- pcwtex is a program to semiautomate translation of PC Write files to TeX.
-
- From the readme file:
-
- PCWTEX was written to meet a need: I use a copy of PCWRITE V2.2
- at home, as do my wife and children. It is a good, simple, easy
- to use word processor, and it prints quite well on our Epsom
- LX800.
-
- In my Department (at Monash University) we have the usual clutch
- of TEX/LATEX devotees, and both LJ+ and Postscript printers. I
- wanted to get access to the nice parts of the TEX/LATEX world
- without having to re-educate both my family and myself.
- PCWRITE's functionality is fine; what we wanted was to type
- Alt-I in a document and be able to print it in typical TEX
- style.
-
- Hence PCWTEX. It is bit crude but it does most of the hard work.
- I usually do a bit of fiddling by hand afterwards.
