I, too, would like to see Strawman, Woodenman, Tinman, Ironman, and
the four "color" languages on-line. Obviously I think key historical
documents are useful, because I scanned in Steelman earlier!
If anyone does this, I encourage you to create an HTML version in
which people can link to specific chapters or requirements.
I did this with Steelman, as described in detail in
http://www.adahome.com/History/Steelman/intro.htm
For example, a link to
http://www.adahome.com/History/Steelman/steelman.htm#3-2C
brings up requirement 3-2C (which requires a Boolean type).
The short perl script I used to create these internal links is in:
http://www.adahome.com/History/Steelman/mklinks
Mklinks is a text filter. Its input is an HTML file, which
takes bolded headings beginning with numbers and creates
an equivalent named anchor. Use it if you find it useful!
