- INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
-
- In short, type ``make'' and then run it on the document (try the testfile):
- tr2tex testfile > testfile.tex
-
- In details:
-
- - Use makefile.msc if you're running MS-DOS.
- - In the makefile, define the destination of the executable (default is
- current directory). Also, add the -O flag if you want to (and the
- optimizer in your machine is not buggy). The -O flag causes long compilation
- time but experience has shown that it is unnecessary for this package;
- time saved in running time is extremely small in the computers I used.
- - If the limit on your unsigned int is not 65535, change MAXLEN in
- setups.h accordingly.
- - In tr2tex.c, change the document type if you want. The default is article.
- Also, change the style options to suit your taste. The default
- is [troffms,11pt] if no flag is used and [troffman] if the -m flag is used.
- - Add necessary -D's to CFLAGS if you need them. The program recognizes the
- following compiler-time definitions:
- -Dtops20, -DANSI, -DMSC, -DNO_SGTTY
- - type ``make'' to produce the executable, called ``tr2tex''.
- - Modify troffms.sty and troffman.sty to suit your taste but keep the
- necessary macro definitions as they will be needed when running latex.
- Make sure the font names exist on your site. Change them if necessary.
- - Move troffms.sty and troffman.sty to your macros directory.
- - Install and read the manual page.
- - Run the translator on ``testfile'' and the manual page as follows
- tr2tex testfile > testfile.tex
- tr2tex -m tr2tex.9 > tr2tex.9.tex
-
- and compare ``testfile.tex'' with ``testfile.tex-orig'' and
- ``tr2tex.9.tex'' with ``tr2tex.9-tex-orig''.
- If they are not identical, you have not installed it properly.

-
- USING THE TRANSLATOR
-
- You can run the program either by
- tr2tex < file > file.tex
- or
- tr2tex file > file.tex
- You are most likely to get messages on the standard error telling
- you about things it encounters and cannot do.
-
- Now you have the translated document. Look at it and see if you
- can spot a major error. Run it through latex. If it runs and produces
- the dvi file, then print it. If you get latex error messages modify
- the translated document accordingly and repeat the latex run, and so on.
- I usually get away with one or two iterations.
