.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
.I texify
converts 8-bit TeX input files to 7-bit ones.
It understands the MS-DOS character set
(version 3.1 and earlier, i.e., no alternate code pages),
the Macintosh character set, the Norwegian 7-bit character set,
and the ISO8859-1 character set.
In default operation, the output will replace the input.
.SH FLAGS
Exactly one of the following switches must be present.
.TP
.B \-d
Use the MS-DOS translation table.
.TP
.B \-m
Use the Macintosh translation table.
.TP
.B \-n
Use the Norwegian translation table, converting curly and square
brackets, backslashes and vertical bars to TeX codes for the
corresponding Norwegian letters.
.TP
.B \-i
Use the ISO8859-1 translation table.
.TP
.B \-?
Print a short usage note explaining the flags and options.
If you run under Unix, be sure to escape the question mark.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-s
Show the translation table on the standard error output.
.TP
.B \-v
Verbose operation.
.TP
.B \-V
Show the version number of
.IR texify .
.TP
.BI \-t " tablefile"
Read the named file and use as translations in addition to or
replacing those in the built-in table.
Each line of the file is interpreted in the following way:
The first character on the line will be replaced by
the text given by the remainder of the line
(sorry, no escape conventions are supported).
.TP
.BI \-o " outputfile"
Place the output on the named file and leave the input file unchanged.
By default, the output replaces the input.
.SH BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
Only one file can be converted at the time.
You cannot read from stdin or write to stdout.
The
.B \-s
option prints out translated characters with the 8th bit set verbatim
(this is OK under MS-DOS).
The
.B \-?
option is difficult to type under Unix.
Since the program in its default operation writes to a temporary file,
then moves that file over the original, file modes may be changed
under Unix.  Also, if you have write privileges to the file you are
converting but not to the directory where it resides the program will
fail.  Do not try to use the
.B \-o
option to force the program to write back on the original file; if the
input and output files are identical, you will surely trash your data.
.SH AUTHOR
Harald Hanche-Olsen, with a little help from Anund Lie.
This program was originally written using the Microsoft C compiler
under MS-DOS, but was later ported to Turbo C and Unix.
Its present version is fairly portable ANSI C.
