Hi,

[Porting TeXmacs to windows]

Just one thing: would it be easier to just first port a viewer or is it
the same ?
What's interest me here is to be able to tell ppl who use windows "I send
you this file" (a small convenient .tm format), "if you dont have texmacs,
there you can just download the viewer".

I wrote a very simple text I wanted to send recently. TeXmacs file was
14ko, generated pdf file was 150ko: I finally sent a text version...

By the way, [WISH] : "Export to Text", seems usefull.
Right now, I do:
1- Export to LaTeX
2- latex2html
3- lynx --dump
To get a text version of my document !
(the direct conversion to HTML doesnt worth  to be mentionned).

And OK, maybe I should subscribe to dev, but:
Is there a good reason for the document internal formating NOT being XML ?
Everything could be simpler then (conversion, and even visualisation with
any xml viewer).
