VTeX/2 is a TeX program for OS/2 that generates PDF or PostScript output immediately from the TeX source file.

VTeX/2 comes with a comprehensive LaTeX system, including many additional fonts and macro packages, as well as the Bibtex and Makeindex programs.

A basic plain TeX system is provided, too.

Once installed and configured your LaTeX system on OS/2, you are free to integrate your tools with many other editors and tools available for OS/2!

LaTeX is a software open source and freeware, available under LPPL license (The LaTeX Project Public License).

This software is distributed as compressed package. You have to download and manually install it; if prerequisites are required, you will have to manually install them too.

Manual installation

Program is distributed as ZIP package: download to temporary directory and unpack to destination folder. See below for download link(s).

Quick installation:

  • Any existent version of VTeX _prior_ to 7.10 must be deleted.
  • Put the installation program vtexinst.cmd and all required ZIP files in a temporary directory.
  • Go to the above directory; then start the installation program vtexinst.
  • Reboot and run makevlatex to create the LaTeX format file.
  • Check installation running vlatex ltxcheck from \texmf\source\latex\base dir.

For more detailed instructions see readme-os2.eng file.

You can install the prerequisites with rpm running the following string in a command line:

yum install emxrt

============================================================ Installation instructions for VTeX/Free 8.44.2 on OS/2 ( = VTeX/2 8.44b) ============================================================ 2005-02-11 Walter Schmidt Contents -------- What is VTeX/2? Prerequisites Installing VTeX/2 over emTeX/TDS Required files Installing VTeX/2 What to do, if the installation fails ? Installing the Adobe Euro fonts Creating the LaTeX format file Creating the plain TeX format file Documentation Using the EPM TeX Front End with VTeX/2 Support Legal stuff What is VTeX/2 ? ---------------- VTeX/2 is an eTeX program for OS/2 Warp to generate PDF or PostScript output immediately from the TeX source file. It comes with a basic LaTeX system, including many additional packages and fonts, as well as the Bibtex and Makeindex programs. Plain TeX is also included. In contrast to traditional TeX systems, no intermediate DVI files need to be generated, no "dvi driver programs" are required, and there is no need to take care of their -- sometimes fussy -- setup. In contrast to pdfTeX, VTeX includes a full PostScript interpreter, so that inclusion of EPS images as well as inline PostScript programming, i.e. PSTricks, psfrag etc. are fully supported, The common PostScript and PDF viewers GSView and Adobe Reader can be used for (pre)viewing and printing. Output files from VTeX are immediately suitable for public distribution, e.g., over the WWW, since PostScript and PDF are standardized document formats -- as opposed to the TeX-specific DVI format. The VTeX engine supports the eTeX extensions. VTeX/2 can either be installed as a standalone LaTeX system or on top of an existing emTeX/TDS system, version 0.56. Prerequisites ------------- * VTeX/2 requires Warp 3 or better, and at least 16Mb of physical memory. * You should have installed Ghostscript, so as to provide a PostScript and PDF reader. * It is highly recommended to provide also Acrobat Reader, because this is the "canonical" PDF reader, and because certain hypertext features of the PDF format are not supported by Ghostscript. * The VTeX/2 is to be installed on a HPFS drive, because it will make use of long file names. The complete TeX system will require about 80MB of disk space. | The installation program requires the default OS/2 command | shell CMD.EXE, i.e. there is absolutely no guarantee, that | it works with any alternative shell such as 4OS2. Installing VTeX/2 over emTeX/TDS -------------------------------- VTeX/2 can be installed as a stand-alone TeX system or "on top" of an existing emTeX/TDS, provided that you have got the latest emTeX7DS version 0.56. If you install VTeX/2 on the same drive as an existing emTeX/TDS, they will share the same TeX directory tree, thus saving lots of disk space. Also installing of VTeX will update many components of your emTeX system. If you keep VTeX and emTeX on different drives, they will be completely independent. | After installing VTeX over emTeX/TDS 0.56, you _must_ | re-make the emTeX format files. | | Furthermore, you _must_ change the environment variable | TEXCONFIG so as to comply with the latest TDS | specifications: | | TEXCONFIG=C:\TEXMF\DVIPS!!;C:\TEXMF\FONTS\MAP\DVIPS;C:\TEXMF\FONTS\ENC\DVIPS | | (Replace "C:" with the letter of the volume where you have | actually installed emTeX.) Installing VTeX/2 over emTeX/TDS will update the font map files psfonts.map and cmfonts.map, so that dvips can use the additional Type1 fonts that come with VTeX -- except for the EC/TC and the Hebrew fonts of the ArabTeX system, which work with VTeX only. Required files -------------- vtexinst.cmd (installation program) vtex2-8442.zip vtex-base-8442.zip vtex-base2-8442.zip vtex-special-8442.zip vtex-fonts-8442.zip vtex-fonts2.zip vtex-doc-8422.zip vtex-cbfonts.zip (optional) vtex-sem.zip (optional) vtex-gex.zip (optional) vtex-koma.zip (optional) Remarks: vtex-gex.zip is unchanged since v7.320. vtex-fonts2.zip is unchanged since v7.53. You need not download them once again, if you have them already. vtex-cbfonts.zip contains the Greek Computer Modren fonts, aka "CB fonts". Omit this archive, if you do not intend to use them. vtex-gex.zip includes the documentation of VTeX's built-in PostScript interpreter; omit this file, if you want. The archive vtex-koma.zip includes the "KOMA-Script" document classes for use with LaTeX. In case you have already installed these document classes yourself, or if you don't intend to use them, omit this archive. The archive vtex-sem.zip includes the LaTeX packages seminar and prosper; you need not install it, unless you actually want to use these packages. Optional files can be installed later, by simply unpacking the archives in the root directory of the drive where VTeX/2 is installed. Installing VTeX/2 ----------------- (0) Any existent version of VTeX _prior_ to 7.10 must be deleted manually. Later versions can be updated automatically. (1) Put the installation program vtexinst.cmd and all required ZIP files (see above) into a temporary directory. The contents of this directory can be removed, once the installation is completed. (2) Go to the above directory; then start the installation program "vtexinst". (Note that vtexinst CANNOT be executed from a different directory!) When the program asks you, for the version of VTeX/2 to install, enter: 8.44.2 You will also be asked for the drive where VTeX is to be installed or updated. It will be installed in the directories \vtex and \texmf of that drive. Note that the configuration program will update various configuration files: \texmf\vtex\config\hyphen.cfg \texmf\vtex\config\plain.cfg \vtex\bin\vtex.ini (*) \texmf\vtex\config\ps.fm (*) \texmf\vtex\config\pdf.fm (*) The files marked by (*) are updated only if your previous version of VTeX was < 8.44. Existing configuration files are always backed up, with the extension ".sav" appended to the original name. If you have customized them, don't forget to check your changes against the updated instances! | If you have previously installed the "CB fonts" package | from <http://home.vr-web.de/cb4vtex>, you must delete the | record for cb.ali from the .fm files now (unless the files | are updated, enyway.) | Rationale: Records for the CB fonts are now part of the | default configuration, see the file cm.ali. (3) VTeX/2 requires the following settings in the system configuration file config.sys of OS/2: PATH must include <drive>:\VTEX\BIN LIBPATH must include <drive>:\VTEX\DLL (Replace <drive> with the letter of the drive, where VTeX/2 is actually installed.) The installaton program can modify config.sys appropriately; however, it will _not_ do so without asking you before, and you may chose to edit config.sys manually. | Do _not_ forget to reboot OS/2, after any changes to | config.sys have been made! What to do, if the installation fails ? --------------------------------------- The installation program should tell you about the reason of the error; just read what it writes to the screen. Maybe it is something you can fix, e.g., one of the required files might be missing. If you don't understand the message at all, or if the reason of the failure seems to be outside your responsibility, you may ask me for help: The installation program will generate a transcript file named vtexinst.log. Please, send this file, together with a verbal description of the problem to <vtexfree(at)gmx.net> Creating the LaTeX format file ------------------------------ Open an OS/2 comand line in an arbitrary directory and execute the following command: makevlatex If there are any error messages, you should check the log file, which is created in the directory \vtex\fmt. Now you should check, whether the installation works: Run the file ltxcheck.tex through LaTeX, thus making sure that the installation works. The file resides in the directory \texmf\source\latex\base. Switch to this directory cd \texmf\source\latex\base and execute the following command: vlatex ltxcheck This will produce a number of messages, each of which should be "OK". Creating the plain TeX format file ---------------------------------- Omit this step, if you don't know what "plain TeX" is! Open an OS/2 comand line in an arbitrary working directory and execute the following command: makevplain If thee are any error messages, you should check the log file, which is created in the directory \vtex\fmt. Documentation ------------- See the files in the directory texmf\doc\vtex: local.eng Preliminary LaTeX Local Guide (READ THIS FIRST!) plain.eng plain TeX Local Guide (ignore it, if you don't know what "plain TeX" is) vtex.pdf The VTeX/Free manual etex_man.pdf eTeX manual gex.pdf GeX Manual mm_man.pdf How to use MM fonts with VTeX forms.pdf How to use PDF forms from TeX animgif.pdf How to include animated GIFs into PDF documents examples\* Sample documents The sample file tryanim.tex and part of the examples in the document animgif.pdf may not work with Acrobat Reader 5 or later, due to the "features" of the latest Acrobat. They do, however, work with Acrobat 4 and (almost) with Acrobat Reader 3 on OS/2. Using the EPM TeX Front End with VTeX/2 --------------------------------------- The EPM TeX Front End is a powerful integrated TeX environment, based on the OS/2 editor EPM; see <ftp://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/os2/epmtfe/> In conjunction with VTeX/2 v8.44 it is highly recommended to use the latest version 4.x of the TeX Front End! Support ------- The NTG hosts a mailing list that can be used both to ask questions and to report bugs in the software and/or installation. The list has a web interface for subscribing, unsubscribing, accessing the archives etc: <http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-vtex> Legal stuff ----------- MicroPress and VTeX are trademarks of MicroPress, Inc.
