[This file is ./DVIware/laser-setters/mctex/NOTE.
 It is intended for users for the UNIX TeX distribution.
 July 1990.]


Be sure to read the README file.

The mctex directory contains drivers for imPRESS printers 
(see ./imagen), PostScript printers (see ./postscript), and 
Versatec electrostatic printer/plotter units (see ./versatec).

It also contains dviselect -- the dvi page-selection program
(see ./dvi).

The previewer programs texsun and texx have not yet been
incorporated into the mctex package.  If you are working under
SunView, we suggest that you use dvisun (in ../../crt-viewers/
sunview/dvisun); if you are working under X-windows, try xdvi
(in ../../crt-viewers/X/xdvi).

==============================================================


Installing mctex programs:


1) Fontdesc is the file that tells your driver
   where the different kinds of fonts associated with TeX
   are to be found on your machine.

   The first thing you must do is edit this file, so

	% cd misc


2) % cp fontdesc /usr/local/lib/tex/fontdesc 

   [or to wherever you wish on your system].


3) Go to /usr/local/lib/tex [or wherever]
   and edit this fontdesc file to suit your site.

   Declare what kinds of fonts you have on your system,
   define the paths to them on your system,
   so that the mctex programs you make will know 
   how to search for them.

	The "%f" stands for the fontname (e.g., "cmr10" or "cmsy7").

	The "%m" stands for the value of magnification (e.g., "300").

   Be sure that the paths you define in this fontdesc file
   accurately reflect the organization of fonts on your machine.
   Attend carefully to the use of "%f" and "%m" in the default settings.


4) Go back to ./mctex.

   Edit the top-level Makefile to suit your site.

	Pay close attention to the definitions and paths for your site.
	Be sure that all the paths you give go to directories that exist;
	if they do not, be sure to make them before you go on to Step 5.

		BINDIR is where the excutables "dviconcat," "dvipr,"
		"dviselect," "imagen1," "iptex," "postscript," "pstex,"
		"verser1," or "verser2" will be installed, depending
		upon what you direct your Makefile to make.

		TEXDIR is where "psfig.tex" will be installed.

		LATEXDIR is where "psfig.sty" will be installed.

		TEXTFM is where the *.tfm files are stored on your system.

			PostScript printer sites:  after you have made
			and printed the MC-TeX User's Guide,
			be sure to read Section 5.6.  It will tell you
			what you need to know about PostScript tfm files.

		Read the comment preceding "MANDIR=";
		whatever the path you give, make certain that 
		in that directory, on your system,
		the subdirectory "man1" exists.

		FONTDESC is the path to your edited fontdesc file.

	You may want to duplicate the line beginning "DRIVERS="
	and comment out the original by placing a pound sign (#) 
	in front of it, and edit the copy by deleting whatever 
	is not pertinent to your site.

	If you have a PostScript printer, add "psfonts" to the
	"SUBDIR=" line if you wish to have the PostScript tfm files 
	(see ./psfonts/tfm) installed in your TEXTFM (i.e., TEXFONTS) 
	environment.  If you already have them on your system, keep
  	what you have.  In any case, be sure to read Section 5.6 of
	the MC-TeX User's Guide when you have printed it.   ...  

	If you do not have a PostScript printer,
	you will have no need for "psfig" and may delete it from the
	line.  If you are likely to re-use this makefile on other 
	machines, you may wish to follow the procedure in the
	preceding paragraph (i.e., make a copy of the line to 
	preserve the default settings, render it inactive by placing
	a pound sign in front of it, edit the copy). 

		One more note for PostScript printer sites:
		be sure that a directory -- $(LIBDIR)/ps --
		or whatever you wish -- exists on your system.
		That is where the file ./mctex/postscript/TeXPSfonts.map
		-- as well as the files mac.pro, pstex.pro, and
		pstexpsf.pro -- will be copied during "make install."

		TeXPSfonts.map is a map file that will tell the
		postscript driver about special fonts.  If you 
		want the driver to read some other file, you must
		define the environment variable PSFONTMAP as the 
		path name to that file.

5) % make all

   This will make the following programs in the following directories
   (assuming you are making everything):

   ./doc	mctex-int.dvi   [MC-TeX Internals Guide]
		mctex-uf.dvi    [MX-TeX User's Guide]

		[When your driver is installed, you will be able
		to print the above documentation files for MC-TeX.]

   ./dvi	dviconcat*   dviselect*

   ./imagen	imagen1*

   ./lib	*.o files   lib.a

   ./postscript postscript*

   ./psfig	mac.pro  psfig.sty  psfig.tex  ugt.aux  ugt.dvi
	
		[Ugt.dvi is the PSfig User's Guide for MC-TeX.]

   ./versatec	verser1*   verser2*


6) % make install

   Type "rehash" or whatever it is you do on your system to make
   executables immediately available to you.		


We strongly recommend that you make, print, and consult the
documentation.

We also recommend that you make the executables "dviselect"
and its companion program "dviconcat."  If you are installing
the PostScript driver that is part of the TeXPS package, it is
absolutely necessary that you make and install "dviselect."

The file "lib.a" which gets made in ./lib is necessary for the
making of all mctex programs.
