First, go to the Grutatxt page here to find out what Grutatxt is and what it does.
Grutatxt does not directly support Windows, so there's some software you'll have to install and configure first:
make is required. A version called nmake for Windows can be downloaded from this page. Then double-click nmake15.exe, which is a self-extracting archive, (don't blink!) and move the resulting NMAKE.EXE and NMAKE.ERR files to Perl\bin.
tar and gz file extensions. Read about tar.gz files here.
If you haven't already, download Grutatxt-2.0.13.tar.gz from the
link above. If associated with 7-Zip, its icon should look like a regular folder with a little
G (for gz, or gzip) in a box on it. Double-click on it, and
7-Zip will launch and decompress it transparently. In the file list
window, you should now see another folder icon, this time with a T for tar.
Double-click to extract it (un-tar), and now you see the folder
itself. Select it, click the Copy button, and click OK to put it in
the same directory.
Now cd to the Grutatxt-2.0.13 folder. If you've never worked with
the command prompt before, read this and come back.
Type edit makefile.pl and replace /usr/local/bin with /WINNT.
Close the editor. Now open the Grutatxt-2.0.13 folder in an actual window.
If Makefile.PL has the Activestate icon, you may double-click it,
otherwise do perl makefile.pl at the prompt. Either action produces a
new file called makefile.
Now at the prompt type:
nmake
wait for the prompt to return, then:
nmake install
Now type grutatxt --help. If you see a list of command line options,
then you're all set. Read the readme file for the rest of the story.
