RM95 in info format ?

RM95 in info format ?

[Jerry van Dijk]

Does anyone know if there is a info (or tex) version of the rm95 anywhere
to be had ?

RM95 was developed using "scribe" which is a text formatter similar
to TeX and a few others.  The "scribe" input is available on
sw-eng.falls-church.va.us in the directory:

  ftp://public/adaic/standards/95lrm_rat/v6.0.scribe

This scribe input could be converted to TeX-compatible input using
an appropriate number of Perl/Awk/Sed scripts, probably.  If you were
to do the work, I am sure several people would be interested (i.e.,
don't keep it a secret).

In any case, Scribe was used to generate Postscript, which may be found in:

  ftp://public/adaic/standards/95lrm_rat/v6.0.compressed

Magnus Kempe from the Technical University of Lausanne (EPFL) converted
the output into HTML format, and made it available on the epfl web site:

I hope this helps...

I'm no TeX expert by any definition, but my dear brother always claimed
to be one... I'll try to get him interested in the challenge :-)

Thanks.

I've seen HTML->LaTeX filters around, so ftp the HTML version of rm95
(someone has a perl script that does that), and try that.  From memory,
there's a link to the HTML site from the Ada Core WWW page.

That might indeed be a idea. I already use the html version (with lynx as the
browser) under linux. But I have a nagging suspicion that makeinfo needs TeX
not LaTeX. Although, there should be a way, I think...

I'll look into it.
