This describes the new features of Crudetype V3. I assume the flag character is
'/' as in VMS, other systems use other flags.

1. Two flavours of screen view. /b tries to generate a file suitable for
examination on a terminal (must be 132 chars wide for most TEX formats). The
most important change is that no over-struck characters can be shown, so (for
example the empty set symbol will appear as just  O  instead of  O  over-struck
with  /  and the multiply sign as  /   instead of  /  over-struck with  \  . I
have made a slight attempt to fix various bugs that non-overstriking introduces;
e.g. in some fonts the less-equal sign ( normally  < over-struck with  _ ) would
appear just as  <  so I made it appear as  <=  .  

2.  /i  produces immediate output on the terminal. Note that this is very
system-dependent. I made it work on VMS and some types of Unix but there is no
way I can possibly make it work on any other system without access to a machine
of that type.  /i  can be given an argument, e.g.  /i40 .  This says that your
terminal is 40 lines long. Default = 20.  /i0  means infinite.

3. Separate horizontal (  /x  ) and vertical (  /y  ) magnifications.  the old
/m  is retained for compatibility only; if you give both  /m  and  /x  or  /y
they all take effect. With circle.tex  for example,  /x150  looks much better
than  /m150 .
