Thanks Andreas, I tried to turn the postscript file into an ascii file, but had not been successful.
This is what I did: - cat Crochemore_Landau_Ziv-Ukelson_algorithm.ps | strings shortens the file but damages it. The resultinhg file cannot be viewed with ghostview - Replace non-asci by an arbitrary letter. I tried filter perl -i.bak -pe 's/[^[:graph:]]/A/g' I think I should give up here and decide not to include the file. I could add the publisher URL instead http://www.arnetminer.org/viewpub.do?pid=610321 Cheers Christoph > Hi Christoph, > > I checked neobio packagin again and just added a doc-base file.
