	                    INSTALLING TkTeX
	                    
TkTeX has a relatively simple installation procedure, so there doesn't
seem to be any need for fully automating it (i.e., you need to do a little
bit of simple editing of a couple files).  Here is what you need to do.

1.  First, decide on a library directory for the support files.  For the
    purposes of this install document, I'll assume that the directory will
    be /usr/local/lib/tk/tktex.
    
2.  Edit the file tktex as follows.  Near the very beginning of the file,
    the variable TKTEX(lib_dir) is defined; change the definition to
    reflect your library directory.  Also make sure that the path to
    wish in the first line of the file is correct.

3.  Edit the Makefile so that ROOT_DIR is set to the root of the library
    directory; in this example, /usr/local.  Also make sure that the other
    miscellaneous variables in the Makefile are set correctly for your
    system (the comments tell you what they should be).

4.  Type 'make install'.
    
5.  Start up tktex, and read the documentation by selecting "Help->General"
    from the menus.  This will start up xdvi and view the general help
    document.  If you do not have xdvi at your site, then preview the file
    tktex-gen.dvi with whatever you use for DVI previewing; in this document
    you will find instructions on how to write a system-wide startup file
    where you can, among other things, change the default viewer.  A
    somewhat trivial system-wide startup file has been provided; you will
    probably want to modify it for your particular system setup.
