I have been trying to get a working LaTeX setup on my PC (an XT clone
with DOS 4.01, Hercules graphics, Panasonic 1124 printer). the problem
is, I haven't been able to get adequate documentation for the stuff
I've downloaded off anonymous ftp sites. so far, I've downloaded
SB-TeX v29 (from terminator, I think), a previewer called DVIEW, and
a printer driver called DVIPAN (arced in DVIEPS somewhere).

the problem is;

a) I don't know how to connect LaTeX with SB-TeX, if at all possible.

b) DVIEW looks for fonts in directories like /PXL/480, which is
   not possible in DOS. however, DVIEW does run on my box. its as
   if the file opens are still unix-mode while the code has been
   compiled on a DOS box.

c) DVIPAN wants different fonts than DVIEW.


I would appreciate an overview of installing all these sorts of tools.
also, recommendations for better programs and/or documentation
would be great.

thanx in retreat,
