                 Installation instructions for teTeX        97/01/13
                 ===================================

  Please check _first_ the same file name in the LaTeX sources directory 
and _read_  the given instructions.

Distribution to intall: generic French
======================

Status
======
  teTeX is known to run correctly  with french.

General instructions
====================

  Read Bernard's documentation "ALIRE[.dvi,.ps]" (or README.x in each
directory). And follow the instructions:

1- place the french directory under texmf/tex/generic, all applications
   will see the French files.
2- run texhash (will refresh ls-R)
3- TEXINPUTS.latex = $KPSE_DOT:$TEXMFS/tex/{generic/french/inputs,latex,latex209,generic}//:$TEXMFS/tex//
4- enter french/initex and update hyphen.cfg if you want.
5- enter language.dat and update it if necessary.
6- remove access to the babel's language.dat:
   chmod 000 `kpsexpand '$TEXMF'/tex/generic/config/language.dat`
7- initex latex.ltx 
8- put latex.fmt in `kpsexpand '$TEXFORMATS'`
9- if you use contrib files, put them in good place.

Still waiting for any more specific improved comments for that TeX engine...
thanks to people who will automate that (via author's Makefile.unx).
