     LaTeX installation instructions for <TEX-IMPLEMENTATION>
 
                             <DATE>
 
 
SUMMARY
=======
 
This file contains instructions on how to install LaTeX for 
<TEX-IMPLEMENTATION>.  Before reading this file, you should read 
install.txt, which will explain how the LaTeX installation works.
 
This file describes:
 
 * How to save any old version of LaTeX.
 
<OPTIONAL>
 * How to configure LaTeX.
</OPTIONAL>
 
 * How to unpack the LaTeX distribution.
 
 * How to create the LaTeX format.
 
 * How to install the LaTeX files.
 
<OPTIONAL>
 * What to do if you have any problems.
</OPTIONAL>
 
<OPTIONAL><DESCRIPTION>
 * Name any system-specific sections, e.g. `Running LaTeX with FooTeX v 
   1.2 or older'.  These should appear as sections below!
</DESCRIPTION></OPTIONAL>
 
 
SAVING ANY OLD VERSION OF LaTeX
===============================
 
If you are currently using the old LaTeX version, 2.09, you may wish
to save it before installing the new version of LaTeX.
 
<DESCRIPTION>
   Describe how to save the old format as `latex209.fmt' and the old 
   inputs in a directory called `latex209'.  You might also describe
   how to run the new LaTeX and LaTeX 2.09 in parallel.
</DESCRIPTION>
 
<OPTIONAL>
 
CONFIGURING LATEX
=================
 
<DESCRIPTION>
   Describe any configuration which has do be done.  For example,
   LaTeX2e uses more memory than LaTeX 2.09, so you may need to tell
   users to increase one of TeX's memory parameters.
   
   If your TeX implementation requires a texsys.cfg file, you should 
   describe a sample one, and tell users to cut it out, edit it as 
   appropriate, and save it as texsys.cfg.  For example, under
   OzTeX 1.5, an appropriate example texsys.cfg file would be:
   
      \def\@currdir{:}
      \def\input@path{%
         {Hard-Disk:TeX:My-inputs}%
         {Hard-Disk:TeX:TeX-inputs}%
      }
      
   See dircheck.dtx and texpert.txt for more details about texsys.cfg.
</DESCRIPTION>
 
</OPTIONAL>
 
UNPACKING THE DISTRIBUTION
==========================
 
<DESCRIPTION>
   Describe how to run iniTeX on unpack.ins.  This will not generate
   a format file. 
</DESCRIPTION>
 
 
CREATING THE LaTeX FORMAT
=========================
 
<DESCRIPTION>
   Describe how to run iniTeX on latex.ltx.  This will generate the
   format file latex.fmt so you should tell users to install this file
   and make it available to the system.  You may need to include some
   other system-specific instructions, e.g. editing CONFIG files,
   writing shell scripts or command files.  You may also want to show
   a sample texsys.cfg file.
</DESCRIPTION>
 
 
PUTTING THE FILES WHERE LaTeX CAN READ THEM
===========================================
 
<DESCRIPTION>
   Describe how to move the following files into a LaTeX inputs
   directory:
 
      latexbug.tex testpage.tex docstrip.tex.
      *.cls *.clo *.sty *.fd *.def *.cfg
      
   and put *.ist in a MakeIndex inputs directory.
</DESCRIPTION>
 
 
CHECKING THAT THE INSTALLATION WORKED
=====================================
 
<DESCRIPTION>
   Describe how to run LaTeX (yes, some users may not have run LaTeX 
   before!) on ltxcheck.tex.  Say that it's going to produce some `OK' 
   messages, and perhaps some `BAD' warnings.
</DESCRIPTION>
 
<OPTIONAL>
 
PROBLEMS
========
 
<DESCRIPTION>
   Describe any problems users may come across in this TeX 
   implementation, and clues on how to cure them!  Try copying the
   style of the `PROBLEMS' section in install.txt.
</DESCRIPTION>
 
If you have any other problems with the LaTeX installation, see the 
`PROBLEMS' section in install.txt.
 
</OPTIONAL>
 
 
<OPTIONAL><DESCRIPTION>
 
   SYSTEM-SPECIFIC SECTIONS
   ========================
 
   Put any other system-specific material here, e.g. `How to install 
   LaTeX with versions of FooTeX older than 1.2'.
