I have just compiled dvitty and filtered the infamous form.dvi into good 'ol form.asc i.e. plain ascii file. You may have to fiddle with end of line (unix vs tos \r\n vs \n stuff) but its done. (well sort of done -- the dvitty driver crashed while doing the index - jeez how many contributors give ya such a nice manual with an index even! The last I can remember was UNITERM) The arc'd (that ok?) file is 163K so if some ONE will give me an I net address for anon ftp I'll put it out there where it can be accessed. ___________________________________________________________ |Mike Whitbeck | | |Desert Research Inst. | mikew@wheeler.wrc.unr.edu | |POB 60220 | | |RENO, NV 89506 | 702-673-7348 | |__________________________|______________________________| Any simple problem can be made insoluble if enough committee meetings are held to discuss it.

I put a copy on the TERMINATOR archive in atari/new/formdoc.arc I also am mailing a copy for posting in the binaries newsgroup. BTW- I fixed the index the manual is 253 pages long with index and table of contents.

The last I can remember was UNITERM) Yes, when the Uniterm docs were released as a .dvi file, there were many screams and yells. I offered to print up and sell copies at cost, but nobody took me up on it. I must say that the Uniterm manual did look quite nice. Fortunately, now anyone with a SLM804 can print the .dvi files easily, and anyone with a monochrome screen can preview them. ------ Greg Lindahl
