+texfot is a Perl script to filter the online output from a TeX run,
+attempting to show only those messages which (probably) deserve some
+attention in the source. The TeX invocation itself need not change.
+
+The PDF file is made from the POD documentation in the Perl source:
+ pod2man texfot.pl | groff -man -t -rS11 | ps2pdf - texfot.pdf
+
+The -t preprocesses with (g)tbl, which pod2man output might need.
+The -rS11 switches to 11pt font size.
+Supposedly it is possible to add options to either groff or ps2pdf
+(aka ghostscript) to force A4 page output, but nothing worked for me.
+
+Originally written in 2014. Released to the public domain.
