Write some LaTeX? :o) Ok, I know LaTeX is a pain to write in until you've finally spent the dreaded thousands of hours to learn all the itsy bitsy tiny weenie dirty tricks to make it do what you want. Since you don't mind it, I'm sure you won't mind doing a bit of legwork yourself and... convert them to text-files yourself? :o) In other words: use pdftotext (it is part of the xpdf distribution which is obtainable from http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/). It works wonderfully. Other than that you could convert it to HTML, XML, PostScript or any number of other strange formats that language translaters have been created for. > I suppose most imps never bother updating the docs as they go, but > I always do.

Comments and manuals... people actually read those? :o) -- Yours truly, Henrik Stuart (http://www.unprompted.com/hstuart/) -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | | Newbie List: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/circle-newbies/ | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
