    /doc/help	render.texxml.pl 
  Log:
  A glorified shell script that accepts a texxml file name as input, and automates the
  process of generating a PostScript file from it. Works on my system...

use strict;
use Fcntl;
use POSIX qw(tmpnam);

if ( scalar(@ARGV) < 2 and 0 )
{
    print (<<USAGE);
Usage: $0 texxml_file_name or
       perl $0 -- texxml_file_name
       where "texxml_file_name" does not include the .texxml suffix
Output: texxml_file_name.dvi

$0 renders texxml files into dvi files by copying the tex file
resulting from from texxml2latex.pl and the referenced eps files
into a temporary directory and running LaTeX on the .tex file.

Must be run as somebody with permissions to write temp files and 
access /home/httpd/html/adm/help/eps.
USAGE

    exit();
