This is the README for the source distribution (LaTeX2e) of the "Inside
LessTif" book. It DOES NOT contain the P*stScr*pt files ready for printing.
You'll need the following software if you want to process the LaTeX sources:

  - LaTeX 2e (LaTeX 2.09 won't work).

  - ghostscript - if you want to preview the .dvi file. You'll need
    this or you won't see the figures in the xdvi previewer. If you
    have ghostscript 4.01 or 4.02 then upgrade to 4.03 first, because
    ghostscript 4.01/4.02 can't draw arcs.

  - dvipsk - for converting .dvi to .ps.

  - P*stScr*pt fonts - Times, Helvetica and Courier if you want to
    preview the .dvi file or you want to print the .ps file in
    high quality on a non-PS capable printer.
    NOTE: If you have ghostscript 4.03 then you can use the high quality
    P*stScr*pt fonts which are included in the ghostscript package.

  - xfig - for manipulating or creating figures.

  - awk - this one is needed to correct errors in the .eps files generated
    by the fig2dev translator, which translates .fig files into .eps files.

As this is a multi-national project, different papersizes (well, two: a4 and
letter) are supported. In addition "Inside LessTif" can be formatted for
single-sided or double-sided printing. Because double-sided printing is also
supported for printers capable of single-sided printing, we end up with
eight different .ps files:

    LessTif<?><?>.ps
            |  |
            |  +-- a4   for european a4 paper size
            |      l    for u.s. letter paper size
            |
            +----- s    for single-sided printing
                   d    for double-sided printing
                   odd  for files containing odd pages
                   even for files containing even pages


To create a preview on a4 paper (single-sided) do a:
  $ make
  $ xdvi LessTifsa4.dvi
To create a preview on letter-sized paper (single-sided) enter:
  $ make LessTifsl.dvi
  $ xdvi LessTifsl.dvi

If you want to create the final .ps files, type:
  $ make all
This creates eight .ps files, ready for single-sided or double-sided
printing.

As usual, you can cleanup everything (except .eps files and .gz files):
  $ make clean
