Macintosh/TeX Archive Readme File
Version 8; June 31, 1994
Archive Site: midway.uchicago.edu [128.135.12.73]
Current OzTeX Version: 1.7 (TeX 3.141)
Messages: Users of Version 1.42 or later should upgrade.
Oztex 1.7 is shareware and has numerous improvements over 1.6
(not the least, support for LaTeX2e).
This archive contains software that is useful for doing TeX on a Macintosh.
Formats:
Files ending in .hqx are files have been run through binhex4 (or the binhex
menu item in stuffit1.5.1) to create ascii files. To decode, combine all
parts (removing all intermediate characters) and use binhex4 or the binhex
menu item in Stuffit.
Files ending in .sit are stuffit archives that are stored using
Macbinary format, i.e., a binary file that includes all three macintosh
forks. You must use binary (8-bit) transfer methods to get these files,
then decode with binhex5 or transfer to your mac with any Macintosh comm
program that does Macbinary conversion. The shareware program zterm does
macbinary conversion as do many commercial communications programs.
A few of the older files in the archive are binary files but not stored in
macbinary format. If for some reason macbinary conversion fails, try
transferring the file as a straight binary file and opening it directly in
stuffit (hold down the option key as you select open to make it appear in
the file menu). I believe that the only files saved this way are those in
the bibtex directory.
Here is a brief summary by directory of what is here, followed by
additional information about OzTeX. (This summary may not be completely
up-to-date as the archive changes periodically.)
For Help, send mail to: oztex@midway.uchicago.edu.

Additional Information:
OzTeX is a public domain version of TeX for the Macintosh written by Andrew
Trevorrow. TeX is the typsetting system developed by Donald Knuth at
Stanford University. OzTeX was written by translating Knuth's original
code to Modula-2 and then porting to the Macintosh. OzTeX Version 1.3
encorporates the changes in TeX 3.0.
The OzTeX delivery includes the OzTeX program; a complete set of TFM files
for the computer modern font set and TFM files for selected Adobe fonts;
input files for LaTeX; full Modula-2 source code for OzTeX; and a
complete set of font files (in PK format). OzTeX includes a screen
previewer and the capabilities of initex to create new format files.
Here are some exerpts from the OzTeX Users Manual.
OzTeX should work on any Macintosh Plus, SE, II or newer model. It will
not work on a 128K or 512K Mac. OzTeX was developed on a Mac Plus with 1
Meg of RAM and a 20 Meg hard disk. This is just about the minimum hardware
configuration, given the large amount of memory required to run OzTeX and
the large amount of disk space needed to store all the font information.
OzTeX can only print on a PostScript-compatible printer.There is currently
no support for other types of printers. If you plan to use an Apple
LaserWriter (any model) the installation should be straightforward.
[Without the use of additional utilities, like psprint or dvim72mac.]
The OzTeX delivery is stored here packed as Stuffit-1.5.1 archives
(Version-1.5.1 is necessary, as the stuffit files contain folders), which
have been run through binhex and broken into pieces.
Getting Started: If you use the binhex versions, ftp all files from a
directory (e.g., oztex/*.hqx); use an editor or editing script to remove
all lines of the form <<< End of Part #>>> or <<< Start of Part # >>>;
concatinate the files in order to form one long file; run binhex4 (or
the binhex option from Stuffit) on the result.
If you use the binary versions be sure to put ftp in binary mode
before starting the transfer. The resulting file will be a Macbinary
version of the entire sit file. You will need a terminal emulator on
you mac that provides Macbinary file transfer to move the binary to
your Macintosh.
When you have all the necessary stuffit files, use Stuffit 1.5.1 or
higher version to decode the .sit files. (Version 1.5.1 is required
since the archives contain folders.)
IMPORTANT: You will need to create a new folder called PK-files and
place the font folders within this folder.
The OzTeX documentation is written with LaTeX and can be found in the
folder LaTeX-docs.
Have fun!
