+Hi ho! Here are some FunnelWeb bits and pieces.
+
+If you are reading this and decide to pick up
+the files in this directory, please send me an email.
+That way I know who is interested.
+
+dek.fw is the FunnelWeb source to a sample program originally
+written in (Pascal) WEB by Don Knuth, and published in CACM.
+
+dek2.fw is the same program, but designed to be processed
+with LaTeX instead of Plain TeX. You'll need fw-latex.sty
+in this directory.
+To do this, use
+ fw dek2 +t
+then remove the first 347 lines of dek2.tex (the Plain TeX
+header) with your editor. (Or maybe say
+ tail +348 dek2.tex > dek2.latex ; mv dek2.latex dek2.tex
+in a Makefile . . . .)
+Then run LaTeX on dek.tex.
+
+Oh, by the way - rand_int.p is the Pascal source for a
+suitable random number generator for use with the program.
+This is Sun-specific!
+To compile (on a Sun), do
+pc -o sample sample.p rand_int.p
+(you'll get a harmless warning).
+
+PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE send me bug reports for fw-latex.sty!
+
+Note that I have only tried to get the Plain TeX functionality
+to work properly - anything extra is up to you.
