read.me ----------------------------------------------------------------------- LJour1 1.0: LaTeX style file for journals with one column layout read-me file (c) Springer-Verlag HD ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The package comes with the following files read.me General information on the package cljour1.ini .ini file for a format file using CM fonts pljour1.ini .ini file for a format file using PS fonts flplain.tex Macro file ljour1.mac Macro file fontdef.tex Font definitions (NFSS) preload.tex Copy of preload.min (NFSS) xxxlfont.sty Copy of oldlfont.sty (NFSS) amsfont.sty Macro file defining AMS fonts amssymb.sty Style option defining AMS symbols ljour1.doc LaTeX source of the user's guide ljour1.ref ``Reference card" listing all commands available *.dem Various demo files for different journals In addition, the following files have to be present on your system: - latex.tex as of March 25, 1992 or later - lplain.tex - art10.tex - article.tex - hyphen.tex or another hyphenation file - the New Font Selection Scheme (NFSS). If you don't have this set of files, you can get it from any TeX file server or from Springer-Verlag, NTP department on request. Using LJour1 ------------ Please read the following instructions before starting to work with the macropackage. Why format files? ----------------- As our macro package requires a lot of fonts in addition to those preloaded by LaTeX, it will normally not work if used via the \documentstyle statement. It is therefore necessary to create a new so-called format file with our package. This is done by submitting a set of macro definitions to a program called initex. This program processes the definitions, the font specifications, and the original LaTeX macros and stores all of them in "compiled" form in a format file. This process does not produce any output, in the way that an ordinary run of TeX does, but speeds things up for all subsequent runs you make, using LaTeX in combination with our macros and font selection. Creating the format file ------------------------ 1. Create a directory called ljour1 and copy all files from the package except the style options into this directory. The style option file has to be transfered into a directory that TeX searches for input files. 2. Decide for which language you want to create a format file and, for a language other than English, edit the file cljour1.ini or pljour1.ini so that it includes the correct hyphenation patterns. Ask your TeXpert for the correct file name or consult the documentation of your TeX implementation. English hyphenation patterns are the default setting. 3. Make sure that all fonts required are on your hard disk. If necessary, install the NFSS and any fonts that are missing. 4. Before creating a PS format file, check and if necessary correct the names of the PS fonts in the file fontdef.tex. 5. Run initex with the file cljour1.ini or pljour1.ini. The exact syntax of this command depends on the implementation. If necessary increase the amount of font and/or main memory allocated by TeX. After initex has successfully completed its task, you will have a format file called cljour1.fmt if you requested CM fonts and pljour1.fmt if you requested PS fonts. 6. You will want to create both a CM and a PS format file, the first for previewing and the second for the final run. 7. After you have completed both format files you can remove the following files from your hard disk: pljour1.ini, cljour1.ini, ljour1.mac, flplain.tex fontdef.tex, preload.tex, xxxlfont.sty, amsfont.sty. Installing the fonts -------------------- For DOS installations you can have the program finstall (to be found on the AMS fonts diskettes only, not in the macro package itself) install the AMS fonts for you. In all other cases you must copy the files from diskettes into the appropriate directories yourself. Do not forget that, in general, the printer or screen driver must be instructed how to find the additional pixel files. Most of the drivers have a configuration file that contains the names of the fonts available to the printer. The names of these fonts have to be added to this file. Please refer to your driver manual. The names normally given to the pixel files by the installation program are \pctex\pixel\pk\.pk, where is a three-digit number indicating the size of the font. Printing the User's Guide ------------------------- Now you are ready to print the User's Guide. TeX it using your format file by issuing the command tex &cljour1 ljour1.doc Ordering the macro package from the mailserver ---------------------------------------------- This macro package is available via mailserver. To obtain a copy, send an e-mail message to svserv@vax.ntp.springer.de containing the line send /tex/latex/ljour1.zip Technical support ----------------- If you need help in using the macro packages or if you have suggestions on to how to improve them, please contact us at Springer-Verlag New Technologies/Product Development P.O.
