------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Introduction
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a complete distribution of emTeX. It replaces the previous
official emTeX distribution as well as all previous betatest packages.

IMPORTANT: See CHANGES.ENG for changes with respect to the previous
emTeX distribution.  See INSTALL.ENG for the general installation
instructions.  See QUICK.ENG for quick installation instructions.

IMPORTANT: Please use the new font library files (such as lj_base.fli)
instead of the old ones (such as lj_0.fli through lj_5b.fli) as the
Computer Modern font sources and the METAFONT modes have changed.

The emTeX distribution includes the TeX typesetter, the METAFONT font
generation program, printer drivers, screen previewers, and tools like
BibTeX and MakeIndex.  It also includes the macro packages LaTeX 2.09
and LaTeX2e.  Fonts are included as pixel files and METAFONT source
files.

Documentation for the TeX and METAFONT `programming languages' is not
included.  You can get appropriate books at libraries and book stores.
However, the emTeX distribution includes documentation for the emTeX
implementations of TeX and METAFONT.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Installing emTeX
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You'll find the general installation instructions in INSTALL.ENG.
You'll find quick installation instructions in QUICK.GER.

You might want to print INSTALL.ENG file by typing

    copy a:\install.eng prn

or print QUICK.ENG by typing

    copy a:\quick.eng prn

(You don't need to print README.ENG.)


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Getting help
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You'll find some frequently asked questions with answers in
\emtex\doc\english\help.eng.  Before asking, you should read that
file.  Some don't like to be asked questions that are answered in
help.eng.

There is an electronic mailing list, emtex-user, for emTeX.  To get
information on how to subscribe and unsubscribe, send a message
containing

    HELP
    INFO EMTEX-USER

in the body to majordomo@physik.tu-berlin.de.

10. Directories
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following directories are created during the installation:

\emtex

    This is the root directory of the emTeX directory tree.  It should
    contain only subdirectories, no files.  The EMTEXDIR environment
    variable points to this directory.

\emtex\bibtex\bib

    Bibliography database for BibTeX.  The (optional) BIBINPUT
    environment variable points to this directory.

\emtex\bibtex\bst

    Style files for BibTeX.  The (optional) BSTINPUT environment
    variable points to this directory.

\emtex\bin

    Executable files (that is, programs).  Add this directory to your
    PATH.

\emtex\bmfbases

    METAFONT base files (macro packages such as `plain' in a
    fast-loading format) and mf.poo, for bigMETAFONT and mf386.  The
    (optional) BMFBAS environment variable points to this directory.

\emtex\book

    OS/2 on-line manuals.  This directory has the following
    subdirectories:

        english         English manuals

    To view an OS/2 on-line manual (such as dvidrv.inf), type

        view c:\emtex\book\english\dvidrv

    If you have added c:\emtex\book\english to the BOOKSHELF
    environment variable, the following command will also work:

        view dvidrv

\emtex\btexfmts

    TeX format files (macro packages such as LaTeX, in a fast-loading
    format) and tex.poo, for bigTeX and tex386.  The (optional)
    BTEXFMT environment variable points to this directory.

\emtex\data

    Various configuration, parameter, and data files.  This directory
    is located via the EMTEXDIR environment variable.

\emtex\dist\latex

    LaTeX2e distribution files.

\emtex\dll

    Dynamic link libraries for OS/2.  This directory should be listed
    in the LIBPATH statement of config.sys.

    Instructions and manuals.  The texts in this directory are
    available in one language only (English or German).

\emtex\doc\english

    English instructions and manuals.

    format) and tex.poo, for htex386.  The (optional) HTEXFMT
    environment variable points to this directory.

\emtex\idxstyle

    Style files for MakeIndex.  To use MakeIndex style files, the
    INDEXSTYLE environment variable points to this directory, as
    MakeIndex does not use a default directory.

\emtex\mfbases

    METAFONT base files (macro packages such as `plain' in a
    fast-loading format) and mf.poo.  The (optional) MFBAS environment
    variable points to this directory.

    This directory should contain only subdirectories, no files.  The
    (optional) TEXINPUT environment variable points to this directory.
