Introduction to version 2.70.0 of WP2LaTeX.

INTRODUCTION
------------
This program converts WordPerfect 4.x, 5.x and 6.x document files to LaTeX
input files. Please read the manual for the basic conditions
under which a satisfying conversion is made. Currently, there is 
a MS-DOS, Linux, OS/2 and Windows versions of the program available.
The C++ (and obsolette Pascal) sources are included in this package.


New to this version are:
 - Improved formula converting
 - Better layout of the LaTeX text (I again hope).
 - Centered+Right+Left text
 - Text Boxes
 - Table Boxes
 - New extended characters (cyrillic support)
 - Conversions from WP 6.0 and WP 4.0 should now work
 - Conversion of multicolumn documents is performed

The things have to be done:
 - Decrease amount of TeX Errors
 in converted documents
 - Make tests of quality of the conversion
 - Add new foreigner characters
 - Add new features


THE PACKAGE
-----------
The basic files from WP2LaTeX package:
  - FILE_ID.DIZ  ( the 1'st readme file, label )
  - DOS\WP2LATEX.EXE ( the conversion program DOS executable)
  - WIN\WP2LATEX.EXE ( the conversion program for Windows)
  - LINUX\WP2LATEX ( the conversion program for Linux)
  - SOURCES.PAS\WP2LATEX.PAS ( the Turbo Pascal sources )
  - STYLES.TEX\WP2LATEX.STY ( style file needed by LaTeX for processing )
  - WP2LATEX.TEX ( user's guide for the program, in English; LaTeX format )

HOW TO BUILD
 & INSTALL
------------
----------

There is makefile prepared for GCC. It will work under Linux
and DJGPP.

	change to the source directory
cd sources.cc
	Then do:
make all

***Linux instalation****
	And only under Linux you may type:
make install

For finising instalation you should also store files wp2latex.sty,
endnotes.sty, wncyr.sty, cyracc.def etc. to proper directory.
These files are stored in the directory 'styles.tex'. The TeX translator
should know about these files. It is solved by
 using a TEXINPUTS system
variable.

***DOS installation***

Place a file wp2latex.exe (from directory dos\ or dos\real) to the directory
which is referred by the PATH variable. 

Place all stuff from the directory 'styles.tex\' to the
directory   emtex\texinput\ .

Optionally you can copy a file doc\locale\lc_messages\cs\wp2latex.mo
to the directory $(DJDIR)\SHARE\LOCALE\LC_MESSA\CS\WP2LATEX.MO .


For Borland C++ you should make another makefile. All code was tested
and you cannot suppose any problems. Do not omit to add files
from directory .\atoms\ to your makefile. 



USAGE
-----
The command line looks like :

    WP2LaTeX <wpfilename> [<latexfilename>]

When not supplied [<latexfilename>]
, the LaTeX filename is composed
by changing or
 adding `.tex' to the base name of WP-file. There are
also a lot of
 other arguments, which are described in the included
documentation or are available by executing 'wp2latex -?'.


THANKS
------
I want to thank all previous authors of this package to bring some
ideas. I try to gather them into my package. I thank to everybody
who found a bug or sended me some notes about incorrect function of 
WP2LaTeX.

			       2,Test latest version from:
	                          http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~fojtik	

a,If you find a bug, which cause a data loss or program crash please send
me a description, how to repeat this bug. Cut your WP file to shortest
possible, which still cause this bug. Then send me this file.
b,If you find a bug which causes TeX errors, send me a detailed description
what was happen and idea how the convertor should work in this case.
I know about many situation, when TeX reports errors and I don't know
how to cope with them.
