Archive-name: supreme-court/08-Oct-90 Original-posting-by: rbj@uunet.UU.NET (Root Boy Jim Cottrell) Original-subject: SUPREME COURT OPINIONS Now Being Posted Archive-site: uunet.uu.net [192.48.96.2] Archive-directory: court-opinions Reposted-by: emv@math.lsa.umich.edu (Edward Vielmetti) We have finally decoded (mostly, more about that later) the format of the Supreme Court opinions and will be posting the old ones as they are converted. They will also be available via anonymous FTP in the directory court-opinions. The opinions are in troff'able format. At this point they are fairly complete, except for the footnote macros. I plan on converting to an existing package sometime soon. The opinions are translated from a PC word processing package by a FLEX program I wrote, so that's why the body of the opinions are formatted so screwy. The macros at the top are my own. They could be a lot better, but then, so could my knowlege of troff. Nevertheless, a readable document is produced. However, each opinion is a new adventure in 8 bit ASCII. Occaisionally, a stray character, meaningless phrase, or a bad word/line/page break may slip thru. Sometimes these are denoted by sequences containing @ signs. If anyone finds any such sequences, please notify me. I will be away at a conference until Monday 10/15. Jim Cottrell <rbj@uunet.uu.net> -- Root Boy Jim Cottrell <rbj@uunet.uu.net>
