This distribution contains the source code for the program
la2mml
It is a program that converts LaTeX source files into
FrameMaker mml format.
Please read the document `man-page.tex' (a LaTeX file) for
usage details.
The program is known to run on Sun-3 and Sun-4 platforms,
and on the Macintosh. The Sun-3 & Sun-4 installation requires
access to the Gnu C compiler, or else you will have to edit
source files to remove use of ANSI-C function prototypes.
The Macintosh installation requires use of LightSpeed C (also
known as Think C), version 4.0.
The source code is provided in compressed tar format. To
uncompress the files, follow these steps:
1. create a directory to hold the source files
2. move the file `la2mml.tar.Z' into that directory, and
change your working directory to be that directory.
3. execute the command:
zcat la2mml.tar.Z | tar xvf -
4. You may now remove the original `la2mml.tar.Z' file.
Actual creation of the la2mml program should involve no more
than typing the command `make'. You may like to read the
`Makefile' before typing such a dangerous command, however.
Installation on the Macintosh platform should require no
explanation for Think C users. The only information needed is
that the application uses the
MacTraps, ANSI and Unix
libraries and that you have to split the program into segments.
The program is offered as shareware. If you think the program
is worth U.S.$40 in saved time, please edit the invoice,
supplied as the LaTeX file `invoice.tex', to show your
institution's name and address. Convert the invoice to Frame-
Maker format, print it out, and pass it on to your accounts
department. Easy! If you would prefer that we mail an invoice
directly to your institution, just send an e-mail request to:
nigelh@csr.uvic.ca
Remember to include the full billing address as well as your
own name and department name.
If you wish to be notified of bug fixes and enhancements, or
to notify us of bugs, please use the above e-mail address.
Thank you.
