We weren't intending to withhold the docs, its just that we didn't figure the Bookmaster source was useful to anyone but us (and then only marginally so - the conversions from Bookmaster were a black art I never knew) and didn't have the resources to convert it to anything else more useful. So since the docs were freely available in useful form and not useful in source form, I guess I just never got around to releasing them. As it is, I think the current HTML source has to be considered definitive, and if anyone is interested in converting to a more standard form, that ought to be the place to start. David, are you amenable to putting your version into CVS?
I came across http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc , which says it: o Converts HTML files to PDF or PostScript o Generates a table-of-contents for books o Generates indexed HTML files o Generates files on-the-fly for web applications, from the commandline for batch jobs, or from a GUI for interactive work. o Runs on most UNIX/Linux and Windows operating systems o Provides a command-line interface for batch and WWW applications. o Provides a graphical interface for interactive work. I haven't tested it myself, but it sounds promising, doesn't it? With David's up-to-date HTML manuals, this could do the job for new, up-to-date manuals in PDF and PS format. A way to go for creating new manuals and inviting users to report bugs in the documentation? Regards, Rob.
