Directory support/texfilt

The TeXFILT program is a filter for TeX/LaTeX log files.  The
filter converts the log files into "standard" error messages of
the form:

[Error|Warning] [FileReference] [Line No]: [Standardized Message]
   Context Reference

Sample:
Error yourfile.tex 18: Undefined control sequence
  a representative line of text from yourfile \hfffill

Once error files of this form are created, most modern
programmer's editors can automatically snap to the `next' and
`previous' errors in the error log file and the source code.
I've tested the program on some large LaTeX and plain TeX files,
which consist of many input files.  The system will snap directly
to the source file line, containing the error, with the editor I
use.

I've tested the code under DOS, OS/2 and Linux (aka UNIX).

Also, the source code for the program was developed using
NOWEB, the literate programming tool developed by Norman Ramsey
and ported to DOS by Lee Wittenberg. People interested in
literate programming might find the documentation helpful.

Installation and Usage:

  DOS Users:

    Create a seperate directory for TeXFILT, if you wish.

    Copy TeXFILT3.ZIP to that directory.

    Use "pkunzip -d texfilt3" to extract the subdirectories
    correctly.

    If you plan to use the compiled version of the program,
    place "texfilt.exe" in a directory searched by you path.

    Use the following command with an awk interpreter to convert
    a TeX log file:

      awk -f texfilt.awk YOURFILE.LOG > x.err

    The compiled version can be executed with:

      texfilt YOURFILE.LOG > x.err

  Unix Users:

    Create a seperate directory for TeXFILT, if you wish.

    Copy TeXFILT3.ZIP to that directory.

    Use "unzip -d texfilt3" to extract the subdirectories
    correctly.

    A compiled version does not exist for UNIX. The only file
    you actually need to keep is "texfilt.awk". All of the
    other files are there for documentation and demonstration
    purposes.

    Use the following command with an awk interpreter to convert
    a TeX log file:

      awk -f texfilt.awk YOURFILE.LOG > x.err

Printing the DVI File:

If you want to print the texfilt.dvi file at your site you'll
have to take a couple of extra steps.
  1. Copy the `tfm' files in the fonts sub-directory to your
     local directory for tfm files.
  2. Copy the `pk' files in the fonts sub-directory to your
     local location for 300dpi pixel files.
