Re: Console based Word Processor

Wow ! That's news. Seems rather interesting. A console based frontend to LaTeX ! If you cannot recall the URL, is there any clue to the project/ program name so that one can search for it on one of the search engines on the net? USM Bish On Mon, Aug 28, 2000 at 11:27:43AM -0400, hawk wrote: >

Re: How to convert multiple pages html doc to other formats?

I am not quite sure why the binaries had kernel specific distributions, perhaps some header info needed for compile. Never investigated the issue further, never struck me ! Dumb bloke that I am! USM Bish On Mon, Aug 28, 2000 at 09:21:50AM -0400, Peter S Galbraith wrote: > > What does htmldoc do
