I would therefore strongly urge someone who already has DocBook and TeX functioning on their machines to help out. We could do something like I periodically update the docbook, and someone else periodically sends me the TeX version thereof to post, or whatever. (Oh, and the font definitions in the print stylesheet driver have to be modified to something TeX understands, like, oh I dunno, Computer Modern :-1/2 .) At any rate, the output of jadetex is accessible as http://www.opoudjis.net/lojbanbrochure/lojbanLevel0.doc.{dvi|aux|tex}. Maybe someone here can salvage it yet... -- Momenton senpretende paseman mi retenis kaj # NICK NICHOLAS. kultis kvazaux # TLG, UCI, USA. senhorlogxan elizeon # www.opoudjis.net (Dume: # nicholas@uci.edu [Victor Sadler, _Memkritiko_ 90] #
