[comp.text.tex] Math symbols in WordStar via TeX

gros1530@fredonia.UUCP (Dan Gross) (03/22/90)

	Last semester I took an intro to TeX course, and for my final project,
I started a program that would convert a WordStar file into a TeX file.  The 
idea was to introduce math symbols into WordStar (probably by way of dot 
commands).  I ran into a lot of problems, and only got a couple of things 
working on it.   I was wondering if it was worth my time to pursue the matter
any further, or is there either a.) something already out there to do this, or
b.) a reason why it's not a practical venture.

						Thanks in Advance,

There is a program called WSLTEX (WordStar to LaTeX) which converts Wordstar
files to LaTeX. I've never looked at it, so I don't know if it handles math
or not.

The idle and curious may obtain it from ymir.claremont.edu in
[anonymous.tex.utilities.wsltex]
