   1 Installation Instructions for Tex2RTF
   2 -------------------------------------
   3
   4 Binaries are supplied for Windows 3.1 and for Sun workstations.
   5
   6 If these don't work for you, or you are using a different system, you
   7 will need to compile Tex2RTF. There are several options for doing this.
   8
   9 (1) GUI version
  10
  11 If you want to have a graphical interface for Tex2RTF
  12 (not essential for a conversion utility!) then you
  13 will need to download wxWidgets from skye.aiai.ed.ac.uk
  14 (192.41.104.6) in the directory /pub/wxwin/beta, files
  15 wx150?_*.tar.Z (or .gz) where ? is the latest beta letter,
  16 currently i.
  17
  18 On UNIX, you will then need to decide whether you want to produce
  19 an XView or Motif version (provided you have one of these
  20 toolkits), and change the makefiles in accordingly,
  21 in wx/src/x, wx/src/base and wx/utils/tex2rtf/src.
  22
  23 Use the makefile target 'xview' or 'motif' from each of the directories
  24 wx/src/x and wx/utils/tex2rtf/src.
  25
  26 Under Windows, just type 'nmake -f makefile.dos' if you're
  27 using a Microsoft-compatible compiler (you'll need to
  28 change the makefiles or build project files for other compilers.)
  29
  30 (2) Non-GUI version
  31
  32 Under UNIX, simply use the target 'nogui'. The supplied files in the
  33 src/wxwin directory supply the essential utilities from wxWidgets, and
  34 Tex2RTF will be built as a command-line program.
  35
  36 On a PC, add 'NOGUI=1' to the makefile command line. Note that the small
  37 amount of memory available under DOS can cause catastrophic crashes for
  38 large input files, due to the lack of memory checking, so be warned! The
  39 Windows version is a more sensible choice.
