+Installation Instructions for Tex2RTF
+-------------------------------------
+
+Binaries are supplied for Windows 3.1 and for Sun workstations.
+
+If these don't work for you, or you are using a different system, you
+will need to compile Tex2RTF. There are several options for doing this.
+
+(1) GUI version
+
+If you want to have a graphical interface for Tex2RTF
+(not essential for a conversion utility!) then you
+will need to download wxWindows from skye.aiai.ed.ac.uk
+(192.41.104.6) in the directory /pub/wxwin/beta, files
+wx150?_*.tar.Z (or .gz) where ? is the latest beta letter,
+currently i.
+
+On UNIX, you will then need to decide whether you want to produce
+an XView or Motif version (provided you have one of these
+toolkits), and change the makefiles in accordingly,
+in wx/src/x, wx/src/base and wx/utils/tex2rtf/src.
+
+Use the makefile target 'xview' or 'motif' from each of the directories
+wx/src/x and wx/utils/tex2rtf/src.
+
+Under Windows, just type 'nmake -f makefile.dos' if you're
+using a Microsoft-compatible compiler (you'll need to
+change the makefiles or build project files for other compilers.)
+
+(2) Non-GUI version
+
+Under UNIX, simply use the target 'nogui'. The supplied files in the
+src/wxwin directory supply the essential utilities from wxWindows, and
+Tex2RTF will be built as a command-line program.
+
+On a PC, add 'NOGUI=1' to the makefile command line. Note that the small
+amount of memory available under DOS can cause catastrophic crashes for
+large input files, due to the lack of memory checking, so be warned! The
+Windows version is a more sensible choice.
