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 I have ispell/detex running on the NeXT 2.0. I can post to sonata.cc.purdue.edu within the NeXT day or two. I'll also include instructions on what to put in your .emacs (at least what works for me). -- =============================================================================== Internet: simmons@rigel.neep.wisc.edu Othernet: simmons@hoofers.lake.mendota --- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- --- According to the HitchHikers guide to the galaxy, the one thing we *cannot* afford to have is a sense of perspective. ===============================================================================
