Introduction to version 3.0b of WP2LaTeX.

INTRODUCTION
------------
This program converts WordPerfect 5.1 document files to LaTeX
input files. Please read the manual for the basic conditions
under which a satisfying conversion is made. Currently, there is only
a MS-DOS version of the program available. 

This new C-version of WP2LaTeX is based on the translation rules
used in version 1.0. For this reason, a modificated version of the user 
manual of version 1.0 is supplied. 

New to this version are:
 - Formula converting (Not yet working properly!).
 - Better layout of the LaTeX text (I hope).
 - Faster execution (Who cares ?).

The things that have to be done include:
 - Better conversion of indents.
 - Better conversion of formulas.


THE PACKAGE
-----------
The WP2LaTeX package consists of 5 files:
 - WP2LaTeX.exe -- The program
 - WP2LaTeX.def -- The ASCII definition style. (take a look!)
 - WP2LaTeX.sty -- The (old) style file needed for LaTeX to work
                   with the generated files.
 - manual.dvi   -- The manual.
 - readme.txt   -- This file.
Unlike before, the sources are not supplied with the package.
They may be later, when the program is 'stable'.
The home base for the program will be the FTP-side ftp.urc.tue.nl.
The program will remain in the directory /pub/tex/wp2latex.


USAGE
-----
The command line looks like :

    WP2LaTeX <wpfilename> [<latexfilename>]

When not supplied, the LaTeX filename is composed by changing or
adding `.tex' to the base name of WP-file.


THANKS
------
I wanna thank Ron Helwig for supporting the contacts related
to the previous version of the program in last recent years.
I specially wanna thank Piet Tutelaers and the Computing Centre
of Eindhoven University of Technology for supplying me the
UNIX account and some space on the FTP server.
