Hi, I've been swamped with requests for the C version of wp2latex. Our mail bill would triple overnight if I sent everyone the source :-). I will post it to alt.sources and/or comp.text.tex. I imagine that source postings to comp.text.tex are verboten. Could someone (Don Hosek?) clue me in on this point? All up it would amount to ~250kb (Docs, source, support library, &c). I have recieved nigh on 40 requests. I know that's not a lot but that's 10 per day not to mention the shy people :-) Overwhelmed, Glenn -- Glenn Geers | "So when it's over, we're back to people.

I know that's not a lot but that's 10 per day >not to mention the shy people :-) Well, as I posted earlier, wp2latex is available for anonymous FTP from ymir.claremont.edu in [anonymous.tex.ibm_pc.front_ends.wp2latex] (I just *love* deep directory trees ;-) BUT, you might say, I don't have anonymous FTP! Well, all non-binary files available for FTP are also available mailserv@from ymir.claremont.edu. If you know the filename all you have to do is chop off the anonymous part of the directory and send a message with the command SEND filename. For example, if you wanted to get lplain.tex from [anonymous.tex.inputs.latex], you would send the command SEND [TEX.INPUTS.LATEX]LPLAIN.TEX to mailserv@ymir.claremont.edu (case doesn't matter, btw) If you know the directory but not the file(s) as is the case above, ask for 00readme.txt in that directory. If it doesn't exist, let me know and I'll make it. The 00readme.txt file will tell you what files are there and what they are (and if I'm on the ball, it will indicate whether a file is binary or not). -dh --- Don Hosek TeX, LaTeX, and Metafont support, consulting dhosek@ymir.claremont.edu installation and production work. dhosek@ymir.bitnet Free Estimates. uunet!jarthur!ymir Phone: 714-625-0147 finger dhosek@ymir.claremont.edu for more info

*PLEASE* lets keep comp.text.tex free of major source postings.
alt.sources is fine.
UK readers may note that Glenn's wp2latex source is available in the
UK TeX archive under [tex-archive.utils.wp2latex].
