How to install PtC-TeX:

o Get my version of ptc, and install it.

o You should install the ptc-tex directory in the same directory that
  the contains subdirectories web, tex, texware, mf, mfware and etc
  containing the web sources to TeX et al.  The directories on the
  master TeX repository, labrea.stanford.edu are structured like this.

o Look through the Makefile, */Makefile and Makefile.generic.  You probably
  want to change the CDEBUGFLAGS, LDFLAGS etc settings.  (If your Make
  is good, it is enogh if you say make CDEBUGFLAGS=-O LDFLAGS=whatever
  in the ptc-tex directory.)

o If you are running Ultrix 3.1 on a VAX, don't use cc.  It is too
  buggy.  (Especially, it generates wrong code when you use unsigned
  chars.  Ptc-generated code uses unsigned char a lot.)  Get gcc, you
  won't regret it.  Or use vcc.

o Do a make in the ptc-tex directory.  This will build all the
  programs.  (Only the INIMF version of METAFONT will be built.  The
  difference between INIMF and VIRMF is not very significant.  Or is
  it?)

o Go to the tex directory and run ./run-trip.  The differences
  reported should be minimal (i.e. dates and some table size
  differences.)  You can also use dvitype on the trip.dvi output and
  compare to ../../tex/trip.typ.

o Similarily run run-trap in the mf directory.

o Do a make -n install to see what would happen, and if it looks OK,
  go ahead.

o If you have to make some changes to make ptc-tex compile on your
  machine, please tell me.  But if your compiler or machine is too
  restricted to handle big single-compilation-unit programs, don't
  bother tell me, buy a new machine :-).
