- These files are Release 3.14.1 of TeX plus associated BibTeX and MF
- and release 5.47 of dvips. They have been organized to help (I hope) ease the
- pain of updating for new compiler/library releases. Files that are
- dependent on the library version in use have been moved into separate
- sub-directories as has the web/web2c source.
-
- dvips.doc.T.Z - documentation for dvips
- mf.lib.i.T.Z - support files for metafont that are independent of the
- binary version in use
- tex.lib.i.T.Z - support files for tex, latex, slitex and bibtex that are
- independent of the binary version in use
- texmf.man.T.Z - *.1 man pages for most of the programs
-
- OLD - obsolete versions (to be deleted in due course)
-
- GCC.2.2.2.version - files that are dependent on the GCC 2.2.2 shared
- libraries. Includes:
- texetc.bin.T.Z - binaries linked with gcc 2.2.2 shared libs: includes
- - bibtex, initex, virtex, inimf, virmf, mft, dvicopy,
- - dvitype, pktogf, pktype, vftovp, vptovf, gftodvi,
- - gftopk, gftype, patgen, pltotf, tftopl, pooltype,
- - tangle, weave, dvips
- tex.lib.d.T.Z - tex.pool and format files for tex, latex etc for the
- - above binaries
- mf.lib.d.T.Z - metafont lib files for the above binaries
- mfnoX.T.Z - metafont binaries without X support
-
- Jump.4.1.version - files that are dependent on the version 4.1 jump
- libraries. Includes:
- texetc.bin.T.Z - binaries linked with version 4.1 jump libs: includes
- - bibtex, initex, virtex, inimf, virmf, mft, dvicopy,
- - dvitype, pktogf, pktype, vftovp, vptovf, gftodvi,
- - gftopk, gftype, patgen, pltotf, tftopl, pooltype,
- - tangle, weave, dvips
- tex.lib.d.T.Z - tex.pool and format files for tex, latex etc for the
- - above binaries
- mf.lib.d.T.Z - metafont lib files for the above binaries
- mfnoX.T.Z - metafont binaries without X support
-
- Source - source files for building TeX/MF. Includes:
- web.tar.Z - web sources for TeX/MF/BibTeX etc
- web2c.tar.Z - web2c sources for TeX/MF/BibTeX etc
- texmf.diff.T.Z - patch for the above 2 files for installation under linux
-
- The most efficient use (from the point of view of disk space) is to start
- without any pk files and let dvips create them as required. This is initially
- a little time consuming but eventually you will have all the pk files for fonts
- that you normally use (generally much less than a full LaTeX distribution).
-
- INSTALLATION:
-
- The files described above (except those in OLD and source) have been tarred
- relative to /usr/local rather than / as in the old version. This means that
- they may be installed in /usr or /usr/local (according to your preference)
- by cd'ing to the appropriate directory and untarring. (Hopefully this will
- amelorate the discussion about where they should go).
-
- IF they are installed in a directory other than /usr/local then it will be
- necessary to set the various environment variables (described in the man
- pages) to reflect their location so that the various binaries can find them.
- Also references in some man pages to the whereabouts of various files may need
- to be amended.
