+texit.cmd is a REXX script, that does a dependence check similar to make, but
+for TeX files. It allows generating the postscript file by an option '-p'. The
+calling syntax is:
+
+ texit [-p] <TeX-filename>
+
+where <TeX-filename> may contain backlashes, since texit does a cd into the
+directory, where the TeX-file resides. This makes texit well-suited for use
+with the WPS drag&drop facility. The <TeX-filename> may be provided with
+or without extension.
+
+If the TeX-file causes an index-file to be created, makeindex will be called in
+order to create the .ind-file. TeX will be run as long as the .dvi-file or any
+file contributing to the .dvi-file changes. After that, if specified, dvips
+will be called to generate the postscript output.
+
+The TeX executable has to be reachable as 'gblatex', makeindex has to be
+callable via 'makeindx', and dvips must, how else could it be, named 'dvips'.
