Ada 95 Quality and Style Guide - PDF version

[Daniel Dudley]

AFAIK, Software Productivity Consortium holds the
copyright to the Ada 95 Quality and Style Guide, yet a
HTML version is freely available at:

    http://www.adaic.com/docs/95style/html/cover.html

SPC offer a $30 hardback version.

Would anyone care to venture the copyright repercussions of
making available a free PDF version of the Ada 95 Quality
and Style Guide?

If there are no repercussions, where is the best place (URL)
to host it?

Daniel

Perhaps the best statement comes from the cover of the document
iself, viz.:

Along with Postscript and Word 95 versions.

We'd be happy to add that to the AdaIC. Indeed, I've been making .pdfs
out of the (single) postscript files that I run across on the AdaIC
site. But I haven't figured out Acrobat enough to figure out a good way
to convert a large batch of files as exists for the Style Guide.

Ok, Randy, your wish is my command -- it's done! ;-)
