README.1st (emTeX BETATEST DISTRIBUTION)                  VERSION: 27-Mar-1995
==============================================================================

This file lists the changes made to the betatest stuff since 20-Mar-1995.

Before installing an update of a package, you should remove the
previously installed version of that package.  See INSTALL.ENG.

It is recommended to recreate .fmt and .bas files after installing a
new version of TeX and METAFONT, respectively.


23-Mar-1995
-----------

- Replace bibtexb2.zip with bibtexb3.zip.  bibtex32.exe has been
  enlarged, min_crossref can now be set with a command line option

- New first.zip with improved INSTALL.ENG


25-Mar-1995
-----------

- IMPORTANT: texb14.zip replaces texb13.zip.  The 16-bit emTeX
  executables of texb13.zip were thoroughly broken.  The `german'
  keyword of makefmt has been renamed `German'

- mfware.zip: METAFONT modes in \emtex\mfinput\gftodvi\*.mf
  renamed for new local.mf

- latex2e.zip: LaTeX 2e distribution files moved from
  \emtex\texinput\latex2e to \emtex\dist\latex2e, `inst2e' batch file
  added.  Please delete all files from \emtex\texinput\latex2e before
  re-installing LaTeX 2e

- fontcm.zip: Some .tfm files required by LaTeX 2e were missing;
  update \emtex\mfinput\extracm\*.mf with AMSFonts 2.2, remove
  cmex9.mf from \emtex\mfinput\extracm.  This update affects the base
  fonts

- New first.zip with updated INSTALL.ENG and README.ENG


26-Mar-1995
-----------

- fontdc.zip: new TFM files (the old ones were out-dated and didn't
  match the MF files)

- pkedit.zip: pkedit and pkeditpm have been improved slightly

- mfjob11p.zip: dvidrv.mfj now uses dx.bas instead of dxbase.bas;
  dx.bas is not required for creating DC fonts (dxbase.mf will be
  loaded automatically if required); automatic generation of dcr17 now
  uses a design size of 17.28pt

- New first.zip with updated INSTALL.ENG and README.ENG


27-Mar-1995
-----------

- mfb7.zip replaces mfb6.zip.  The most important change is mf386 no
  longer requiring RSXOPT=-Ra.  You should undo `set rsxopt=-Ra'

- New base fonts using AMSFonts 2.2
