- 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
- create the application from the source files.
