The old wsuipa phonetic fonts often don't compile on newer TeX installations. The wsuipa fonts were superseded by the tipa fonts. The wsu2tipa program translates a LaTeX file with wsuipa font commands into a file with tipa font commands. To compile on Unix: flex -B -8 wsu2tipa.l gcc -s -Wall -o wsu2tipa lex.yy.c -lfl rm lex.yy.c If you have a C compiler, but no Flex, you can use the pre-flexed file wsu2tipa.c -- Peter Kleiweg http://www.let.rug.nl/~kleiweg/
