Re: ANNOUNCE: Free GNU Ada Run-Time Book (version 0.7) - Thanks!

In reply to: Peter Herman, Jim Rogers, Warren W.Gay, and Jeffrey D.Cherry:

   The PDF file was generated by the ps2pdf filter which comes with the
Linux Debian 3.0 distribution. I just checked it with the acrobat reader
available for Linux and (erroneously!) I assummed it was well generated.
I will try to solve this problem today !

    I am already cooking the donwloadable HTML version. It is 5MB length
organized in several directories. Therefore I have to write a small bash 
program
which modifies the links of the html sources to simplify the installation.

   Thank you very much for your comments (and for your "thanks") !!
