This is a crude compile of fweb-1.40 as found on the
CTAN sites, made for OS/2 using emx. It works, but I have
no clue how to generate diff files and all that.
I got a bit better than in version 1.30 and documented
step by step what I have done to the code to get it to
work, in fact I even included the files I had to change.
How about that?
The full sources as they come from CTAN are in
fweb140s.zip. Executables in fweb140x.zip.
It still uses the ANSI make files in the UNIX directory, and then
compiles the stuff using emx and the modified makefile.
It complaines about one thing, but it seems to work. If I
should find out what the problem is I will fix it, but, honestly
that is not very likely ...
Thanks to J. A. Krommes for the portable ANSI code and to
Eberhad Matthes for emx on os/2.
fweb is a tool for literate programming following D. Knuth's
original web, which was designed for Pascal. Then someone
came along (S. Levy) and ported it with Knuth to accomodate
C. Then someone else cam along and allowed fortran (77 and 90)
and ratfor, too: J. A. Krommes. He wrote fweb, credits and
flowers to him. For more detailed stuff, see the docs
or comp.programming.literate on the usenet.
1.40 allows more than just C and Fortran, and is nicer and
all that. Alas, there is 1.53 by now, but I thought some
might like this one in the meantime.
Anyway. People who like this sort of thing will find this
the sort of thing they like. For docs (a very nice manual
is included in the sources!) see CTAN (in the US for
example the ftp site ftp.shsu.edu).
Put the binaries in your PATH, but the macros (sty/tex)
in your TEXINPUT or TEXINPUTS path, fetch the docs to see
how to use that stuff, and off you go!
Here I included the docs (both dvi and PS, info tex files,
and demos, so you are ready to go out of the box *if* you have
the emx runtime library (emxrt.zip, hobbes, cdrom) version
0.9a or later installed.)
Also, you may want to keep and rename version 1.30 binaries,
since this was more stable, yet feature poor one. Just in case.
