This archive contains several directories. If you unpack the archive in /dd/sys/tex, then everything should end up in the right place, except for possibly the executables. Of course, the detailed installation will depend on your system. Size Directory Description ---------- -------------- ------------------------------------------ 144K ./CMDS Executables, and C source for MakeTeXPK 79K ./DVIPS DVIPS configuration and PostScript header files 171K ./FONTS/TFM TFMs for PostScript fonts 88K ./FONTS/VF Virtual Font files 188K ./INPUTS/DVIPS LaTeX styles and TeX files Total:794K Some files to be aware of: ./CMDS/MakeTeXPK.C The MakeTeXPK program is run by DVIPS whenever it can't find a font. MakeTeXPK in turn runs MetaFont, gftopk, and does any necessary housekeeping to make the font available to DVIPS. This version creates a directory in /DD/SYS/TEX/FONTS, if necessary, runs MetaFont and gftopk, and sets the attributes on the resulting files to public read. You may have to edit and re-compile this if you manage your fonts differently. ./DVIPS/config.ps This is the master configuration file. You should edit it for your specific printer and directory setup. If you have more than one printer, you can also set up config. files for each one. ./INPUTS/DVIPS/texinfo.tex This is the "TeX-info" header. The FSF developed a file format to allow one file to serve both as printed documentation and as an online hyper-text reference manual. This file allows TeX to format these files for printing. ./dvips.texi TeX-info format documentation for DVIPS. The texinfo.tex file must be in your TeX "Inputs" directory for TeX to format this. (/dd/sys/tex/inputs on my system.) Caveat: This manual contains some embedded PostScript commands that only make sense if you use DVIPS to print the file. If you print it with some other program (such as dvialw), then some of the examples will print out incorrectly. It's easy enough to re-print the three pages that are incorrect once you finish getting DVIPS set up. ./INPUTS/DVIPS/test.tex This is a test file for DVIPS. Once you think you have DVIPS set up, try this file. List the beginning of the file for instructions. The file exercises DVIPS' capabilities pretty thoroughly, so it's a good way to check your setup.
