SAVING ANY OLD VERSION OF LaTeX
===============================
 
If you are currently using the old LaTeX version, 2.09, you may wish
to save it before installing the new version of LaTeX.
 
Since LaTeX 2.09 was never a part of a 1.0 or higher release of NTeX
you cannot save any LaTeX 2.09. The LaTeX2e format is saved in
/usr/lib/texmf/ini/latex.fmt. If you rebuild the latex format and want
to keep the old one rename latex.fmt to latex-old.fmt or to whatever
name you like ending with .fmt in /usr/lib/texmf/ini. If you want to
use the old version of LaTeX make a symbolic link to virtex:

  ln -s /usr/bin/virtex /usr/bin/latex-old

where you have to replace latex-old with the name yoiu have choosen
(without .fmt!).
 
CONFIGURING LATEX
=================

LaTeX can be configured under NTeX with the shell script 

	/usr/lib/texmf/tools/ntm-ltx.cfg 
 
 
UNPACKING THE DISTRIBUTION
==========================

The LaTeX2e files are unpacked by running initex on latex.ltx in
/usr/lib/texmf/tex/latex/latex-base

 
CREATING THE LaTeX FORMAT
=========================

You can install LaTeX2e on you system either with ntm-ltx.cfg mentioned
above or with

initex latex.ltx
 
If you run ntm-ltx.cfg the format files are already placed to their
default position in /usr/lib/texmf/ini. If you run initex on latex
yourself move the files with the following commands to their position:

mv latex.fmt /usr/lib/texmf/ini/latex.fmt
mv latex.log /usr/lib/texmf/ini/latex.log

 
PUTTING THE FILES WHERE LaTeX CAN READ THEM
===========================================

Move the files 

      latexbug.tex testpage.tex docstrip.tex.
      *.cls *.clo *.sty *.fd *.def *.cfg
      
from /usr/lib/texmf/tex/latex/latex-base to /usr/lib/texmf/tex/latex/latex.
 
CHECKING THAT THE INSTALLATION WORKED
=====================================

To check if the installationworked run latex on ltxcheck.tex. Everything
worked when you got just `OK' messages. If you got soe `BAD' warnings
you may have to change a little more accoring to these warnings. There
were never problems with NTeX so far.

PROBLEMS
========

LaTeX2e should work with NTeX without any prboelms. If you encounter
an error or have other serious problems, comments, suggestions send me
an e-email to langebin@fermat.mathematik.uni-stuttgart.de
