Installation
************
1. Copy the zip files and the two executables to a temporary
directory (say `c:\temp'). Change to that directory.
2. Choose a name for the destination directory, say `c:\texmf'.
3. If you are updating:
a) You may want to save some files (notably dvips/config.ps
and miktex/config/miktex.environment) before proceeding
with step 4.
b) It is strongly recommended that you remove the DC-font
source directory from the TeXMF tree, otherwise
on-the-fly generation of EC fonts may fail:
del c:\texmf\fonts\sources\public\dc\*.*
rmdir c:\texmf\fonts\sources\public\dc
4. Run `install.exe'. When prompted for the destination directory,
enter the name chosen in step 2.
This is the transcript of a typical installation process:
+------------------------------------------------------------------+
| C:\temp> install |
| Welcome to MiKTeX 1.07 Installation Utility. This program will |
| install MiKTeX 1.07 on your system. |
| |
| |
| MiKTeX 1.07 will be installed in `c:\texmf'. |
| |
| To install to this directory, press <RETURN>. |
| |
| To install to a different directory, enter the name of another |
| directory. |
| |
| You can choose not to install MiKTeX 1.07. Enter `cancel' to |
| cancel the installation. |
| |
| Destination Directory: c:\texmf |
| |
| Select optional components that you wish to install: |
| |
| MiKTeX source files ? [yes/no] no |

| Checking that the installation worked: |
| |
| 1. Invoking TeX... |
| |
| This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (MiKTeX 1.07) |
| (test.tex [1] ) |
| Output written on test.dvi (1 page, 484 bytes). |
| Transcript written on test.log. |
| |
| 2. Opening DVI file... |
| |
| Installation is complete. Please append `c:\texmf\miktex\bin' to |
| the environment variable `PATH' and reboot the system. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------+
5. Add the MiKTeX bin directory to the environment variable `PATH'.
Under Windows 95 you have to append something like
set PATH=%PATH%;c:\texmf\miktex\bin
to your `autoexec.bat'. Under Windows NT you can use Control
Panel to change the value of `PATH'.
6. Restart Windows.
Configuring dvips
-----------------
Make sure that the settings in config.ps match your printer.
