I have uploaded nuweb087.zip including sources by Preson Briggs and the os/2 binary to : hobbes (ftp-os2.nmsu.edu), now: /incoming suggested: /os2/unix/tex cdrom (ftp-os2.cdrom.com), now: /os2/incoming suggested: /os2/tex and CTAN (ftp.shsu.edu): now: /incoming suggested: tex-archive/web/nuweb/os2/ (needs to be created). Replaces: Nothing really, except hopefully DOS versions of nuweb, running on some OS/2 machines. Brief description: I was looking in news groups for a tool for literate programming (web) that'd allow me to use Fortran. (Extended) Pascal, and C and was portable to or available for OS/2. I came accross an interesting FAQ for the comp.literate.programming, and I got his personal reply: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Preston Briggs (preston@cs.rice.edu) wrote: : >Also, my desire to have a version that (i) runs on OS/2 and (ii) : >possibly incorporates Extended ANSI Pasal, while (iii) being based on : >fweb to allow also g77 and gcc codes, made me think the -- for me very : >unusual -- cross posting would enlarge my cross section and hence the : >chance for an event ... : Lots of us have given up on the idea of pretty printing all our code, : and use language-independent tools. For OS/2, you might check out : nuweb and funnelweb. I wrote nuweb and unsurprisingly prefer it. I : use it with C, C++, Fortran, Scheme, and Makefiles.

All you need to use it is: a) LaTeX installed on your system (2.09 or 2e are fine) b) print the nuwebman.dvi or nuwebman.ps files, read them c) an editor d) the emx runtime system (emxrt.zip, from ftp-os2.cdrom.com, or ftp-os2.nmsu.edu, for instance), version 0.9a fix pack 06 or later installed. If you don't have it already installed fetch the index of one of these sites, and search (grep) for the pattern "emxrt.zip", or, if you can use regular expressions, "^emxrt.zip". Then download and istall it. It contains the runtime system in a dynamic link library which is shared by many other programmes (say, gnu file utils, vi, emacs, less, probably even emTeX programmes). This allows the executables to stay small and lean but they won't run without it. e) put nuweb.exe in your path. It seems that this is the right tool for cs people who don't crave nice, mathematical pretty print stuff (like some physicists prefer), and for projects that involve mixing of languages, or involve languages that other webs don't know about. (I like fweb, too, but fweb can't do Extended Pascal, as an example, and so nuweb seems to be it for that case.) =============================================================================== Stefan A.
