Re: new manual

[Felix Franz <fefr@gmx.net>]

Hi Nigel,

you can start the script as a parameter to ruby:

bash-2.05a$ ruby texsync.rb --update --force --destination=/tmp/textest

or you add a line to texsync.rb (has to be the first line) to tell your 
unix which interpreter to run:

#!/usr/bin/ruby

then you can start it simply with:

bash-2.05a$ texsync.rb --update --force --destination=/tmp/textest



Hope this helps,


felix
