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. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Julian Smart, February 1993 +J.Smart@ed.ac.uk |
