Description: 
      LameTeX can convert simple LaTeX to PostScript or to ASCII.
	 It specializes in complete versatility of the printed page. The
	 standard model for text formatters is that every page is
	 necessarily rectangular. LameTeX will let you format text inside
	 These flexible arbitrarily-shaped margins are PostScript paths.
	 If you don't know PostScript, it contains a big library of
	 interesting LameTeX page margins. With LameTeX you can fit
	 easily make index cards, labels, and half-pages of text.
	 Also, if you know how to write programs in PostScript, LameTeX
	 allows you to very tightly integrate your LameTeX commands with
	 your PostScript code. In fact, the PostScript that LameTeX
	 it yourself and see how it's done. LameTeX is written with
	 PostScript version 1, so it should run on all PostScript
	 printers.
	 Finally, everything about LameTeX is set up to be compatible with
	 LaTeX. LameTeX can't do everything that LaTeX can, but the
	 special stealth commands guarantee that your fancy LameTeX
	 share it with anyone who doesn't happen to have LameTeX.
