+latex2rtf is a translator program that translates LaTeX text into the
+RTF format used by various text processors, most notably Word.
+
+For the Copyright of the Program see the file Copyright.
+
+Version 2.3.10 fixes a bug
+(potential vulnerability in processing the LaTeX command \keywords{})
+
+Version 2.3.9 switches to the recent version of Ghostscript.
+Use eps2eps from Ghostscript instead of from MikTeX distribution.
+ Therefore changed the order of program folders in PATH setting
+ in l2rshell.exe (windows GUI) as well as in l2rprep.bat
+Modified latex2png script for compatibility with Ghostscript 9.14 and newer
+(gs 9.14 and newer use a different eps2eps script producing better quality eps
+ files on the expense of containing binary stuff)
+
+Version 2.3.8 fixes a bug
+(previous versions inserted an extra blank after ! and ?)
+
+Version 2.3.7 fixes a bug
+(\begin{equation}...\end{equation} caused double numbering when converting to bitmaps or eps)
+
+Version 2.3.6 updated address of FSF in GPL license text
+
+Version 2.3.5 fixes a bug
+(\begin{equation}...\end{equation} was output as $$...$$)
+
+Version 2.3.4 adds basic support for tikz graphics
+
+Version 2.3.3 fixes a bug (equations were split at \\ in align
+environments when converting to bitmaps or eps)
+
+Version 2.3.2 fixes a bug (when a temp folder was specified,
+the temp folder name was not added to eps names in the text)
+and enables conversion of equations to bitmaps or eps
+from documents needing pdflatex or xelatex.
+
+Version 2.3.1 fixes two bugs: in PutEpsFile (variable eps was undefined)
+and in funct1.c (figure numbers missing with "-F" option,
+patch tracker no.3537371).
+
+Version 2.3.0 contains some bug fixes and adds the possibility to
+convert equations and / or pdf and ps figures to eps
+and insert the eps and / or bitmap file names in the rtf text.
+The wordprocessing program by which the rtf is opened
+can then scan through the text, search for the inserted file names
+and replace them by actually inserting the figures.
+
+Version 2.2.1 only contains minor changes needed to silence compiler
+warnings, update documentation, and improve package distribution.
+No new functionality is included.
+
+Version 2.2.0 has a bunch of minor bug fixes, adds support for the
+setspace package, adds support for \bibstyle, extends babel converage to
+include british, greek, and frenchb languages, fix \graphicspath, improve
+handling of cp1251 and support \accent23 for czech.
+
+As of version 2.1.0, latex2rtf uses Unicode for all characters. Since
+most fonts are missing some special math characters, it is recommended
+that the STIX fonts (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/fonts/)
+be installed for best results.
+
+As of version 1.9.13, latex2rtf supports converting equations to
+bitmaps. This requires TeX and ImageMagick. See scripts/README.
+
+To install (on a UNIX system)
+- Edit Makefile for your local configuration. The default install
+ is reasonable, but if you do not have root access, then you might
+ need to set $PREFIX to be your home directory.
+- make
+- If this is not your first-time installation, you may want to preserve
+ your old configuration (*.cfg) files. Copy them to a safe place before
+ installing.
+- make check (expect warnings but no errors)
+- make install
+
+Reporting bugs to the homepage at Sourceforge
+
+ http://sourceforge.net/projects/latex2rtf/
+
+* Please verify your bug with the most recent version of the program.
+* Please provide the version of the program you are using
+* Please provide your operating system and version number
+* Provide a short latex file that exhibits the bug. It is
+ imperative that you spend time isolating the problem into a small
+ latex file. This shows that you actually care enough about the
+ problem to spend some of your time trying to help isolate the bug.
+* Be patient. Provide patches. Enjoy.
