFM directory. "(c)"Search for the plain TEX format file,
\plain.fmt. The directory where it is found will be your TEX formats directory.

Note: If you currently have any of the following files from earlier releases of 2 A  MS-TEX, backup and delete them before installing the new version. They are either irrelevant or superseded in the new version of 2 A  MS-TEX, and it is best to remove them to avoid confusion. All of them except for the last one would be found in your TEX inputs directory;
\amsplain.fmt would be found in your TEX formats directory.

5 amsfil.chg& amsplain.tex& amsppt.sty& amsppt.mor& amstex.tex amstex.chg& cyracc.def& cyrmemo.def& cyrmemo.tex& amsplain.fmt

Users who did not receive 2 A  MS-TEX on diskette from the AMS, or those using non-DOS implementations of TEX, should proceed now to section B.6.

B.3. Installing 2 A  MS-TEX (DOS/diskette)

The following files are used in the installation process for DOS implementations of TEX, for 2 A  MS-TEX 2.1:

For DOS installation, you need to know on which drive to install 2 A  MS-TEX. This should be the drive on which you already have installed TEX.

For PCTEX, you will probably want to select the first choice for each of the questions which the installation programs asks you. This will result in placing the 2 A  MS-TEX files in the directory
\
pctex
texinput and the TFM files in the directory
\
pctex
textfms.

For other DOS implementations of TEX, you will need to know the names of your TEX inputs directory and TEX TFM directory, as described earlier, so that you can enter them when prompted.

  0##  0<10pc to10pc0  〈return〉   a:

install  

This will run the
\install program, which will ask you some questions. Enter the answers which you determined from reading the above paragraphs.

B.4. Running INITEX to Create Format Files (DOS)

To complete the installation procedure, you should create a format file. This will enable you to run TEX with 2 A  MS-TEX, or 2 A  MS-TEX and the AMSPPT preprint style, preloaded. This preloading will save quite a bit of startup time on slower systems. Note: Each format file takes up 150K–300K of disk space (depending on your implementation of TEX).

Warning: INITEX requires much more memory to run than regular TEX. The first time you try to run INITEX, you may get the message ``Not enough memory to run TeX'' or something similar (or with simpler implementations, it may just crash). If this happens, you must remove as many memory-resident programs as possible (such as communications software and memory-resident utilities [TSRs]) and reboot your system to create enough memory to run INITEX. Consult the documentation for your implementation of TEX for more information on running INITEX.

You are now ready to create a format file so that 2 A  MS-TEX, or 2 A  MS-TEX and the AMSPPT preprint style, can be preloaded when you typeset a document. Before creating your format file, you will want to consider whether you habitually use the AMSPPT documentstyle. If you use other documentstyles rarely or never, then you would benefit from the use of a format file with
\amsppt.sty preloaded. If you are likely to use other documenstyles periodically, then you probably do not want to preload
\amsppt.sty. To make a simple 2 A  MS-TEX format file, proceed with the next paragraph. To make a format file with
\amsppt.sty preloaded, edit the file
\amstex.ini and remove the percent sign (comment character) at the beginning of the line   0  0>0pt 0   {{}} 
\\documentstyle{amsppt}, just before the   0  0>0pt 0   {{}} 
\\dump command.

The TEX file named
\amstex.ini should now be installed in your TEX inputs directory. Once you have decided whether to create an 2 A  MS-TEX or an AMSPPT format file (see previous paragraph), run INITEX on
\amstex.ini. E.g., for PCTEX, you would give the command

  0##  0<10pc to10pc0  〈return〉   tex amstex.ini -i 

This creates an 2 A  MS-TEX format file named
\amstex.fmt. For other implementations of TEX the form of the INITEX command may be different, e.g., tex/i amstex.ini.

Moving the format files to the right directory. Some implementations of TEX, including PCTEX, will automatically place the format file in the proper directory. Otherwise you should now move the file manually into your TEX formats directory.

B.5. Using 2 A  MS-TEX 2.0+ (DOS)

On the distribution diskettes, a DOS batch file
\amstex.bat is provided, to make use of the format file more convenient.
\amstex.bat will have been placed by the installation procedures in the root directory of the drive where TEX is located. If you are connected to that directory or if it is in your system path, you would run 2 A  MS-TEX on a file called
\filename.tex by typing

  0##  0<10pc to10pc0  〈return〉   amstex filename 

B.6. Installing 2 A  MS-TEX (Generic)

Use these instructions if you didn't receive 2 A  MS-TEX on diskettes from the AMS, but obtained it by other methods, or if you have a non-DOS implementation of TEX. You will need to know the names of your TEX inputs directory, TEX TFM directory, and TEX formats directory, as explained in section B.2.

3pc    "   1 "()"  "##1"to##1   Copy the following files into your TEX inputs directory:
\amstex.tex,
\amsppt.sty,
\amssym.tex,
\amstex.ini, and
\amsppt1.tex. 9999

There are three documentation files:
\amsguide.tex,
\joyerr.tex, and
\amsppt.doc. If you have a documentation directory, or wish to create one, then put these files there; otherwise they can be put in the TEX inputs directory. 9999

Copy the AMSFonts TFM files to your TEX TFM directory. If you don't plan to use any of the AMSFonts, you should still copy
\dummy.tfm, which is needed for 2 A  MS-TEX's syntax check option, and
\msam*.tfm,
\msbm*.tfm, and
\eufm*.tfm, which are needed for typesetting the User's Guide.

You are now ready to create a format file so that 2 A  MS-TEX, or 2 A  MS-TEX and the AMSPPT preprint style, can be preloaded when you typeset a document. Before creating your format file, you will want to consider whether you habitually use the AMSPPT documentstyle. If you use other documentstyles rarely or never, then you would benefit from the use of a format file with
\amsppt.sty preloaded. If you are likely to use other documenstyles periodically, then you probably do not want to preload
\amsppt.sty. To make a simple 2 A  MS-TEX format file, proceed with the next paragraph. To make a format file with
\amsppt.sty preloaded, edit the file
\amstex.ini and remove the percent sign (comment character) at the beginning of the line   0  0>0pt 0   {{}} 
\\documentstyle{amsppt}, just before the   0  0>0pt 0   {{}} 
\\dump command.

Check the documentation for your implementation of TEX to find out how to run INITEX and create format files. Format files greatly speed up processing when you are using a large macro package such as 2 A  MS-TEX. If your implementation of TEX doesn't automatically place format files in the TEX formats directory (check your documentation), you will have to either go to the TEX formats directory before running INITEX, or move the format files there after they are created. The warning in section B.4 will also be relevant, for most PC users. Once you have decided whether to include AMSPPT in your format file (see above paragraph), run the file
\amstex.ini through INITEX, to create the file
\amstex.fmt. This is a preloaded form of 2 A  MS-TEX. If you included AMSPPT, you may wish to rename it
\amsppt.fmt.

Now move the format file that you just created into your TEX formats directory, if you didn't create it there.

For details of how to use format files with your implementation of TEX, see your documentation. Typically, you use a format file by specifying it on the command line preceded by an ampersand, e.g., tex &amstex filename. If you did not receive a printed copy of this User's Guide with your distribution, you can use your newly created 2 A  MS-TEX or AMSPPT format file to typeset the file
\amsguide.tex.

Appendix C
Installation Procedures – Macintosh

C.1. Introduction

These instructions describe the installation of 2 A  MS-TEX for use with Textures, on the Macintosh. There is one disk in the distribution. The files
\amstex.tex and
\amsppt.sty are Textures documents to be input by Textures. The file
\amsppt.doc is technical documentation for the macros defined in
\amsppt.sty. The file
\amstex.ini is used in the installation to create format files. The file
\amsguide.tex is the Textures source for this User's Guide.9999

The file
\joyerr.tex is a list of errata to the 1986 edition of The Joy of TEX. You may typeset it in Textures using your new 2 A  MS-TEX format file (once it has been created). If you do not have AMSFonts 2.1, the characters in this file which come from the AMS symbol fonts will appear in the default system font. The file
\AMSFonts 2.1 metrics contains the TEX metrics information for AMSFonts 2.1. This file is required to use
\amsppt.sty even if you do not have AMSFonts 2.1. (Note: Even if you currently have AMSFonts 2.0, we strongly recommend that you obtain version 2.1, as the metrics have changed.)

2 A  MS-TEX Versions 2.0+ can be used with Textures without AMSFonts. However, 2 A  MS-TEX Versions 2.0+ will not work with releases of AMSFonts previous to Version 2.0. Additionally, if AMSFonts 2.1 are to be used, they require Textures version 1.2 or higher. If you have an earlier release of Textures, you must upgrade before using these fonts. To upgrade Textures, contact the manufacturer: Blue Sky Research, 534 SW Third Ave., Portland, OR 97204; 800-622-8398 or 503-222-9571.

C.2. If You Have a Previous Version of 2 A  MS-TEX

Before installing the new version of 2 A  MS-TEX, you should backup and delete files from your hard disk which are related to previous releases of 2 A  MS-TEX. In particular, you should remove the following files from your
\Textures folder (or any folders contained in your
\Textures folder):

5 amsfil.chg&amsplain.tex&amsppt.sty&amsppt.mor&amstex.tex amstex.chg&cyracc.def&cyrmemo.def&cyrmemo.tex

and you should remove any previous 2 A  MS-TEX format files from your
\TeX formats folder. These files are either irrelevant or superseded in the new version of 2 A  MS-TEX, and it is best to remove them from your hard disk to avoid confusion.

C.3. Installing 2 A  MS-TEX

If you do not have a folder named
\TeX inputs inside the
\Textures folder on your hard disk, create a new folder inside your
\Textures folder and name it
\TeX inputs. Also, if you do not have a
\TeX formats folder, create a new folder inside your
\Textures folder and name it
\TeX formats. Likewise, create a
\TeX fonts folder if you do not already have one.

To install the new version of 2 A  MS-TEX on your system, copy the following files into the
\TeX inputs folder inside the
\Textures folder on your hard disk:

    amstex.tex    amssym.tex    amsppt.sty     amsppt1.tex    amstex.ini

Then copy the file
\amsfonts 2.1 metrics into the
\TeX fonts folder inside of the
\Textures folder on your hard disk.

You are now ready to create a format file so that 2 A  MS-TEX, or 2 A  MS-TEX and the AMSPPT preprint style, can be preloaded when you typeset a document. Before creating your format file, you will want to consider whether you habitually use the AMSPPT documentstyle. If you use other documentstyles rarely or never, then you would benefit from the use of a format file with
\amsppt.sty preloaded. If you are likely to use other documenstyles periodically, then you probably do not want to preload
\amsppt.sty. To make a simple 2 A  MS-TEX format file, proceed with the next paragraph. To make a format file with
\amsppt.sty preloaded, edit the file
\amstex.ini and remove the percent sign (comment character) at the beginning of the line   0  0>0pt 0   {{}} 
\\documentstyle{amsppt}, just before the   0  0>0pt 0   {{}} 
\\dump command.

Open the
\TeX inputs folder (inside your
\Textures folder) and double-click on the file
\amstex.ini to start running Textures. Make sure that the line   0  0>0pt 0   {{}} 
\\input plain is commented out (begins with a percent sign). If there is not a percent sign at the beginning of this line, insert one. Check under the Typeset menu to make sure that the Plain format is selected (there is a check mark next to it). Select ``Typeset'' from the Typeset menu. When the dialog box appears asking you what to name the format file, go through the folder hierarchy to place yourself inside the
\TeX formats folder inside your
\Textures folder. You may name the file what you wish, but
\2.1 is a good idea. If you included
\amsppt.sty in your format file, name the format file
\AMS-TeX/AMSPPT or something similarly descriptive.

For more information about using formats in Textures, see the Textures User's Guide.

If you did not receive a printed copy of the 2 A  MS-TEX User's Guide with your distribution, you can use your newly created 2 A  MS-TEX or AMSPPT format file to typeset the file
\amsguide.tex.
