ArTeX version 1.00b ------------------- ArTeX is a Perl script which simplifies the exchange of LaTeX documents between collaborating authors or between author and publisher. ArTeX analyzes a LaTeX 2e document to determine whether it loads any non-standard files. If non-standard files are identified, ArTeX creates filecontents or filecontents* environments for them and adds these environments to the input document. The new document can be processed successfully on any system with a standard installation of LaTeX 2e. ArTeX has been tested in the following environments: (1) Irix 5.2, Perl 4.036 and 5.000 (2) MS-DOS 6.2, Perl 4.036 (bigperl), emTeX The ArTeX distribution contains the following files: README.artex - this file artex - Perl script artexman.html - HTML version of manual artexman.tex - LaTeX 2e version of manual Note: this is a beta release.
