Beginner Installation Problems...
OK... I've been building TeX for a while now. I've got it to the point
where it builds just fine... and seems to be correctly installed. I'm
now trying to print the "local guide" to my handy PostScript Printer.
Source of my pains is as follows. I do:
prtex -Pxxx -postscript -reset 4 local
(just like the file PRINTDOC file sort of says...)
and I get the following:
Usage: /home/cidsv01d/aspg/pas/bin/prtex dvifile
or /home/cidsv01d/aspg/pas/bin/prtex [-Pprinter] (must come first)
[-noheader] [-letterhead] [-legal] [-ledger] [-landscape]
[-postscript] [-impress] [-nospecial] [-reset number] [-quiet]
[-manual] [-duplex] [-copies number]
filename (- for std input)
cidsv01% prtex -Pneclas -postscript -reset 4 local

GetFontDefs(): Unresolvable fonts looking for .pk, .pdr files
So I check:
ls /home/cidsv01d/aspg/pas/share/tex82/fonts/cmc*
cmcsc10.300pk cmcsc10.tfm
Is there something else I need to ftp ?
What do I have to do to get/build these fonts ?
I have never used TeX or MetaFont before. I do not have either of their
books yet. I think I have to get Metafont to build some pk files for me.
Could some kind soul descibe the method I would use ?
