Archive-name: auto/comp.os.linux/jump-4-1-version-of-tex-mf-dvips-package-available-for-ftp

The jump table version 4.1 implementations of the tex/mf/dvips package is 
available for ftp in directory pub/linux/tex-etc/Jump.4.1.version on
archsci.arch.su.oz.au (129.78.66.1). There are 4 files BUT if you have X2.0 only
three are required.

  texetc.bin.T.Z - contains the binaries linked with 4.1 jump tables. Includes
                 - tex, latex, slitex, texinfo, initex, virtex, mf, inimf, virmf,
                 - dvips, dvicopy, dvitype, pktogf, pktype, vftovp, vptovf,
                 - gftovdi, gftopk, gftype, patgen, pltotf, tftopl, pooltype,
                 - tangle, weave
  tex.lib.d.T.Z  - tex.pool and format files for tex, latex, slitex and texinfo
  mf.lib.d.T.Z   - mf.pool and base files for metafont

the fourth file is for those who do not have the X11 v2.0 libraries.

  mfnoX.T.Z      - mf, inimf, virmf, mf.pool and bases

and should be used instead of mf.lib.d.T.Z (as it includes the contents of that
file). It should be untarred after texetc.bin.T.Z so that its versions of inimf,
virmf and mf may overwrite the versions in texetc.bin.T.Z. This version of
metafont contains no X11 support.

If the files are untarred (installed) in other than the /usr/local directory
it will be necessary to set the various environment variables described in the
man pages.

FOR NEW USERS: you will also require the following files in pub/linux/tex/etc

  tex.lib.i.T.Z - support files for tex, latex etc
  mf.lib.i.T.Z  - support files for metafont
  texmf.man.T.Z - manual pages for all of the programs in texetc.bin.T.Z
  dvips.doc.T.Z - documentation for the dvips program
