Script started on Tue Jan 28 15:08:00 2003

   This is a script showing how I am able to use a LaTeX document.
   This is on a Linux environment, but there are LaTeX programs that
   work with the MicroSoft operating systems.

   First, edit the file. I like to use the vi editor.

[mweeks@mymachine ~/temp]$ vi example.tex


   Now, use the "latex" command to change the file from text into a formatted
   document. This is a bit like compiling a program. There are several
   warnings printed the first time, so I run it a second time to make
   sure everything is OK. (It reminds me of a 2-pass assembler).

   It seems to have worked. The file "example.dvi" was generated, and
   I can view this file with the following command:

[mweeks@mymachine ~/temp]$ xdvi example


   Since it looks good, I will convert it to postscript format. Most
   printer understand postscript.
 
[mweeks@mymachine ~/temp]$ dvips example -o example.ps

[mweeks@mymachine ~/temp]$ 

  
   Now I will print it on "zorro".

[mweeks@mymachine ~/temp]$ lpr -Pzorro example.ps

[mweeks@mymachine ~/temp]$ 


   Also, if I want to convert it to Adobe's portable document file format,
   the following command does this.

[mweeks@mymachine ~/temp]$ ps2pdf example.ps example.pdf

[mweeks@mymachine ~/temp]$ exit
