| 10 | This directory contains documentation on the Texinfo system and the TeX
|
|---|
| 11 | sources needed to process Texinfo sources. We recommend using the
|
|---|
| 12 | texi2dvi included in this distribution to run a Texinfo manual through
|
|---|
| 13 | TeX to produce a DVI file.
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 | The .tex files are not installed automatically because TeX installations
|
|---|
| 16 | vary so widely. Installing them in the wrong place would give a false
|
|---|
| 17 | sense of security. So, you should simply cp *.tex to the appropriate
|
|---|
| 18 | place. If your installation follows the TeX Directory Structure
|
|---|
| 19 | standard (http://tug.org/tds/), this will be the directory
|
|---|
| 20 | TEXMF/tex/texinfo/ for texinfo.tex, TEXMF/tex/generic/dvips/ for epsf.tex,
|
|---|
| 21 | and TEXMF/pdftex/plain/misc for pdfcolor.tex. If you use the default
|
|---|
| 22 | installation paths, TEXMF will be /usr/local/share/texmf. On systems
|
|---|
| 23 | with TeX preinstalled, as most GNU/Linux distributions offer, TEXMF
|
|---|
| 24 | will often be something like /usr/share/texmf.
|
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 | It is also possible to put these .tex files in a `local' place instead
|
|---|
| 27 | of overwriting existing ones, but this is more complicated. See your TeX
|
|---|
| 28 | documentation in general and the texmf.cnf file in particular for information.
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 | If you add files to your TeX installations, not just replace existing
|
|---|
| 31 | ones, you very likely have to update your ls-R file; do this with the
|
|---|
| 32 | mktexlsr command. In older versions, this was named MakeTeXls-R.
|
|---|
| 33 |
|
|---|
| 34 | You can get the latest texinfo.tex from
|
|---|
| 35 | ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo.tex (and all GNU mirrors)
|
|---|
| 36 | ftp://tug.org/tex/texinfo.tex (and all CTAN mirrors)
|
|---|
| 37 | or on the FSF machines in /home/gd/gnu/doc/texinfo.tex.
|
|---|
| 38 | If you have problems with the version in this distribution, please check
|
|---|
| 39 | for a newer version.
|
|---|
| 40 |
|
|---|
| 41 | epsf.tex comes with dvips distributions, and you may already have it
|
|---|
| 42 | installed. The version here is functionally identical but slightly
|
|---|
| 43 | nicer than the one in dvips574. The changes have been sent to the
|
|---|
| 44 | epsf.tex maintainer.
