CTAN submission -- BSR2dvi for Textures
by Reinhard Zierke 16 May '02

16 May '02

----- Forwarded message from Laurent Siebenmann ----- Date: Wed, 15 May 2002 02:29:46 +0200 (MEST) From: lcs(a)math.u-psud.fr To: ctan(a)dante.de, lcs(a)math.u-psud.fr, wwwmaint(a)dante.de Subject: BSR2dvi upload Sender: owner-ctan(a)dante.de #NAME OF CONTRIBUTION: BSR2dvi #UPLOADED TO: ftp://ftp.dante.de/incoming/BSR2dvi.zip #MY POSTING: http://topo.math.u-psud.fr/~lcs/BSR2dvi.zip #AUTHOR'S NAME: Laurent Siebenmann #AUTHOR'S EMAIL: lcs(a)matups.math.u-psud.fr #LOCATION ON CTAN: Expand zip atchive to become dviware/BSR2dvi #SUMMARY DESCRIPTION: A free mass converter, from the private format for the TeX implementation Textures by BlueSky Research (BSR), to TeXs' standard output format dvi. #LICENSE TYPE: public domain #KEYWORDS: Textures, DVI export, Macintosh, freeware #ANNOUNCEMENT: -------------------------------------------------------------- This is the alpha release of BSR2dvi. It is a public domain Macintosh program for mass extraction from Textures' all-in-one file format to TeX's output format suffixed .dvi. It uses a multi-file 'drag-and-drop' user interface, or (for eary Macs) the older 'joint-launch' user interface. BSR2dvi is a natural partner to BSR's own freeware DeleteType utility of 1992, which somewhat similarly extracts TeX's ASCII input format commonly suffixed .tex or .ltx. --------------------------------------------------------------- ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload.
