Actually, it is not anyone's stupidity but my use of scientific jargon. A preprint is a copy of a paper prior to its publication. It has the virtue that the author still owns the copyright. A reprint is a copy of the paper made after publication. Reprints are often printed copies of the papers, which are sold by the publishers to the authors. They were an excellent business for publishers. Parenthetically, there is another relevant term, disintermediation. This means eliminating the publisher entirely, usually by publishing the material on the web. -----Original Message----- From: comp.lang.ada-admin@ada.eu.org [mailto:comp.lang.ada-admin@ada.eu.org] On Behalf Of chris.danx Sent: Friday, May 31, 2002 5:36 PM To: comp.lang.ada@ada.eu.org Subject: Re: [OT] Switching to Linux (was: Microsoft takes on ACT) "Robert C.
