Quick description of contents:

README.test   : the file you are reading.

french.tst    : this file has to be converted to 8-bit; this is
                the bi-lingual torture test basic file used to compose the
                following documents:
frenchlb.tex  : a french LaTeX book (to be compared at printing level
                                      with frenchrf.dvi),
babellb.tex   : the same, but french loaded by Babel, check warning in it.
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:
mybabel.sty   : a babel 3.4f style with few mods to allow french.sty to
                be loaded. Should be removed in next release.
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)
frenchrf.log  : the log file produced by LaTeX when running on frenchlb.

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
   (and compare also the .log files).
5- Go back to the main directory.

Optional tests are provided, look at the files.
