+
+SUMMARY:
+
+ The new "BSR2dvi" program is TeX freeware for *wholesale*
+extraction of TeX DVI files from "Textures", a Macintosh
+implementation of TeX that is created and marketed by Blue Sky
+Research (=BSR) <http://www.bluesky.com>. The neat "DVIimport"
+tool, freeware by BSR from 1994, already does the opposite.
+"BSR2dvi" will perfectly suit the needs of those preparing many
+electronic publications.
+
+ "Textures" typesetting does not directly produce a TeX DVI
+file (=DeVice Independent output format file) -- a format
+essential to such widely ported TeX utilities as:- xdvi, dvips, or
+dvipdfm. Instead of a DVI file, "Textures" uses a collection of
+Macintosh resources called the 'typeset', made up of segments of
+DVI data alternating with segments of private data. In versions >=
+7 of "Textures", the only BSR tool able to reliably export a DVI
+file is the big "Textures" program; this process is slow (albeit
+free in a recent bridled version called "Textures.FREE").
+
+ "BSR2dvi" is fast, and uses a multi-file 'drag-and-drop'
+user interface, or (for eary Macs) the older
+'joint-launch' user interface.
+
+ It is hopefully usable under most (or all?) Macintosh
+Systems <= 9. Also under System 10(=X) in classic mode.
+
+ The current "BSR2dvi" version is 'beta'; the most
+up-to-date version will be at:
+
+ http://topo.math.u-psud.fr/~lcs/BSR2dvi/
+
+as well as on CTAN.
+
+ Please report bugs, misfeatures, and misinformation to the
+author at the email address found in the program.
