Knuth's +"TeX" program (v 3.x) into true 8-bit text files. +The sign of probable need for conversion by "Kto8" +is the presence of pairs ^^ of hat characters. If +there are no such pairs, Kto8 will merely copy the +file intact. + + "Kto8" is presently a pd freeware program +realized for Macintosh OS as a tiny drag-and-drop +utility with a multiple file capability. + + Since Textures satisfactorily writes 8-bit text +files, "Kto8" is dedicated to the several other +Macintosh OS TeX systems currently in use. + + "Kto8" can be helpful or essential when text +files output by TeX are to be edited visually -- +which occurs, for example: + + --- when TeX has been called upon to change the +encoding of a text file, and + + --- when an index is being prepared on the basis +of information gleaned by TeX. + + + Laurent Siebenmann, + + lcs@topo.math.u-psud.fr + laurent@math.toronto.edu + |
