You may need to select downloading explicitly by using a menu of
your browser for some of the files (e.g. the jar archives and the
shell script). Please check the file sizes for the
jar archives after download before trying to use them.
All .zip archives with text files are created with
CR/LF lineend markers. *n*x users may wish to use an option to
change that on extraction.
Things you need in any case:
-
The style files (a zip
archive, prepared 12 Sep 2002) for formatting.
If you just need one of the files pick it from here:
Put these style files into your (local) LaTeX tree and update
the contents cache, if necessary (web2c: mktexlsr ).
Note for people who have installed the package
pdfslide : this package is likely to contain an
outdated version of pause.sty . You should
remove that one.
Another note: the file pdfslide.sty quoted in the
report has been renamed to pp4slide.sty to avoid
a name conflict with the abovementioned other package.
pp4slide.sty is just meant as an example
and not recommended for general use. There are
some strange effects caused by the somewhat unsupported
coloring options in foils.cls .
- The complete post processor software in
pp4p.jar a jar archive (no
need to unpack it!) version 0.9.4 (prepared 13 Nov 2002,
285312 bytes).
Depending on your operating system you need a batch file or
script to call the post processor. These scripts require some
customization to make sure they find the jar file.
- for Unix: a shell script
ppower4 to run the software
under Unix. It needs to be modified to know the
location of your copy of the pp4p.jar
file.
- for Windows: a batch file
ppower4.bat to run the
software under Win32. It also needs to be modified
to know the location of your copy of the
pp4p.jar file and the Java runtime
environment.
Thanks to Christophe
Declercq for providing this.
- for Mac: There is an applescript for easy
usage of ppower4 on Mac OS X to be used with the
TeX distribution by Gerben Wierda (it may be
necessary to update the post processor and the style
files of that distribution). Thanks to Maarten Sneep for
this contribution!
If someone can supply a script for other
environments and is willing to share it, I can
include it here.
Additional items:
- the sources of the examples (in German or
English, both zip archives)
given in the report.
- the sources of the demonstration documents (finally) which
should work with
latex followed by
dvipdfm , with pdflatex and
with vlatex :
Note: 1. To process these sources you need to have the packages
ifvtex and ifpdf by Heiko Oberdiek
from
CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/supported/oberdiek/ .
2. Some of the documents need two initial runs of
pdflatex , vlatex or
latex to be processed properly.
3. These documents are likely not to to work with previous versions
of PPower4.

Source material
For those who would like to have a look into the processor and the
PDF library.
If you only want to run the program, you do not need all this.
But to compile the stuff, you have to install first ant for
controlling the build and JUnit for unit
tests.
For now we still need some more time to prepare the sources
to work smoothly outside our development environment. If you
already got ant and JUnit
you can send a mail to request that if you are really
in need of this. I am sorry for this delay.
