The three files, TeX3.0.v1, TeX3.0.v2, and TeX3.0.v3, contain TeX 3.0 together with LaTeX, SliTeX, MetaFont, bibtex, and many other utility programs related to font production. Everything required to generate DVI files is here. (Another distribution, called TeXtools, contains dvips and makeindex for the production of book indices and Postscript print files.) The three files, when converted back to diskettes, should be installed with the SCO custom command. Assuming you have placed these on your system with the names above, do the following: 1. dd if=TeX3.0.v1 of=/dev/fd096ds15 bs=1024 This will write the file onto a diskette. Use the correct /dev/fd* to match your diskette. The diskette must be formatted prior to this step. Only 1.2MB and 1.44 MB diskettes are large enough. 2. Repeat step 1 for the files TeX3.0.v2 and TeX3.0.v3. 3. custom This will add the application to your system. The files on these diskettes are read via the tar utility. Many of the files are compressed, even though their names do not end in the traditional "Z". The tar on later versions of Xenix automatically uncompresses these files. The initialization script does it for you if you have a earlier version of Xenix. Those of you without custom or a similar installation program can still use this distribution for i386 systems. The diskettes are tar datasets set relative to the root. For example, the file /usr/local/bin/tex is ./usr/local/bin/tex in the tar dataset. The files can be installed by extracting the files while located in the root directory and logged in as root. You will have to use uncompress on any files which are compressed.
