files in the SLS TeX dirs (t1,t2,t3)
|
|
|
|
Note: only disk t1 is really essential
|
|
NOTE NOTE: if u have trouble with xdvi, make sure ur using
|
|
the one in this package (ie /usr/TeX/bin/xdvi) and not another
|
|
one (say /usr/X386/bin/xdvi). the xdvi in texbin.tpz doesnt
|
|
have the fontopen bug (source is in the /pub/linux/packages/TeX dir).
|
|
|
|
|
|
I compiled the binaries with gcc-2.3.3, 4.3 libs (xdvi and
|
|
mf require the 3.0 X libs)
|
|
|
|
the defaults for the TeX environmentals are:
|
|
|
|
BIBINPUTS ".:/usr/TeX/lib/tex/bib" /* bib file */
|
|
BSTINPUTS TEXINPUTS /* bib style file */
|
|
GFFONTS TEXFONTS /* GF font */
|
|
MFBASES "/usr/TeX/lib/mf/bases" /* base file */
|
|
MFINPUTS ".:/usr/TeX/src/TeX+MF/typefaces//:/usr/TeX/lib/mf/macros//"
|
|
MFPOOL "/usr/TeX/lib/mf" /* mf.pool */
|
|
PKFONTS TEXFONTS /* PK font */
|
|
TEXFONTS "/usr/TeX/lib/tex/fonts//:." /* TFM font */
|
|
TEXFORMATS "/usr/TeX/lib/tex/formats" /* format file */
|
|
TEXINPUTS ".:/usr/TeX/lib/tex/macros//:/usr/TeX/lib/tex/inputs//"
|
|
TEXPOOL "/usr/TeX/lib/tex" /* tex.pool */
|
|
VFFONTS TEXFONTS /* VFM font */
|
|
|
|
Note: paths ending in // will have their subdirectories searched also.
|
|
|
|
BUG: the binaries don't acknowledge settings of the above
|
|
environmentals! If you don't like the defaults, get the source (in the
|
|
/pub/linux/packages/TeX dir at tsx-11.mit.edu, and elsewhere) and set
|
|
them as you please.

most (but not all) of /pub/linux/packages/TeX has been relocated as above.

Updates, new files, etc will continue to be posted to pub/linux/packages/TeX

first. files with wide appeal may be moved into the SLS subdirs.

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
|
|
and dvips package.
|
|

|
|
TeX archive sites:
|
|
labrea.stanford.edu Knuth's home site
|
|
ftp.cs.umb.edu Karl Berry's home site (eplain, web2c)
|
|
ymir.claremont.edu large TeX archive in US
|
|
rusinfo.rus.uni-stuttgart.de home site for new LaTeX styles
|
|
of Mittelbach and Schoepf
|
|
|
|
|
|
REFERENCES:
|
|
Gentle.tex.Z good intro to Plain TeX (included texdoc.tpz )
|
|
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'')
|
|
|
|
comp.text.tex is the usenet group for TeX.
|
|
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.
|
|
i encourage you to look at tabledoc.dvi, pictures.dvi and
|
|
newssamp.dvi as examples of the (plain) tex macro packages
|
|
stables.tex, mfpic.tex, and newsletr.tex, respectively.
