Filename : README.OS2

This archive contains sources for Trinkle's detex 2.5 and executables for
OS/2 and DOS:

./
README original readme from 2.5
detex.exe OS/2 1.x--2.x and DOS executable
detex.man formatted version of src/detex.1l ("groff -man detex.1l")
readme.os2 this file

src/
lexout.c output of LEX on sparc; flex has problems (see below)
patches.os2 patches (detex.l wants to modify some const strings)
detex.def linker definition file (16-bit versions)
detex-32.def linker definition file
Makefile.os2 makefile for MSC 6.00A or EMX/gcc (tested with dmake 3.8)
notes.os2 notes on the port

The buffering in flex 2.3 is not compatible with the way detex
changes yyin on include files. lexout.c was generated by lex on
a sparc.

The EMX executable will need the runtime files from EMX 0.8g.
These are currently available at ftp-os2.cdrom.com in
os2/2_x/unix/gnu/emx08g/emxrt.zip

Notes:
1. There are targets in makefile.os2 for other compilation options.

2. The original release of the OS/2 and DOS versions contains a bug in the
implementation of yyless, reported by Daniel H. Luecking (see notes.os2).
It could be seen with the following input:
%%Start
An additional problem has surfaced. The following two patterns caused
a dollar sign in each to be essentially ignored:

\spcd\ $D$ ...
......
`$C^\infty\,$' may be
%%End

3. The earlier release did not check for a drive letter or backslash
when checking for an "absolute path". Note that if TEXINPUT[S] is
set, then detex will not search the current directory unless it
appears in TEXINPUT[S] (see notes.os2, thanks DHL).
