If you don't have it already installed + fetch the index of one of these sites, and search (grep) for + the pattern "emxrt.zip", or, if you can use regular expressions, + "^emxrt.zip". Then download and istall it. It contains the runtime + system in a dynamic link library which is shared by many other + programmes (say, gnu file utils, vi, emacs, less, probably even + emTeX programmes). This allows the executables to stay small and lean + but they won't run without it. +e) put nuweb.exe in your path. + +It seems that this is the right tool for cs people who don't crave nice, +mathematical pretty print stuff (like some physicists prefer), and for +projects that involve mixing of languages, or involve languages that +other webs don't know about. (I like fweb, too, but fweb can't do +Extended Pascal, as an example, and so nuweb seems to be it for that +case.) + +=============================================================================== +Stefan A.
