================ How to install greektex under DOS ================== You may already have (a recent version of) pkunzip, if not copy it in some directory on the DOS path. Note: if you have a previous version of greektex installed at the same places then invoke the pkunzip program with the -o parameter, for example instead of typing: "pkunzip gedos" issue the command "pkunzip -o gedos". 1. =========================== Go to some directory in the DOS path and copy into it the file gedos.zip. Type: pkunzip gedos This will unpack the programs gr.com, grx.com, vgagr.com, vgagrx.com, instgr.com which implement the dual keyboard system. You may not need to do this step if you have a dual keyboard system with which you are happy and you do not plan to process texts in polytoniko. (Our dual keyboard system has some advantages for the monotoniko also, see greektex.doc.) At this point, you should activate the dual keyboard system, so you can read files with Greek input. Type: grx vgagrx To remove the classical Greek from the display system, just type vgagr 2. =========================== Go to some directory where you keep document files and copy into it the file gedocs.zip. Type: pkunzip gedocs This will unpack the files: greektex.doc, greekdrv.doc. If you are not familiar with the dual keyboard system, you may want to take a look at greekdrv.doc now. 3. ============================ Go to the directory where your TeX looks for inputs, which contains plain.tex, lplain.tex, latex.tex and the various .sty files for LaTeX. Copy the file geinputs.zip to this directory and type: pkunzip geinputs This will unpack the files: geplain.tex, gehyphen.gr, geletcat.gr, geabbr.gr gehyphen.tex, geletcat.tex, geabbr.tex gelplain.tex, gelfonts.tex geamsla.tex, gelfonts.new, gefontdf.ori gegreek.sty, gegreek.gr 4. ============================ Go to the directory where your TeX looks for tfm files, e.g. cmr10.tfm should be there. Copy the file getfm.zip to this directory and type: pkunzip cltfm 5. ============================ Go to the directory where your dvi driver looks for 300 DPI pk files. In the PC this directory should have in it cmr10.pk, cmbx10.pk, etc. Copy the file gepk.zip to this directory and type: pkunzip clpk 6. ============================ CAUTION: For the next and most basic installation step, we are assuming that your main TeX program is called tex.exe and the corresponding IniTeX program is called initex.exe. (Specifically for emtex, see the comment below.) Go to the directory where your TeX looks for format files, plain.fmt, lplain.fmt should be there. (The file of TeX strings tex.poo is also there.) Type initex geplain \dump initex gelplain \dump If you have the necessary AMS fonts and macro files and you want to install a Greeklish version of AMS-LaTeX, type also: initex geamsla \dump This will produce the files geplain.fmt, gelplain.fmt and geamsla.fmt. After this procedure, to latex the file george.tex (which may have Greek text in it) you type tex &gelplain george To process george.tex in the Greek extension of plain tex, you type tex &geplain george To process george.tex in the Greek extension of AMS-LaTeX, you type tex &geamsla george (You will surely want to create batch files with friendlier names for these commands.) ************************** Note for emtex *************************** For emtex, the correct way to invoke initex (in 1994) is to type tex386 /i /8 /o gelplain \dump and accordingly for the other format files. **********************************************************************
