The Macintosh port of rtf2LaTeX makes minimal use of the
Macintosh user interface, although it does use the
standard  Macintosh file dialog. When rtf2LaTeX is
launched, a dialog comes up emulating the way the program
is used under UNIX - by entering a command line to the
shell. When the dialog comes up, options and the rtf file
path name can be entered in the way described in
README.2LaTeX. If a path name consisting of just a file
name is given, the folder containing rtf2LaTeX will be
searched. If a path name containing directories (folders)
is given, the Macintosh file system syntax must be
followed, with directory names followed by colons (e.g.,
"Hard Drive:writing:my novel.rtf"). If no pathname is
given however, the standard Macintosh file dialog comes up
(showing only text file with names ending with ".rtf"),
and the file can be selected in that way. The command line
dialog defaults to directing the output to a window (the
"console"). Since one will usually wish the output to be
directed to a file, it is necessary to select the button
"file" or "console+file" for "Standard Output" before
hitting return when the command line dialog is up. (Do not
select "file" for "Standard Input".)

The usual and simplest way to use rtf2LaTeX on the Mac is
to double click on its icon, select "file" on the right
hand side of the dialog that comes up, specify the name
and location of the output file which are then requested,
type return to make the dialog which is still there go
away, and finally locate the input file.

Data files used by rtf2LaTeX, such as mac.data or
english.land, must reside in the same folder as the
program. The file rtf2LaTeX.proj is used by Think C to
source files.
