This is TeXmenu version 5.0pre for NeXTSTEP Release 3.x.
This is a prerelease! Currently I don't have the time to implement all those changes and improvements my TODO list holds :-( There is a list of thing not working/missing currently in a file named MISSINGIN5.0. If you find bugs, please first consult this list, my mailbox is far too large already. I cannot promise a date for the final 5.0 release, but some day it will be finished...
Currently I read email only one time a week or two, please don't get angry when response takes some time.
My snail mail address has changed (see below), please update your address books!
Version 5.0pre includes a new licensing mechanism supporting sites much better. Upgrade fee for 3.x users is half the first time user price. Version 5.0pre is free for 4.x users. Please request your new license string from me.
IMPORTANT NOTE
TeXmenu version 5.0pre is not free! Do not remove version 2.2 until you are sure you want to register! Read about licensing and pricing in License.rtf. TeXmenu version 5.0pre requires at least NeXTSTEP version 3.0 and comes quadrupel fat.
INSTALLATION
· If you've been using TeXmenu version 2.2, 3.0 or other former versions, first un-install the old package. You'll find the old package in
/NextLibrary/{Packages,Receipts}/ThirdParty
Its name is TeXmenu.pkg. If it's not there, delete the old TeXmenu.app folder in /LocalApps or ~/Apps by hand. Another good idea is to put the folder into the recycler until you're sure version 5.0 is doing what you want it to. Make sure, that the old distribution's folder (TeXmenu.app) has vanished completely!
· To install version 5.0pre simply double click on TeXmenu.pkg. Install it either in ~/Apps or /LocalApps.
TeXmenu.pkg is compressed using gzip and will require some extra space during its conversion to standard Installer compression. If you install TeXmenu directly from floppy disk its installation might fail! Knowing this, it's better to first copy the whole package onto your hard disk¼
· Launch TeXmenu.app. Either drop your registration key onto the registration panel or run demo mode.
· If you've been using TeXmenu version 2.2 or former versions, re-parse all your projects to get the new file type identification.
DEGRADING to version 2.2
If you return to version 2.2 type
dremove TeXmenu Version
into a shell. It's a good idea to log out and in afterwards.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
· If you want to make TeXmenu's terminal permission and ownership safe (this is not required), additionally enter the following two commands as root (sources for slog are included):
chown root.tty /LocalApps/TeXmenu.app/slog
chmod 6755 /LocalApps/TeXmenu.app/slog
Replace /LocalApps by the folder you've installed TeXmenu in. For further information refer to slog's sources (see below).
Communication between TeXmenu and slog does not work with
NeXTSTEP 3.3 (and higher?) and this version. In case you rename
slog.junk to slog your system may hang when exiting.
· To use the various converters and the text formatter 'bfmt' from within Edit, add the contents of file 'pipedict.extra.<language>' to your ~/.pipedict file. Next time Edit is launched, these converters and the formatter can be found as 'User Pipes'. If you have not installed TeXmenu in /LocalApps, edit the pipedict.extra.<language> file before appending it to ~/.pipedict.
· To use LaTeX command completion in Edit, read README.editdict. The file .editdict found in this distribution is a contribution by Derek Beatty and may be redistributed freely.
· The meaning of '%s' in the spell command has changed in version 4.1! '%s' includes the project name's extension again. This step was necessary because TeXmenu supports extensions other than .tex in this release. If you did not customize your commands, TeXmenu5.0pre will adjust everything for you.
· Besides this file (README.rtf) and the application (TeXmenu.pkg) you'll find the files ANNOUNCING5.0 and a folder Src in the distribution. This folder contains public slog sources (found in the Stuart2.4 by Scott Hess) as well as various converter sources for flex (*.l). If you extend any of these converters or find any bugs, please send the changes to me. Further information on the converters (and how to translate them) can be found in the documentation...
· If you would like to use the file LoginLion.tiff as your login window enter the following command as root:
dwrite loginwindow ImageFile <your image folder>/LoginLion.tiff
Log out and type ªexitº+RETURN into the ªNameº field of the login window.
· Read about installing ispell in the FAQ of TeXmenu's documentation.
· Send any strange behavior and bug reports to me!
