Imake-less ImakeTeX 2.00 and SchemeWEB

Subject: Imake-less ImakeTeX 2.00 and SchemeWEB
Keywords: ImakeTeX, SchemeWEB
ImakeTeX automates much of the installation of UnixTeX. An alpha
version of ImakeTeX (2.00) has been released. The aim of the new
version is to eliminate the use of features that are not available in
the important Unix implementations. The approach used has been to
eliminate any feature that does not appear in Draft 10 of POSIX 1.002.
Changes to ImakeTeX include:
[1] updating the web2c version so that compiles TeX 3.1 and MF 2.7,
[2] replacing MIT's imake program by a simple AWK program, and
[3] support for installing AMSTeX 2.0 software.
ImakeTeX is available via anonymous FTP from june.cs.washington.edu in
the file tex/imaketex200.tar.Z.
Know bugs: the makefiles use the double colon target feature which is
not supported on some systems. The next release will eliminate its
use. I have no access to a System V machine, so please check it.
Send bug reports to ramsdell@mitre.org.
*******************************
SchemeWEB
SchemeWEB provides simple support for literate programming in any
dialect of Lisp. Originally created for use with Scheme, it defines a
new source file format which may be used to produce LaTeX input or
Lisp code. The version of July 1990 is available from the Clarkson
archives in the tex-programs directory.
