+tr2latex: Troff-to-TeX translator
+
+Copyright (C) by 1987 Kamal Al-Yahya, 1991,1992 Christian Engel.
+
+This directory contains a program developed at the Stanford Exploration
+Project, Geophysics Department, by Kamal Al-Yahya.  It was modified and
+enhanced substantially by Christian Engel at the Rheinisch-Westfaelische
+Technische Hochschule at Aachen, Germany, Department of Computer Science 4.
+Copying the sources and the program to any other machine is permitted
+without prior permission provided that copyright messages are kept, no
+profit is made by copying the files, and modifications are clearly
+documented.
+
+I would very much appreciate any comments or suggestions. My e-net
+address is
+		kamal@hanauma.stanford.edu
+If it doesn't work try

+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+It seems as if Kamal isn't to the net anymore.
+
+I have made several modifications on Kamal's version 0.93 from the net.
+Thus I continued my revision numbering with 1.00. The actual revision is
+version 2.2 1992/04/27 15:13:26.
+
+If you modify this source, if you found some bugs, or if you have some
+suggestions for improvements then e-mail me as well:

+
+			USING THE TRANSLATOR
+
+You can run the program either by
+		tr2latex < file  > file.tex
+or
+		tr2latex file  > file.tex
+You are most likely to get messages on the standard error telling
+you about things it encounters and cannot do.
+
+Now you have the translated document. Look at it and see if you
+can spot a major error. Run it through latex. If it runs and produces
+the dvi file, then print it. If you get latex error messages modify
+the translated document accordingly and repeat the latex run, and so on.
+I usually get away with one or two iterations.
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+And in 2009 it seems as if Christian Engel has vanished from the
+Internet as well, so I have took over this project and updated the
+build process for a modern UN*X system.
