- NOTE: I was planning to increase the shareware fees with this release
- but I've decided to keep the individual fee fixed at $30 for a bit longer.
- I have however increased the group fee to $300 but I will accept payments
- at the old rate of $150 until the end of May (1995!). Note that if a
- university pays the group fee then all staff and students are covered for
- ALL future versions of OzTeX.

- Introduction
- ------------
-
- OzTeX is a shareware implementation of TeX for the Macintosh. This file
- explains how to install OzTeX and print out a copy of the OzTeX User Guide.
- OzTeX is normally distributed as a set of hqx files:
-
- oztex.hqx -- Contains OzTeX and OzTools (for 68020 and later Macs),
- the Correct file, and these folders:
- Configs, Help-files, TeX-docs and LaTeX-docs.
- oz68000.hqx -- Contains OzTeX and OzTools for 68000 Macs (eg. Plus or SE).
- ozppc.hqx -- Contains OzTeX and OzTools for PowerPC Macs.
- inputs.hqx -- Contains the TeX-inputs folder.
- formats.hqx -- Contains the TeX-formats folder.
- fonts.hqx -- Contains the TeX-fonts folder.
- vf.hqx -- Contains the VF-files folder.
- ps.hqx -- Contains the PS-files folder.
- pk.hqx -- Contains the PK-files folder.
- dvips.hqx -- Contains Tom Kiffe's dvips (requires System 7).
- mf.hqx -- Contains Tom Kiffe's Metafont (requires System 7).
- bbedit.hqx -- Contains Rich Siegel's BBEdit Lite.
- anagrams.hqx -- Contains the Anagrams folder (an optional extra).
- register.hqx -- Contains the Register folder.
-
- If you already have OzTeX 1.8 then you don't need to get all of these files.
- The files in fonts.hqx, vf.hqx, pk.hqx and bbedit.hqx have not changed.
- You must get oztex.hqx. If you have a Power Mac then get ozppc.hqx. If you
- have a Mac with a 68000 CPU then get oz68000.hqx. The TeX-inputs folder has
- two new files (plain.tex and ltpatch.ltx) which have been used to create new
- versions of Plain.fmt and LaTeX.fmt in the TeX-formats folder. Instead of
- getting inputs.hqx and formats.hqx, it would be quicker to get plain.tex and
- ltpatch.ltx from any CTAN site and then use INITEX to rebuild the formats.
- The PS-files folder has one new encoding file (BaKoMaCM.enc), so you only
- need to get ps.hqx if you intend to use the BaKoMa fonts (described below).
- New versions of dvips, Metafont, Anagrams and Register are included in 1.9,
- so you might want to get their corresponding hqx files. Then again, it might
- be a lot simpler just to get everything!
-
- The Register program provides an alternative way to pay for my programs.
- In particular, it allows for payment by credit card which should be cheaper
- and easier for people outside Australia.
-
- PLEASE NOTE: There is a separate shareware fee for Tom Kiffe's programs.
- Send US$25 for a single user, or US$100 for a site license, to
-
- Thomas R. Kiffe
- P.O. Box 516
- College Station, Texas 77841
- USA.
-
- For more information, send e-mail to tkiffe@math.tamu.edu. I hope all
- OzTeX users who make use of Metafont and/or dvips will support Tom's work.
- To save some space, I've created minimal versions of dvips and Metafont.
- The above shareware fee covers you for Tom's full CMacTeX distribution which
- is available at any CTAN site or mirror in /tex-archive/systems/mac/cmactex.
- (The main CTAN sites are ftp.shsu.edu, ftp.tex.ac.uk and ftp.dante.de.)
- CMacTeX contains a lot of other stuff that you might find useful.

- How to install OzTeX
- --------------------
-
- If you already have an older version of OzTeX then you should install this
- new version in a new folder to avoid clobbering any of your own fonts,
- config files, TeX input files, etc. Once you have the new version up and
- running you can merge in your own modifications.
-
- Assuming you have enough disk space, carry out the following steps:
-
- 1. Create a new folder on your hard disk and call it anything you like.
- "OzTeX" would be a good choice!
-
- 2. Unpack all the hqx files in the new folder. If you use StuffIt Expander
- then it might create "oztex Folder" as a result of unpacking oztex.hqx;
- if so, move everything out of "oztex Folder" and trash the empty folder.
- Other programs like Compact Pro or UnStuffIt will convert the hqx files
- into self-extracting archives, so just double-click on the sea files.
- Delete all hqx and sea files after everything has been unpacked.
-
- 3. To check the installation, double-click on the Correct file. This is a
- TeachText/SimpleText document containing a picture of a correctly installed
- OzTeX folder. Make sure your new folder looks the same!
-
- OzTeX should now be ready to run.
-
-
- How to install dvips and Metafont
- ---------------------------------
-
- NOTE: If you have previously installed dvips and Metafont then all you need
- to do is replace the old versions of Tom's programs with the new versions.
- You should delete the new versions of tex.config, dvips.env and texmf.env.
-
- Tom's programs require System 7. To call Metafont from OzTeX you will need
- about 1.5Mb of free memory (after OzTeX has started). To call dvips requires
- 1Mb of free memory, and for dvips to call Metafont then another 1.5Mb must be
- available. Of course, if you don't have access to a PostScript printer
- then you can forget about dvips.
-
- Before you can use dvips or Metafont you must carry out these steps:
-
- 1. Move the tex.config file from either the Dvips or Metafont folder and
- put it in your System's Preferences folder. Delete the other copy of
- tex.config (two copies are included in case people decide to get only
- one of the folders).
-
- 2. Edit dvips.env in the Dvips folder and change the HOME string from
- "/HD/OzTeX" to a string indicating the full path name of your OzTeX
- folder. Note the use of "/" rather than ":".
-
- 3. Edit texmf.env in the Metafont folder and change the HOME string from
- "/HD/OzTeX" to the same string used above.
-
- 4. Both .env files also contain a PASSWORD string. After you pay Tom's
- shareware fee he will send you the correct string to remove the
- reminder dialogs.
-
- 5. Like OzTeX, dvips needs to be told which fonts are PostScript fonts
- (and which ones must be downloaded to the printer). This information
- is obtained from a file called psfonts.map in the ps sub-folder of Dvips.
- I've set up psfonts.map so that it matches the list of PostScript fonts
- at the end of OzTeX's Default config file. If you use a different set of
- PostScript fonts (like BaKoMa or CM/PS) then carry out these steps:
- a. Edit psfonts.map and append (or prepend) the information I've provided
- in psfonts.BaKoMa, psfonts.CMPS, psfonts.Lucida or psfonts.MathTime,
- depending on which fonts you have.
- b. Edit dvips.env and add the full path name for the location of your Mac
- printer fonts (LWFN files) to the DVIPSHEADERS variable. For example:
- DVIPSHEADERS .:~/Dvips/ps:~/PS-files:/HD/System/Fonts
-
-
- How to print the OzTeX User Guide
- ---------------------------------
-
- (Users of OzTeX 1.8 should note that the User Guide for 1.9 is very similar.
- All page breaks are the same and only the following DVI pages have changed:
- 1, 3, 6, 7, 9, 16, 25 and 42.)
-
- 1. Start up OzTeX by double-clicking on the application. It should load
- the Default configuration file stored in the Configs folder, and an
- encoding file. If you get any warning messages about unknown folders
- or files then you've made a mistake in the above installation.
-
- 2. OzTeX is set up to print on A4 paper. If your printer uses US Letter
- paper then select "US Letter" from the Config menu.
-
- 3. Select "Page Setup..." from the File menu and check that the paper size
- and orientation are correct.
-
- 4. If you are using a StyleWriter (or any 360 dpi printer) then select
- the "StyleWriter" item in the Config menu. If you have an ImageWriter
- (or any 144 dpi printer) then select the "ImageWriter" item.
-
- 5. Select "Print DVI..." from the File menu and open ozuser.dvi in the
- LaTeX-docs folder.
-
- 6. When the print dialog box appears, select suitable options (you might
- want to reverse the page order if your printer stacks pages face up)
- and click on the Print button.
-
- Once the User Guide is printed you might like to read it!
-
-
- Important changes
- -----------------
-
- - Native PowerPC versions of OzTeX and OzTools are provided. Ditto for
- Anagrams and Tom Kiffe's programs.
-
- - All my programs now save user settings like window sizes and locations in
- a preferences file. Because the applications no longer modify themselves
- they can be run from a read-only volume.
-
- - Added support for the BaKoMa fonts created by Basil Malyshev. The BaKoMa
- package contains FREE PostScript and TrueType versions of Computer Modern.
- The TrueType fonts can be used to make OzTeX's preview much more readable.
-
- - When reading a list of PostScript fonts in a config file, OzTeX now checks
- to see if a given TFM name already exists. If it does then that entry is
- updated with the remaining information on the line, otherwise a new entry
- is added at the end of the current list. This might trip up some people
- who have relied on the fact that a config file could have the same TFM name
- listed more than once and only the FIRST entry would be used by OzTeX.
- Now the LAST entry will be used.
-
- - Fixed a bug (introduced in 1.8) that could cause clipping problems on
- non-PostScript printers.
-
- - Fixed an incompatibility problem with After Dark 3.0.
-
- For full details, select "Changes to OzTeX 1.8" from OzTeX's Help menu.
-
-
- Choosing an editor
- ------------------
-
- OzTeX does not contain an integrated text editor. Instead, Rich Siegel's
- BBEdit Lite is supplied. The BBEdit Lite folder contains the application
- and its documentation. You might prefer to use another editor.
- Pete Keleher's Alpha is a popular editor for TeX/LaTeX input files.
- I decided to distribute BBEdit Lite because it is free, much smaller
- than Alpha, and does not require System 7. Another alternative for
- Unix fans is Eric Fisher's Mac Vim.
-
- Nearly all the text files distributed with OzTeX are created by MPW
- (that's the editor I prefer to use). Note that BBEdit Lite comes with a
- small application called TextChanger which lets you change the creator of
- all text files in a folder.
-
- If you are using System 7 then one of the first things you should do
- after starting up OzTeX is select "Choose Editor" from the Edit menu.
- Use the standard file dialog to select the application you'll be using
- to edit your TeX/LaTeX input files. If the application can receive Apple
- events then OzTeX will remember its name and location for later use.
-
-
- A minimal OzTeX system
- ----------------------
-
- You might be running short of space on your hard disk, so let's consider the
- bare essentials needed for a working OzTeX system (before deleting any files
- it would be a good idea to save a backup copy):
-
- - If you won't be creating any TFM or VF files then delete OzTools.
- - TeX-docs and LaTeX-docs contain important documentation and example files,
- so don't remove any files from these folders until you've looked at them.
- - If you don't use LaTeX, delete the LaTeX sub-folder from TeX-inputs,
- as well as the Graphics, PSNFSS and Tools sub-folders.
- - Delete any format files that you don't intend using from TeX-formats.
- Don't delete TeX.pool though; it's needed by INITEX.
- - If you won't be using PostScript fonts then delete all files in the
- VF-files folder and delete the PS sub-folder in TeX-fonts.
- - The BBEdit Lite folder can be deleted if you use a different text editor.
- - Delete the Dvips folder if you don't have access to a PostScript printer,
- or you are still using System 6.
- - Delete the Metafont folder if you have a full set of TFM and PK files,
- or you are still using System 6.
-
-
- Happy OzTeXing!
