Quick description of contents:

README.test   : the file you are reading.

fxench.tst    : this file has to be converted to 8-bit and renamed french.tst;
                this is the bi-lingual torture test basic file used to 
                typeset the following documents:
frenchlb.tex  : a french LaTeX book (to be compared at printing level
                                      with frenchrf.dvi),
frenT1lb.tex  : the same, but with T1 font encoding forced.
babellb.tex   : the same, but french loaded by Babel
babelplb.tex  : the same, but with frenchpro option of Babel
texxetlb.tex  : the same to be run with any TeXXeT engine.
frenchab.tex  : the same with AmsLaTeX.
frenchlm.tex  : the same, loading the french style after  \documentstyle.
frenchln.tex  : the same, loading the french style before \documentstyle.
                          and testing the "poor man french style" option.
frenchlr.tex  : a french LaTeX report
frenchla.tex  : a french LaTeX article
frenchll.tex  : a french LaTeX letter (just a test)
frencht.tex   : a french TeX document
nofrench.tex  : to test that french.dmy is running ok

The previous files require:
myfigure.ps   : an EPS face (not mine) 
mygglo.ist    : the file is use with Makeindex to produce my glossary
mylist.sty    : a verbatim style
mypsfig.tex   : a version of psfig
mysmall.sty   : only given for fun and any help...
frenchlb.ind  : for those who don't have makeindex, this is the index produced.
frenchlb.gls  : for those who don't have makeindex, this is the glossary too.

For comparison after installation:
frenchrf.dvi  : the Torture test (frenchlb) document composed by the author.
                (The program makeindex was used to produce the index 
                 i.e. the .ind file and the glossary i.e. the .gls file)

For kb7to8 and kb8to7 testing:
kbto.tex      : a sample binary test file to adapt to your own keyboard.

Your "TO DO" list:
=================

1- (I hope you have already generated kb7to8 and kb8to7)
   Convert the file french.tst to 8-bit.
   Adapt kbto.tex to your keyboard and apply kb7to8 and kb8to7 on it. Check
   the outputs.
2- Ensure your TEXINPUT path pointing to the inputs directory first. 
   For LaTeX users: LaTeX frenchlb.tex 
   For TeX users:     TeX frencht.tex
3- Print the first 45 pages of frenchlb.dvi.
4- Print the first 45 pages of frenchrf.dvi and then compare the outputs
5- Go back to the main directory.

Optional tests are provided, look at the files.
