+A note to former Gnutex users, from David Kotz (David.Kotz@Dartmouth.edu).
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+May 30, 1991
+
+GNUTeX was merged with GNUPLOT beginning with GNUPLOT 2.0.  Many
+aspects of gnutex 1.6 made it into GNUPLOT 2.0. Unfortunately for
+those of us who have a lot of gnutex input files around, not
+everything from gnutex is supported by GNUPLOT. To help gnutex users
+with the process of adapting to GNUPLOT (and I recommend it), I have
+included a section in the LaTeX/GNUPLOT tutorial (in ./docs/latextut/)
+about the differences, and written a translator program.  Please read
+the LaTeX/GNUPLOT tutorial.
+
+The translator was available as part of the GNUPLOT 2.0 release, but
+has been removed from the standard distribution of GNUPLOT.  The
+translator is now available for anonymous ftp from cs.duke.edu as
+dist/sources/gnuplot/gnut2p.tar.Z. It has not changed since GNUPLOT
+2.01 (ie, GNUPLOT 2.0 patchlevel 1).
+
+Users of gnutex that did not use the LaTeX driver will probably have
+little difficulty adapting.
+
+Please send all comments, complaints, and suggestions on this subject
+to David.Kotz@Dartmouth.edu.
