There's a supplemental program called detex, which strips out most of the TeX formatting commands. Detex is supplied as a lex file along with .h and Makefile. This version runs fine for me on BSD4.3, and compiles on the NeXT, but then dies with the message "Bus error" when I try to run it. Has anyone succeeded in getting ispell/detex going? --paul paul@tucson.sie.arizona.edu paul@aqua.ccit.arizona.edu
