README file for "fe-format dumper-cm" directory.


 See: fe-dump.doc, Dec 1992
 Documentation for "fe-format-dumper-cm"
 a directory of ascii ".tex" files
 for TeX format creation
 by L. Siebenmann.


 Posting: matups.matups.fr  [192.54.146.4]


     You should normally take all files from the matups.matups.fr
directory as they they depend on one another.  For this you should
launch ftp from within an empty directory at your local site and use
the command:

   mget *

In truth, you can be more selective if you are interested in a single
format; see MINIMIZING FILE TRANSFERS below.

     Beware: Files of the same name from a similar  but distinct
directory such as fe-format-dumper-cm may be quite different.

    This directory contains the assembled 7-bit ascii ".tex" tools
necessary to create French-English versions of the major formats
Plain, LaTeX, AmSTeX and that use (possibly extended) cm fonts and
exploit the mechanisms HyAcc-CM or CeasarCM to facilitate
hyphenation.

    Then read the instructions in fe-dump.doc.

    The files required in this directory are:

-tex-me.tex
ams-act.tex
caesarcm.tex
dumperfr.pub
fe-ams.dmp
fe-amslcd.tex
fe-dump.doc
fe-lams.dmp
fe-latex.dmp
fe-plain.dmp
fe-punct.tex
fr-us.tex
fr8hyph.ck
fr8hyph.src
gllmts.tex
h-plain.dmp
hy-mstr.cm
hy-prep.tex
HyAcc-CM.tex
hyphen.tex
lcd89.tex
lhyphen.tex
README.ndx
          
These files collaborate intimately with one another; it is vital to
keep them all "together".  

     There may also be soma extra files, possibly in a subdirectory; 
they are not essential for the main formats.

     You will also need to put into your default TeX directory the
standard versions of format files from  ftp labrea.stanford.edu
[36.8.0.47], notably
     
     plain.tex                                  for Plain format
     lplain.tex, lfonts.tex, latex.tex      for LaTeX
     amstex.tex                                 for AmSTeX
          with possibly   amsppt.sty, amssym.def, amssym.tex
     amstexl.tex and lamstex.tex   for LamsTeX

For lamstex, good sources are saturn.hrz.tu-chemnitz.de
[128.83.138.20] and math.princeton.edu [128.112.128.157] The
documentation fe-dump.doc will tell you about necessary font ".tfm"
files.

     If you propose to use partially extended cm fonts (and hence
CaesarCM to manage them), then the .tfm files for the extended cm
fonts will have to be installed before format compilation, as
indicated in CaesarCM.doc.


MINIMIZING FILE TRANSFERS

       Many sites are short on disk space.  Although
fe-format-dumper-cm uses more files than strictly necessary, the
total disk space needed can be made exceedingly small.

 (1) If you are interested in Plain TeX only then the following
ftp commands will fetch all the files you could possibly want:

mget  caesarcm.tex  dumperfr.pub fe-dump.doc  fe-plain.dmp
mget  fe-punct.tex fr-us.tex  fr8hyph.tex
mget  gllmts.tex  h-plain.dmp  hy-mstr.cm  hy-prep.tex
mget  HyAcc-CM.tex  README.ndx

 (2) For AmSTeX add to the above

mget *ams*

rejecting (if you are asked) the files

   fe-lams.dmp 
   lamstex.tex and 
   amstexl.tex

(unless you want LamSTeX also).

 (3) For LaTeX, use 

mget *

but reject files containing the string  ams.
