Note that the encoding of umlauts, +diphthongs, or diacritics is quite different in ISO Latin-1 +(Unix, MS Windows), MS DOS (code page 437) or Apple Macintosh. + +Moreover, this program takes care of transcriptions used in TeX or HTML +(hypertext markup language). Internally, a font description similar to the +TeX code (but without math mode) is used. Tags and macros are removed +from HTML and TeX input. (With respect to TeX, the resulting plain +text file is similar to that produced by utilities such as "detex" or +"unretex", but umlauts are taken into account.) + +Furthermore, the program allows conversion between different +end-of-line markers (Unix: LF, DOS: CRLF, Mac: CR). + +However, the text is not formatted. + +Installation: + +The file "sys_def.h" tries to define the system (and includes stdio.h); +it may have to be edited. +To install, look at the Makefile, edit the paths etc., type "make". +(Followed by "make install" and "make install.man".) + +The program has been compiled successfully on the following systems: + +Sun Sparc running SunOS 4.1.1 with cc or gcc +SGI Iris Indigo running IRIX 4.0.5F +IBM RS/6000 running AIX 3.2 +CDC 4680 running EP/IX 2.1.1 +IBM PC running DOS with Borland C++ 3.1 +Atari ST with Turbo C 2.0 + +Burkhard Kirste (kirste@chemie.fu-berlin.de) -- cgit v1.2.3
