Hi,

I just received PCTeX software, and found a problem.  In the accopnying
"PC TeX Installation guide" page O-19 -- O -21, it is described how to
install AM fonts as well as CM fonts.  So I tried

C>a:install cm am

and mkdir'ed \pctex\amfmts and made a file  'am.cfg' in \pctex.
However, when I texed plain and lplain as

C\pctex>tex plain/I /C=am.cfg

C\PCTEX>tex lplain/I /C=am.cfg

I got error message like

"I cannot find \pctex\texinput\aminput\hyphen.tex"

So I copied hyphen.tex from \pctex\texinput to \pctex\texinput\aminput.
However, the resulting \pctex\amfmts\plain.fmt and \pctex\amfmts\lplain.fmt
are not AM font versions which I want to have optionally.

What's wrong?  Am I messing up or is the installation guide wrong?

Well there is a slight chance that my Univ.'s CSO staff made a mistake
while making a distribution copy of 'install.bat'.(It is a site-lisenced
software.)

If you had a same experience, please reply to me.  Any comment will
be appreciated.
Thank you
