Well, I had planned on scanning the device driver docs using some OCR software but apparently, there is no need for this according to the last posting from Kris Kugel. (kak@hico2.westmark.com) He and another apparently have typed it in by now. I had asked for requests as to how the community would like it formatted and so that information doesn't go to waste, here are the results: Format Number of Votes troff ms 8 troff mm 1 tex 1 latex 0 It was generally prefered that they not be just obtainable in postscript form but instead that some form of source was distributed. If anyone has any other ideas for 3b1 documents for me to scan, I'm willing to take other suggestions. Tom Pusateri Duke University pusateri@nbsr.duke.edu

At least in 3.5.1.4 it didn't.

The ms macros are public domain. You can snarf them from the freed BSD sources on uunet (pub/bsd-sources/something). ################################# :alex. #Disclaimer: Anyone who agrees # Systems Programmer #with me deserves what they get.# University of Maryland Baltimore County ################################# alex@umbc3.umbc.edu

I think most people suggested troff ms macros because it was easy to get a hold of. Any BSD derived system comes with them and the FSF's groff also now includes ms macros. They may be freely obtainable from uunet, I can't remember where I saw them. On the other hand, unless you already have another AT&T system with mmt then getting mm macros would either be expensive or illegal. Tom Pusateri Duke University

I, along with Alan Lundin, DID type the entire thing in recently, and we can make the text available. There's still some tweaking on the mm version, and some wholesale editing on my part will have to be done before we can geneate ms macro version. I posted a message about this a little while ago. I got some replys, but I've seen NONE of the messages in this thread prior to this one. Could somebody update me on this? I've hit some snags, mostly involving poor printer interfaces and a lack of time, but this should become available REAL soon, and I've already got one volunteer for a anomyn. uucp site to put it for later pick up. Anyhow, that's the plan. Kris A. Kugel ( 908 ) 842-2707 uunet!tsdiag.ccur.com!hico2!kak {daver,ditka,zorch}!hico2!kak internet: kak@hico2.westmark.com
