\bigskip

\fbox{\bf PURPOSE:} \\
\bigskip

MiKitrans operates on text files having extensions of following types: \\
\begin{verbatim}
1: .DN   Franc Velthuis type text files saved at:
     C:\LocalMiKTeX 2.6\doc\dn directory. 
2: .IPS   Avinash Chopde type text files saved at:
    C:\LocalMiKTeX 2.6\doc\ips directory.
3: .ITX  Avinash Chopde type text files saved at:
    C:\LocalMiKTeX 2.6\doc\itx directory. 
4: .TEX text files for LATEX operator saved at:
    C:\LocalMiKTeX 2.6\doc\latex directory. 
5: .TEX text files for TEX operator saved at:
    C:\LocalMiKTeX 2.6\doc\tex directory. 
6: .MPX mathsPIC type .m files saved at:
    C:\LocalMiKTeX 2.6\doc\MyPICS directory.
7: .TXT simple text files specially prepared for tex/latex saved at:
    C:\LocalMiKTeX 2.6\doc\txt directory.
\end{verbatim}
\bigskip

\fbox{\bf Preparing document for MiKitrans}\\
\bigskip

The best way to prepare your own files for these directories is to view the
files saved in the above directories and learn the way in which the files are
prepared and saved. Any text editor such as Microsoft EDIT, NOTEPAD,
Itranslator2000 will do for this purpose. \\

Just go to any of the above sub directory in DOS Window START
$\Longrightarrow $ RUN $ \Longrightarrow $  cmd  and ENTER  and type: \\
show filename.ext \\
where filename is the desired file name and ext is the available extension in
that directory.\\
Unfortunately show.exe does not work with filenames with more than eight
characters. In such cases use notepad, edit  or other editors which can open
such long name files and handle files having long names.
\bigskip

\fbox{\bf LIST BOXES} \\
\bigskip

MiKitrans has two list boxes. The first one is ACTION list box. It lists
available actions. There are following actions you can take. \\
\bigskip

\fbox{\bf ACTION LIST BOX} \\
\bigskip
1. SHOW\_ DN to see \textit{filename.dn} type files \\
2. SHOW\_ IPS to see \textit{filename.ips} type files \\
3. SHOW\_ ITX to see \textit{filename.itx} type files \\
4. SHOW\_ LATEX to see \textit{filename.tex} type files \\
5. SHOW\_ TEX to see \textit{filename.tex} files \\
6. SHOW\_ MyPICS to see \textit{filename.pix} type files \\
7. SHOW\_ TXT to see \textit{filename.txt} type files \\
8. TXT2HTML to convert \textit{filename.txt} to \textit{filename.html} or \textit{filename.doc}\\
9. TXT2BENGALI to convert \textit{filename.txt} to Bengali html or word document \\
10. TXT2GUJ to convert \textit{filename.txt} to Gujarathi html or word document \\
11. TXT2ROMAN  to convert \textit{filename.txt} to Roman csx html or word document \\
12. TXT2TAMIL  to convert \textit{filename.txt} to Tamil html or word document \\
\bigskip

\fbox{\bf FILE LIST BOX} \\
\bigskip

 The second is the File list box. It lists the names of the files on which
 the selected ACTION from the ACTION list box can be taken. Highlight and
 select any one of the ACTIONs first to see which FILES are available for
 that ACTION. \\
 \bigskip

 Select any one of the files by highlighting it and click. When you click on
 RUN, the desired ACTION will be taken on your selected FILE and you will come
 to a DOS window showing the available viewers for the files. Simply select
 one of the viewers to see your file. \\
 \bigskip

 PLEASE NOTE that on some .DN files, the processor will stop and will inform
 you that there is some problem such as: "Undefined Control Sequence" and
 stop for your input. Simply type "r" and hit ENTER to continue with NON
 STOP MODE. This will allow the processor to try LATEX first, and if
 unsucessful, to try TEX processor. \\
 \newpage

\fbox{\bf FILE VIEWERS} \\
\bigskip

There five types of viewers available for you to view the selected file. \\
\bigskip

1. Ghostview (gsview32) \\
2. Acrobat Reader (Adobe) \\
3. YAP (MiKTeX 2.6 viewer) \\
4. Netscape or Internet Explorer to view html \\
5. Word for Windows to view converted \textit{filename.txt} \\
\bigskip

MiKitrans uses a bat file mikview.bat to invoke any of the above listed
viewers and use their STANDARD PATHS. You may have to edit the mikview.bat
file if you are not using the standard paths and save the file with your own special paths. \\
\bigskip

\fbox{\bf MiKitrans Operation} \\
\bigskip

When you click on RUN, the desired action will be taken on your selected file
and you will come to a DOS window showing the available viewers for the files.
Simply select one of the viewers to see your file. \\
PLEASE NOTE that on some .DN files, the processor will stop and will inform
you that there is some problem such as: Undefined Control Sequence, and
prompt you to enter something with a question mark. Simply type "r" and hit
ENTER to continue with NON STOP MODE. This will allow the processor to try
LATEX first, and if unsuccessful, to try TEX processor. \\

MiKitrans first copies your selected file for action in the directory
c:\textbackslash{tmp} as out.ext where ext is the extension of the file
selected. out.tex, out.dvi, out.log, out.ps, out.pdf etc. are the output
filenames. The files will be overwritten again and again every time you run
MiKitrans. When you are happy with the output file, you should rename the
file to different name and save it somewhere else for further use. Each of
the available viewers have feature to save the output as any other name.\\
\bigskip

MiKitrans uses a bat file mikview.bat to invoke the Ghostview, Acrobat Reader
or the YAP viewer available at their standard PATHS. You may have to EDIT the
mikview.bat file if you are not using the standard paths and save the file
with your own special paths. \\
\newpage

\fbox{\bf Deleting Table of Content (TOC)} \\
\bigskip

If you are having a TOC (Table Of Contents) for your TEX/LATEX documents, you
will have to click on "Delete Table of Contents" key of MiKitrans to clear
any previously saved TOC file in c:\textbackslash{tmp} directory. The
MiKitrans will create a new TOC file for you. This requires running the
MiKitrans ACTION twice on your file. The second time you will see your table
of contents. \\
\bigskip


\fbox{\bf FILENAME.TXT} \\
\bigskip

Please note that the txt files saved in c:\textbackslash{LocalMiKTeX 2.6}
\textbackslash{doc}\textbackslash{txt} directory are special text files for
MiKitrans which always start with Itrans for Devanagari script with two column
output. If you do not want Devanagari output you must put \#\# before you
begin the document. If you do not want two column output  you must also place
the directive \textbackslash{onecolumn} before start. \\
If you are using Devanagari script for your document, you must end the
document with \#\#  before you save your document.  You can use the switch
\#\# to switch between Itrans for Devanagari and English script but at the end
you must end in English.\\
\bigskip

\fbox{\bf MiKitrans Installation}\\
\bigskip

\bf{THIS INSTALLATION IS FOR WINDOWS XP AND HAS NOT BEEN TESTED ON ANY OTHER
SYSTEMS.}\\


First of all, MiKTeX 2.6 has to be previously installed on your system.

MiKTeX 2.6 is installed at C:\textbackslash{Program Files}\textbackslash{MiKTeX 2.6}
directory. \\
MiKMod.zip is a self extracting zip file which must be installed at the
root c drive. \\
This will allow following additions to MiKTeX 2.6 \\
\begin{verbatim}

        1. Installation of modified Itrans 5.3 package at C:\itrans53
           directory.
        2. Addition of C:\LocalMiKTeX 2.6 directory .
        3. Additions of MiKitrans.exe, MiKView.bat, show.com, devnag.exe, 
           mathspic.exe, get.com, color.com and clean.com to the bin
           sub-directory of MiKTeX 2.6
        4. Change Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS\Start Menu
           \Programs\MiKTeX 2.6 folder to add MiKitrans and additional
           Latex help links. IF you don't have the links at above location,
           move the links to the place where you have your links for MiKTeX 2.6

Once the modifications are installed, you will need to go to:
\end{verbatim}
START $ \Longrightarrow $ PROGRAMS $ \Longrightarrow $ MiKTeX 2.6
$ \Longrightarrow $ SETTINGS and add: \\
C:\textbackslash{LocalMiKTeX 2.6} and C:\textbackslash{itrans53}\textbackslash{lib}
to the roots, Update Formats and Refresh FNDB  \\
This will complete the additions of MiKitrans to your system.\\

There are some files in this package to test MiKitrans. Try them, examine
them and have fun with it.  The old devnac files of the Itrans package cannot
be processed with MiKTeX 2.6 for some reason but have no problems with
MiKTeX 2.3 package.
