THIS RELEASE PREPARED FOR NETWORK  09/03/91

EVERYTHING UNDER THIS DIRECTORY IS EITHER A DIRECTORY
OR A SPARKED ARCHIVE.

Unpack any ARC files you find using !SparkPlug - most will
unpack into a directory of the same name (eg you should
rename LatexStyle to temp, and unpack temp to directory
LatexStyle).  Sorry if this gives you more work, but I've
finally succumbed to pressure from users for a smaller
distribution.  (I used to distribute this unpacked, on
30 floppies)

*** There seems to be a bug in the version of !SparkPlug
I have - some of the files unpack to the wrong name. ***

[If you find an archive with a file !UNPACKME in it,
don't create a subdirectory for it -- unpack it the
files into the same directory that contains the archive.
Same applies to any archive files called UNPACKME]

I'm in the process of getting the correct & official
versions of all modules from Acorn (I coughed up the $250
for a licence...) so it's possible at the moment some
programs (eg the previewer) may not run with the CLib
you have, for instance.  If this happens, you can always
recompile everything yourself -- all sources are provided.

This is a release for hackers I'm afraid; you don't get
much support but you do get lots of code :-)

Late News

07-Aug-90: Current release has a problem with cmdunh10;
the outline font file was corrupted & I've not been able
to restore it yet.  Also there is a known bug in output
of pages to draw files, to do with positioning of rules.

The previewer cannot display AMSfonts, or user-supplied
fonts.

Thanks to Paul Allen, we've re-organized the Latex
and AMSTeX style files to reflect more accurately the
way they are used in the rest of the world :-)

The standard 'by the book' files have been seperated from
the user-contributed ones: Latexstyle is (mainly) the
Lamport styles, Latexsty1/2/3 are additional styles from
other sources. Userstyle allows you to substitute your own
modified styles whilst retaining the originals.  It is
nearer the front of TeX's search path.

Ian Young has put a lot of work into the Previewer, especially
in the area of exporting to !Draw files, so that printing
via Risc Os's drivers works correctly.  Unfortunately a small
bug has been introduced which means that on a multi-synch monitor
(and possibly hi-res?) the margins are set wrongly, and a lot of
the text is missing from the display.  However, Ian's improvements
are so worthwhile that I've installed his version by default.  So if
you have problems, go into the !Preview directory, and rename !Runimage
to !Run103, and rename !Run101 to !RunImage.  This will restore the
older copy.

Late news: the margin problem only happens if you change mode
*after* the previewer has been started.  (And it doesn't appear to
be limited to the multisynch)  So if it happens to you, just quit
the previewer and restart it; no problem.  Meanwhile I'll try to
fix it...
