Last year while I was in the DC area, I stopped by OMNICOM to pick up some of our Blue Books that had just "Floated In" (I.E. Slow Boat from Europe). I asked them about the chances of these standards comming out in PostScript or another common format (I'd take TROFF if it was available). They said don't hold your breath for it in the next 5 years or so. It seems that this has been discussed by the different groups of Standards Bodies can not agree on what standard to publish them in. I had gotten a Draft ISO to review and it was in PostScript but there are no plans (as of last june) to let people FTP or FTAM the standards. Things might have changed since last June but since we are still waioting for the 1988 Blue Books still (some are still not published) I'm not holding my breath. -- Bill Lewandowski LORAL Western Development Labs (408) 473-4362 Internet: wrl@wdl1.wdl.loral.com FAX: (408) 473-7926 UUCP: wdl1!wrl
