Plaintext
the basic, standard TeX stuff has been moved into the SLS subdirs
|
|
(ie ../SLS/t[1-3], etc) see SLS.tex.files for file lists
|
|
I compiled the binaries with gcc-2.3.3, 4.3 libs (xdvi and
|
|
mf require the 3.0 X libs)
|
|
|
|
NOTE: more recent binaries, etc. are in the packages in the Milieu
|
|
subdir.

for mf graphic support, in your .Xdefaults file, add:
|
|
mf*height: 480
|
|
mf*width: 640
|
|
or whatever you want (to change the default origin position,
|
|
edit plain.mf and make a new format)
|
|
|
|
Printer support: texbin.tpz contains a laserjet driver (source:
|
|
ftp.wu-wien.ac.at pub/src/Typeset/dvi2xx)
|
|
for PostScript, Rokicki's dvips is best
|
|
(ftp labrea.stanford.edu or neon.stanford.edu
|
|
for source and support files)
|
|
- for ur convenience, i've included dvilj package
|
|

Knuth's The TeXbook/The MetaFontbook are std. refs, there are also

many good introductions and comprehensive textbooks around,
|

look in your library or bookstore (I recommend ``TeX for
|
|
the Impatient'')

A FAQ and site list is avail at: cs.nyu.edu in dir ~ftp/pub/tex

|
i'll try to answer questions about TeX and MetaFont, both as typesetting
|
|
utilities and as programming languages in their own right.
