What it is

As writing rules for the much-used online Turing Machine Simulator can be tedious, this small package parses JFLAP XML and converts it into a plain text file, ready to be pasted onto the website.

How to use

This package includes the binary jfts. You pass a JFLAP file to it as an argument, and a text file of the same name is saved in your working directory.

How not to use

Do not pass multi-tape JFLAP automata as arguments - it will most likely fail, as those are not yet fully implemented. Also do not pass no arguments at all or a file not compliant with XML standards - this script is a "quick and dirty" one and outputs errors directly to stderr.
