           *  This is a reverse-engineered NS 3.3 version
              of Stefan Ried's OS 4.1 Tex2Eps application!  *

For NS 3.3 I have rewritten most things from scratch! ± So this version 
might behave absolutely different than the original one! ± As I wasn't 
able to use or compile the OS 4.1 Tex2Eps version from Stefan Ried, under 
my NS 3.3, I've tried to rebuild it (this is the result).


Here are some added or changed things relative to the original Tex2Eps
OpenStep version (as far as I know of?):

- added a Save As... button into the main Tex2Eps window
- added a Custom button into the script window
- added a simple Preferences panel for tex2eps.bat script switching
- added simple default database support for determining used script
- eps images are now visible during a drag operation
- the Edit->Copy menu point is now able to copy text or images
  (to copy an image first click once into the image area)
- there is support for some Emacs keyboard shortcuts
- TeX files can now be loaded within a double click in WM
- added mark dirty flag functionallity for the windows
- short NS 3.x online help is available


NOTE:	You must have a working TeX system in order to use Tex2Eps!
		During startup Tex2Eps creates the following diretories:
		
					~/Library/Tex2Eps
					~/Tex2Eps_tmp
					
		the temporary ~/Tex2Eps_tmp directory holds the created eps files
		and will be removed when you quit Tex2Eps.app. The ~/Library/Tex2Eps
		directory keeps your custom "tex2eps.bat" script (if you setup one),
		this directory and it's contents will not be removed when you quit
		the app.
