-April 26, 1986
-
-Modified -- June 4, 1986
-Changed so that it automatically recognizes LaTeX source and ignores several
-environment modes such as array.
-
-
-Modified (Version 2.0) -- June 30, 1984
-Now handles white space in sequences like "\begin { document }". Detex is not
-as easily confused by such things as display mode ends and begins that don't
-match up.
-
-
-Modified -- September 19, 1986
-Added the "-e <environment-list>" option to ignore specified LaTeX
-environments.
-
-
-Modified -- June 30, 1987
-Added the "-n" no-follow option, to allow detex to ignore \input and \include
-commands. Also changed the algorithm for locating the input files. It now
-interprets the "." more reasonably (i.e. it is not always the beginning of an
-extension).
-
-
-Modified -- December 15, 1988
-Added handling of verbatim environment in LaTeX mode and added it to the list
-of modes ignored by default. Because of limitations with lex, it was
-necessary to shorten the names of some of the existing start states before
-adding a new one (ugh).
-
-
-Modified -- January 3, 1988
-Added ignore of \$ inside $$ (math) pair.
-
-
-Modified (Version 2.2) -- June 25, 1990
-Control sequences are no longer replaced by space, but just removed. This
-means accents no longer cause output words to be broken. The "-c" option was
-added to show the arguments of \cite, \ref, and \pageref macros. This is
-useful when using something like style on the output.
-
-
-Modified (Version 2.3) -- September 7, 1990
-Fixed the handling of Ctl mode a little better and added an exception
-for \index on suggestions from kcb@hss.caltech.edu (KC Border). Also
-changed the value for DEFAULTINPUTS to coincide with a local change.
-
-
-Modified -- February 10, 1991
-Added -t option to force TeX mode even when seeing the "\begin{document}"
-string in the input.
-
-
-Modified -- February 23, 1991
-Based on suggestions from pinard@iro.umontreal.ca (Francois Pinard), I
-added support for the SysV string routines (-DUSG), added defines for
-the flex lexical scanner (-DFLEX_SCANNER), changed NULL to '\0' when
-using it as a character (his sys defined NULL as (void *)0), changed
-the Makefile to use ${CC} instead of cc, and added comments about the
-new compile time options.
-
-
-Modified (Version 2.4) -- September 2, 1992
-Corrected the way CITEBEGIN worked. Due to serious braindeath I had
-the condition wrong in the if test. It should be (fLatex && !fCite).
-This solves the problem a couple people reported with amstex style
-\ref entries.
-
-Added a preprocessing sed(1) command to replace all the long, easy to
-read state names with short two letter state names (SA-S?) so that lex
-won't overflow and I don't have to keep shortening the state names
-every time I add one. If a state is added, it must also be added to
-states.sed (order is important) along with its unique S? replacement.
-
-Added \pagestyle, \setcounter, and \verb handling from
-K.Sattar@cs.exeter.ac.uk (Khalid Sattar). Also allows invocation as
-"delatex" to force LaTeX mode.
-
-Applied patches from queinnec@cenatls.cena.dgac.fr (Philippe Queinnec)
-to handle nested {}s in state <LaMacro2> (\bibitem, \cite, \index).
-
-Added special ligature handling (\aa, \ae, \oe, \l, \o, \i, \j, \ss)
-at the suggestion of gwp@dido.caltech.edu (G. W. Pigman II).
-
-Cleaned up the comments on detex.h, added mathmatica to DEFAULTENV.
-
-
-Modified (Version 2.5) -- January 28, 1993
-Leading spaces in macros are no longer stripped. This means
-"foo\footnote{ bar}" comes out as "foo bar" instead of "foobar".
-
-Fixed special ligature handling so it works in cases line {\ss} instead of
-just when followed by a space.
-
-
-Modified (Version 2.6) -- July 30, 1993
-Added OS/2 port from hankedr@mail.auburn.edu (Darrel R Hankerson).
-
-Added handling of leading and trailing ':' in TEXINPUTS per the latest
-TeX as suggested by jnp@tfl.dk (J|rgen N|rgaard).
-
-Changed the way the input path is constructed in SetInputPaths() so we
-never try to modify a constant string.
-
-Changed the way the the ignore environment list is contructed in
-SetEnvIgnore() so we never try to modify a constant string.
-
-Changed the USG define to HAVE_STRING_H.
-
-Fixed the states.sed script so it only replaces "Input" in the correct
-places. I would like to use the \< \> word separator patterns but
-they are not supported by all versions of sed. This as least works.
-
-Changed the detex.c target in the Makefile to use a temporary file
-because I experienced problems (segmentation fault) with lex on
-Solaris 2.1 when input was from stdin.
-
-
-Modified (Version 2.7) -- September 10, 1997
-Removed line breaks in detex.l between a few patterns and actions. It
-appears that flex is no longer able to handle this. Thanks to Anthony
-Harris <harris@hebb.neurology.pitt.edu> and Marty Leisner
-<leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com> for reporting this.
-
-
-Porting notes -- March 30, 1992
-When using gcc, or compiling on a NeXT, you should compile with
--fwritable-strings. With the change to SetInputPaths() in 2.6 this
-should no longer be necessary.
-
-On a NeXT, it has been reported that lex replaces the '\0' with NULL,
-and then the compiler complains about it. I think this is an old bug
-that is no longer applicable.
-
-July 30, 1993
-The flex scanner generator does not work because it does not handle
-input buffering the same way as lex. I don't know of any reasonable
-way to rewrite detex to get around this problem.

-According to alain@ia1.u-strasbg.fr (Alain Ketterlin), using flex
-allows 8-bit characters to be handled correctly.
