I'm looking for a PostScript version of the Ada Rationale to print it
out. I followed the instructions on
http://www.adahome.com/LRM/95/Rationale/Postscript/ to modify the
files but couldn't view them with a modern version of GhostView (the
PS files seem to be from 1995) on Linux or NT. I sent a mail to the
maintainer on that website, but he didn't answer and I'd like to have
it as soon as possible. Does anyone have a working copy mirrored?
Is this Rationale available in A4 format? Not important, but more
convenient ;-)
Regards,
Marco

The adahome site is a mirror. The "original" site is:
http://www.adaic.org/standards/ada95.html
This provides access to a number of Ada 95-related standards. If you
know you want a "zip" of the postscript of the rationale, you can
go directly to:
http://www.adaic.org/standards/95rat/RATzip/ps/rat_all.ps.zip

There is a version of the Reference Manual in A4 format, but not one
for the Rational, as far as I know. Springer-Verlag sells a hard-copy
of the Ada 95 Rationale, if you want to have a nicely-bound version.
Note that the Rationale was produced using Microsoft Word, and the
Postscript it generates sometimes gives other tools hiccoughs (no big
surprise about that, I suppose).

You have two different standards for what constitutes Postscript --
the Document and a program called GhostView. Is there any reason to
believe that a Postscript printer would side with GhostView rather
than the Document ?
