Please, folks, read the FAQ for this group before you post. For the emTeX
stuff, there is a readme which clearly explains which parts you may need.

Start with texb5.zip and dvidrv14r.zip. These should be in a directory
called something like emTeX/betatest. Try to find a machine at your site
for the other needed files (like the tfm's, .pk files, macro packages...).

dvidrv contains a laserjet driver. dvi2xx5? from Gustaf Neumann is another 
good HP driver. The main site at stuttgart for emTeX contains Rokicki's 
dvips driver (this is one of the best ps drivers, according to the experts).
There is a recent port of dvips specifically for emTeX under OS/2 2.0 at
ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.

Install from the root directory with either
  pkunzip -d filename
or
  unzip filename

The standard directories will be created. Very little modification of
ini files is required.
