+This is the distribution of rnototex that I used at my previous job.
+It took me ages to get it all working, but here it is.
+
+The sources are in VMS Pascal, and can be built using the files
+
+ compile_rnototex.com
+ link_rnototex.com
+
+For those who don't have Pascal, I've made an executable on the only
+VMS system I have access to nowadays, which is a VAX running OpenVMS
+v6.1; to avoid excitement with transferring to and from the Un*x-based
+CTAN archives, that executable is zip'ed using the info-zip package
+(an unzipper is available from tex-archive/tools/info-zip/VMS/
+unz512x-vax.exe -- just run it to extract the contents).
+
+The author of this stuff is Peter Vanroose (vanroose@esat.kuleuven.ac.be)
+but he no longer supports it. As far as I can tell, this distribution
+works, but in the absence of any serious runoff files, I've not tested
+it very fully.
