INTRODUCTION
~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you don't use Latex, throw away this program, it's not for you !
Well, now I know you use Latex, so let's explain what is FS2L. Don't
you find it irritating with Latex to have to type "\'e" instead of "é"
whereas the "é" character is available on your keyboard ? Me I do ! So
I wrote FS2L to solve this annoying problem.
FS2L means Foreign Symbols To Latex. This programs takes a text file
with extra-ASCII symbols like "é", "è", "ß", etc as input, and replaces
all these symbols by their Latex equivalent sequences like "\'e", "\`e",
"\beta" in the output file.
USE
~~~
Very simple !
"FS2L latex_text_file" will do the job !
If you are too suspicious to let FS2L directly modify your latex
file, try "FS2L input_latex_text_file output_latex_text_file".
That's all !
FUTUR
~~~~~
I think FS2L supports all the possible strange characters, at least
all the available ones on my Amiga. If I forgot one, let me know. If
you see another think do add to FS2L, I'm opened to every suggestion,
but I really don't see anything...
TECHNICAL NOTES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I provided with this archive FS2L source in E (my prefered language).
If you are a wizard of programation, have a look at FS2L.f, it's the
False source of FS2L. If you don't know False language at all, sit
down before looking at this file, you risk a heart attack ! But after
the first shock, download this fabulous compiler (in dev/lang/ on
aminet mirrors), it's a great language to try (really) !
