LaTeX2eBase.README
package version: 1.9, July 1996
LaTeX2e <1995/12/01> patch level 2
SUMMARY
This Installer.app package includes the base macros and formats for
LaTeX2e. This installation does not include any of the standard LaTeX2e
packages, they are included in a separate Installer.app package named
LaTeX2ePackages.
This package does not do the entire installation. You will need to
modify TEXINPUTS to include if you are to use latex2e. For example,
in csh, issue the command (I separated the process into steps for
illustration purposes only).
setenv STDINPUTS /NextLibrary/TeX/tex/inputs
setenv LATEXINPUTS /LocalLibrary/TeX/tex/latex
setenv TEXINPUTS .:${LATEXINPUTS}:${STDINPUTS}
in cshrc.std, .cshrc, or whatever. If installing both AMSTeX and LaTeX2e,
the TEXINPUTS environment variable should be set as
setenv AMSINPUTS /LocalLibrary/TeX/tex/inputs/amstex
setenv TEXINPUTS .:${LATEXINPUTS}:${AMSINPUTS}:${STDINPUTS}
to include both the LaTeX2e and AMSTeX inputs directories.
You will also need to modify TEXFORMATS environment variable.
(for i386)
setenv LATEXFORMATS /LocalLibrary/TeX/tex/formats/little
(for m68k, hppa, sparc)
setenv LATEXFORMATS /LocalLibrary/TeX/tex/formats/big
setenv STDFORMATS /NextLibrary/TeX/tex/formats
setenv TEXFORMATS ${LATEXFORMATS}:${STDFORMATS}
