% This file runs the "*.tex" to "redhelp.rtf" conversion code in CSL.
% As well as providing the top level direction to the process it patches
% up for at least some of the places where the conversion code had been
% written in a manner not strongly related to the portability objectives
% of Standard Lisp...
