+Subject: LaTeX to ASCII (and hypertext) Conversion update.
+
+LaTeX2hyp is a program which converts LaTeX to ASCII text file documents.
+(Although this program is intended for LaTeX, I have been informed
+that it often satisfactorily converts TeX documents as well.)
+
+Version 1.09 (Oct 6, 94) is now available.
+
+LaTeX2hyp is not just a deTeX program, but actually formats the text,
+performs character set substitutions, and generates cross references etc...
+
+It can also be used to generate hypertext cross references compatible with
+the Borland TurboVision help compiler.
+This allows you to maintain a single doclument for a printed manual and
+Online context sensitive help, and WorldWideWeb documents!
+
+LaTeX2hyp currently supports:
+
+ Part,Chapter,Section, Appendix, etc. numbering.
+ Enumeration, descriptions, itemizations.
+ Accents and symbols.
+ Bibliography.
+ Table of contents.
+ Index.
+ Cross referencing of labels/refs and cites/bibitems.
+
+It currently doesn't do :
+
+ Titlepage (Title page can be produced with %verbatim)
+ Table of figures (because we are generating text files)
+ newcommand (simple \newcommand replacements work, but complex syntax
+ commands are beyond the scope of this program)
+
+ This stuff is just ignored.
+
+ Currently only a book/report/article like style is generated,
+ however, styles generated by certain preprocessing programs are preserved
+ (BibTeX bibliography, and index styles, for example).
+
+It has facilities for providing ASCII representations for mathmode
+equations, inline $$ mathmode, and tables and figures.
+
+Version 1.08/1.09 adds the following features (since 1.05):
+
+ Index.
+ Foreign language support.
+ Corrects some problems with verbatims.
+ Fixes section number when chapters are not used.
+ Bibliography entries in output hypertext files are no longer put on
+ separate pages.
+ Corrects some compilation problems.
+
+I hope to have in the next version (2.0):
+
+ Complete rewrite in C++.
+ Many more commands supported.
+ Output to HTML, HTML+, and AmigaGuide.
+ LaTeX2e support.
+ Tables.
+
+Let me know if you are interested in receiving the program by email or FTP.
+(I can provide the C source (UNIX/MS-DOS) and/or executable for MS-DOS).
+
+Roger
