Notes for building and installing LaTeX on Berkeley Unix 
Last modified by PAM in April, 1988, from an earlier version by Richard Furuta)

The user's manual for LaTeX is:
	"LaTeX: A Document Preparation System" by Leslie Lamport,
	Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, ISBN 0-201-15790
The current version of LaTeX corresponds to that manual, with corrections as
noted in doc/addendum.tex (relative to this directory).

There should be enough pk files present to allow you to run most LaTeX
output (without magnification) to 200 dpi, 240 dpi, and 300 dpi
devices.  There are also 118 dpi fonts for the Bitgraph and Sun
previewers.  If you use gf, rather than pk, there is a simple
conversion program in the appropriate *fonts/gf/gf??? directory
which will take all the pk fonts in the parallel pk??? directory
and expand them to gf format.

If you have comments, feel free to pass them on to me.

The file named latex.ins contains the installation instructions from Lamport
(note that CIRCLE fonts in that document are replaced by lcircle fonts on
the Unix distribution).  
The file local.tex can be customized to provide information for users at
your instalation.

LaTeXdoc/latex.bug contains fairly recent news about corrected bugs in
the latex macros and LaTeXdoc/lerrata.tex contains corrections to
older (pre-publication) editions of the LaTeX manual and information
about other changes.  LaTeXdoc/letter.tex and LaTeXslitex/slides.tex
are appendices describing, respectively, the letter document style for
LaTeX and a separate version of LaTeX (called SliTeX) that is used in
making slides.

Directories (all directory names are relative to this area):

	LaTeXbibtex	The LaTeX bibliography processor.  You are urged to
		install this as well.
	LaTeXdoc	LaTeX documentation.
	LaTeXmacros	*.sty and their related *.doc files.  Also found 
		here are *.tex files for useful LaTeX documents (such as
		lablst.tex and sample.tex).
	LaTeXslitex 	The SliTeX system, which can be set up as shown below,
		with the substition of "splain" for "lplain" throughout

In order to install LaTeX, you should do the following:

	(1) put the files currently in LaTeXmacros into your central
	    macro area, /usr/local/lib/tex/inputs in the standard
	    distribution.  (The *.doc files are not required for
	    running LaTeX but provide documentation for the
	    corresponding *.sty files). You may also want to put
	    latex.tex, lfonts.tex, and lplain.tex into this area.

	(2) create the format file for lplain (which includes latex.tex
	    and lfonts.tex):

		% initex
		** lplain \dump

	    Put the lplain.fmt into the appropriate area
	    (/usr/local/lib/tex in the distribution, again).

	(3) create a preloaded LaTeX (where ^\ is your quit character---see
	    ./tex82/README for more information):

	% virtex '&lplain' xyxyxy
        This is TeX, Version 2.9 for Berkeley UNIX (no format preloaded)
        ! I can't find file `xyxyxy.tex'.
        <*> &lplain xyxyxy 
  
        Please type another input file name: ^\
		Notice that the pseudo-file-name "xyxyxy" can be any 
		nonsense character string you choose, so long as you 
		are sure that no file named xyxyxy.tex is accessible.

		The "^\" character represents your "Quit" character 
		(usually CTRL-\) which makes a core file.

- convert the core file into something that can be run by saying

	% undump latex virtex core

	    The undumped file (latex) goes into your system's search path.


As noted above, I urge you to install BibTeX as well (see the files in
LaTeXbibtex).  I would also suggest that you take a look at
./tex82/contributions/van/s2latex.  This contains a Scribe to LaTeX
translator created by Van Jacobson of Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory.  

./tex82/TeXcontrib/trickey/delatex.lex is a filter that removes LaTeX
constructs from its input, producing a stream of words that can be piped to
spell (1).  See also ./tex82/TeXcontrib/kamal and ./tex82/TeXcontrib/trinkle
for other approaches.  There is also a detex.el for GNU Emacs which will
produce the same effect.

./tex82/TeXcontrib/rusty/r2bib contains a refer to bibtex format
conversion program.

./tex82/TeXcontrib/tib contains a system closely based on refer that
can be used with both TeX and LaTeX
