-
- TeX ist a professional book printing system. It was designed to give you
- maximum output quality. Mathematical formulas and complicated tables
- can easily be integrated into the text.
-
- CS-TeX 4.0 (which is based upon TeX 3.141 and MetaFont 2.7) is one of the
- successors of the Public Domain AtariTeX 2.00/2.10. (The other one is
- MultiTeX 5.0; see the docs for more details.) Besides bug fixes and
- support for new printer models the main difference is the extension of
- the graphics features (CSG level 2) and a substantial speed increase in
- some of the graphics functions.
-
- CS-TeX 4.0 is not (!!!) in the public domain, but it is freeware.
- So you may copy and distribute it only if you take absolutely no
- money for this sevice. It is especially not allowed do distribute
- this disk via commercial public domain sevices.
-
- You will need at least 1 MB of free RAM. You must have a hard disk.
- For test purpose only you may use a 3 MB RAM disk as a substitute for
- the hard disk. The system is too big to get installed on floppy disks.
-
- Performing an update needs the old system to be deleted completely first.
- (Of course you need not delete your own input files. You can also use
- the old PK fonts.)
-
-
- Contents
- ========
-
- The CS-TeX 4.00 as of May 1992 consists of the following 8 disks:
-
- - Disk CS-TeX 1/8 contains:
- -> README -- This file.
- -> INFO -- German translation of `README'.
- -> INSTALL.PRG -- Installation program.
- -> TEX314.LZH -- Archive including TEX.TTP et alia,
- -> more archives. These are all needed for working with TeX. You must
- install all of them.
-
- - Disk CS-TeX 2/8 contains:
- -> BIBTEX.LZH and other archives. You may omit installing these in case
- you're in lack of hard disk space.
-
- - Disk CS-TeX 3/8 contains:
- -> SCREEN.LZH -- The screen previewer. You will need this in any case.
- -> LASER.LZH -- Printer drivers for laser printers and HP DeskJet. If
- you have one of these printers you must install the
- corresponding driver.
- -> OTHER.LZH -- Printer driver for 9-, 24-, and 48-pin printers. If
- you have one of these printers you must install the
- corresponding driver. This archives also contains the
- driver that `prints' into a GEM IMG file.
- -> BILDER.LZH -- Documentation and demo of the CS-TeX graphics
- capabilities.
-
- -> MDISKxxx.LZH -- A very nice copy program especially for copies
- floppy <--> hard disk. This program is independent
- and not part of the TeX-System.
-
- - Disk CS-TeX 4/8 contains:
- -> BIGTEX.LZH -- Two BigTeX-Versions: `Large' for 2 MB RAM and
- `Huge' for 4 MB RAM, plus documentation.
- You can use this versions only if you have that much RAM.
- All normal TeX texts and all the docs and demos found
- in this package will work well with the normal version.
- -> M_EMACS.LZH -- a text editor (some old MicroEMACS); you will need it
- only if you still don't have a text editor.
-
- -> XEDIT170 -- Add-on: GEM-Texteditor xEdit 1.70 by Alexander Gröpl.
- This program is not part of the TeX package. Please
- see the it's docs for the copyright notice (ShareWare).
-
- - Disk CS-TeX 5/8 contains:
- -> MF27.LZH -- MetaFont, the font-generator for TeX.
- -> MF-UTIL.LZH -- Utility programs to support MetaFont.
-
- - Disk CS-TeX 6/8 contains:
- -> INPUTS_1.LZH -- Input files that MetaFont will need.
- -> INPUTS_2.LZH -- Input files that MetaFont will need.
- -> WASY.LZH -- Funny symbol character set (telephone etc.)
-
- - Disk CS-TeX 7/8 contains:
- -> FONTS.LZH -- Fonts for the screen previewer
- -> P6_FONTS.LZH -- Fonts for 24-pin printers.
- -> P6_HDMIN.LZH -- Mini-font-set for 24-pin printers in high resolution.
- -> FX_MINI.LZH -- Mini-font-set for 9-pin printers.
-
- - Disk CS-TeX 8/8 contains:
- -> LJ_FONTS.LZH -- Fonts fo laser printers.
- -> BJ_MINI.LZH -- Mini-font-set for CANON BJ-130.
-
- All of th disks can be installed with INSTALL.PRG. Normally you should
- install the whole system on a single partition but the MetaFont part
- (disks 5 and 6) may go onto a separate partition. The rest should be
- kept together.
-
- >>
- >> WARNING: The LZH archives were changed from -lh1- with UNIX-style filenames
- >> to -lh5- with MSDOS-style filenames. I don't know any LHarc
- >> version that can handle both. On disk 2 you will find two
- >> LHarc-versions; just in case you want to manipulate the
- >> archives by hand.
- >>
- >> INSTALL.PRG version 2.0 (and up) can (of course) handle both types.
- >> So you don't need LHarc to install the TeX system.
-
- Since all of the fonts can easily be generated with MetaFont I have included
- only a small subset for the start. You will have to generate the rest as
- you need it.
-
- Generating the normal font set from 'KLEIN.FTS' will take you about 12 hours
- for one device on a normal ST.
-
- The old fonts (up to March 1990) were partly generated with different
- parameters and old buggy MF input files. Please don't use them any more.
-
-
- Before you install
- ==================
-
- Before installing the TeX system please check the following points:
-
- 1. The AUTO folder of your boot disk should contain FOLDR050.PRG. This does
- not only apply to the old TOS versions but also to TOS 1.4 and 1.6 !
- If the program is missing, copy it into the AUTO folder and re-boot.
-
- 2. If you have at least TOS 1.4 (Copyright message: year 1989 or later),
- you should also put CACHE010.PRG into the AUTO folder as this will
- improve the speed. If your TOS is older than 1.4, then do *not* use
- CACHE010.PRG !!!
-
- 3. make a backup of your TeX work and then completely delete the old TeX
- and MetaFont. Old here means all versions that did not come with
- INSTALL.PRG.
-
- It is important not to mix parts of the two systems because some parts
- don't work together correctly. Your TeX files however will of course
- work with the new systems. You need not change them. Additional info
- may be found in 'update.txt' which installs itself in the folder
- TEX_DOC.
-
- Please delete the old system first before you install the new one.
- And don't mix the two.
-
- Installation
- ============
-
- In order to install CS-TeX you need 5 - 10 MegaByte free space on one
- partition of your hard disk. If you want to install MetaFont too, you will
- need 3 more MegaBytes.
-
- These sizes hold for a 'normal' system. If you want to keep lots of
- fonts in lots of magnifications on your hard disk, you may well need
- much more space.
-
- If you don't have the TOS 1.4 of 1989 (or a later TOS version) and AHDI 3.0
- or a compatible hard disk driver, TOS will crash on partitions bigger than
- 15 MegaBytes.
-
- INSTALL.PRG makes the installation very easy:
- - If you have enough space you may install the complete system. After starting
- INSTALL.PRG just click on 'install' once for every one of the 8 disks.
- - If you don't have too much space you may reduce the installation to
- the disks 1, 3, 7, and (if you own a laser printer or HP DeskJet) 8.
-
- If the installation produces error messages like '*** Read error ***',
- '*** CRC error ***', '*** Corrupt archive ***', '*** Corrupt file size ***',
- or similar then you have a defect copy of the system which you should not
- use. Get a new copy of the disks.
-
- '*** Write error ***' or '*** File create error ***' will appear when
- your disk is full or write protected.
-
-
- Starting TeX
- ============
-
- After having installed everything start CTEX_E.PRG (this is the english
- version of CTEX.PRG), select your favourite text editor under `Find::editor'
- and save the parameters. You are now ready to process the pre-selected file
- 'CS_TEX.TEX' which ist the documentation for the system. (Time to learn
- the german language now.) The table of contents will appear after the second
- TeX run.
-
- Before printing you have to select the printer driver and parameters.
- You will find a list of printers and corrosponding drivers in the file
- `\TEX\TEX_DOC\DVI_INFO' and in `DVI_DOC.DVI'.
-
- Additional information is included in source form on the disks. You may
- `TeX' it and the read it using the previewer or print it after you selected
- the correct printer driver. It's wise to read the entire documentation at
- least once. After reading `CS_TEX.TEX' you should then read `DVI_DOC.DVI'
- and then the rest.
-
-
- No warranty

-
- The CS-TeX package ist well tested and I use it every day without
- problems. But since there always is `one more bug' I must tell you the
- following:
