Hi everybody! This is Jon Monsarrat from Brown University.

LameTeX is a neat-o PostScript and C++ program that is a clone of LaTeX.
It lets you format text inside a non=rectangular page, like a circle,
triangle, or any bounding PostScript path.

LameTeX also allows you to include lots of fancy graphics, both "simple"
and "fancy PostScript hacker".

There is a new version of LameTeX, version 1.1, that can convert a simple
LaTeX .tex file into plain ASCII output. Just type

lametex -t yourfile.tex

   ...and it produces...

yourfile.txt

Also included in this version are the following additional LaTeX commands:

\ref \label \part* \chapter* \section* \subsection* \subsubsection*
\paragraph* \subparagraph*

The new version of LameTeX is now available at the ftp site
wilma.cs.brown.edu (128.148.31.66) as "pub/lametex.tar.Z".

Please tell me what you think! Version 1.1 brought to you by people
who cared enough to make enchancement requests.
