This zip file contains the OS/2 2.0 executable and user's manual for the
literate programming tool "funnelweb". The author of funnelweb is Ross
Williams (ross@spam.adelaide.edu.au), and it was ported to OS/2 2.0 by
Paul Lyon (plyon@emx.utexas.edu). Funnelweb is copyright Ross Williams,
but he has released it under Version 2 of the GNU General Public
License. The source code, test suite, and so on, are in a file called
"funnel-s.zip" which should be available from the achive site or bbs from
whence you acquired this file.
You will need TeX to use funnelweb (emTeX will do nicely; that is widely
available, try ftp-os2.nmsu.edu or ftp.uni-stuttgart.de if you have
internet ftp access).
For more information, print out the excellent user's manual that
Ross Williams provides (it is in LaTex format).
There is an internet mailing list for funnelweb users. The mailing list
address is "fw-users@internode.com.au", and the instructions for
subscribing were given as follows:
>To subscribe or unsubscribe from the list, send a message requesting
>this to "fw-users-request@internode.com.au".
>In order to be compatible with various different internet standards
>for organizing mailing lists, two other addresses
>owner-fw-users@internode.com.au and
>owner-fw-users-list@internode.com.au also exist, which are currently
>just aliases for fw-users-request@internode.com.au."
There is also an internet mailing list for literate programming in general,
litprog@shsu.edu, and other literate programming tools are archived
on niord.shsu.edu. To subscribe to the Litprog mailing list:
> LITPROG is a network list dealing with topics related to Literate
> Programming. This includes general issues of style and philosophy,
> such as "what is literate programming?" or "is literate programming
> compatible with writing portable programs?", as well as specific
> issues relating to particular literate programming systems, such as
> "is it possible to use CWEB with ANSI C?" Novices are welcome; it is
> intended that this group should be a place where newcomers can be
> welcomed into the fold as well as a place where seasoned literate
> programmers can discuss fine points of technique.
> To subscribe to LITPROG, include the command:
> SUBSCRIBE LITPROG "Your Real Name in Quotes"
> in the body of a mail message to LISTSERV@SHSU.BITNET
> (LISTSERV@SHSU.edu). Please note that this is a completely mail
> oriented version of LISTSERV; therefore, interactive messages to it
> will fail -- you must use mail.
> The archives of LITPROG are available via electronic mail from
>FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu) and via anonymous ftp from
> Niord.SHSU.edu [192.92.115.8] in the directory [FILESERV.LITPROG].
> The monthly notebook of postings are stored as LITPROG.yyyy-mm, where
> "yyyy" represents the year and "mm" represents the numeric equivalent
> of the month of the post. For example, LITPROG.1992-07 would include
> all posts to LITPROG during July, 1992. To retrieve this notebook via
> e-mail, include:
> SENDME LITPROG.1992-07
> in the body of a mail message to FILESERV (*not* LISTSERV).
> The command SENDME LITPROG will send all of the existing archive
> notebooks if you absolutely, positively have to have all of them..
> FILESERV supports multiple commands, so long as each command resides
> on a unique line of the MAIL message. HELP is a useful command to
> send FILESERV for a summary of accepted commands.
Enjoy,
