What were you trying to do?
Examine LaTeX documentation on-line
****** (SIPB - Substitute /usr/sipb for /usr/athena in everything below) *****
What's wrong:
/usr/athena/lib/tex/macros/local.gid has incorrect information. It
says:
HOW TO RUN LaTeX AT SRC
24 September 1985
To run LaTeX on the file named foo.tex type:
latex foo
This produces an output file named foo.dvi .
To print file foo.dvi on the Imagen printer, which is located on the
third floor near Jane's desk, type the following command:
iptex foo.dvi
What should have happened:
It should read:
HOW TO RUN LaTeX At PROJECT ATHENA
To run LaTeX on the file named foo.tex type:
latex foo
This produces an output file named foo.dvi .
To print file foo.dvi on your favorite PostScript printer, type the
following command (inserting the appropriate printername):
dvi2ps -r foo.dvi | lpr -Pprintername
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
The file /usr/athena/lib/tex/macros/small.tex refers to this file, but
with the wrong pathname. It should refer to
/usr/athena/lib/tex/macros/local.gid, but only if the above is fixed!
