This is release 2.4 of the mk script.
LICENSE: GPL

Short description:
mk is a Ruby script that, in close collaboration with vpp (short for View and Print PDF/PostScript),
is helpful in the cyclic process of editing, viewing, and printing a latex/xelatex/plain document.
Essentially, mk uses texi2dvi for compilation, vpp for viewing and printing.

mk has been tested under Linux only.
