In looking through varous notes, can I correctly assume that there is
no Bliss documentation on line that I can print out?

I'm being asked, and will probably take my ancient Bliss manual to
the copy center if I can't find something I can print out instead.

Thanks,
Charlie

The documentation (and the compiler) is on the Freeware CDROM.

637.7PostScript (.PS) versions available?HANNAH::SCHULLMANDan SchullmanMon Feb 10 1997 19:585
Any chance that PostScript versions of the docs are around somewhere?
Among other things, I'd like to convert the .PS files to .PDF format.

						Thanks,

Thanks to Dan Schullman, the BLISS docs are now available in Acrobat3 format.
The BLISS-32 User Manual is TLE::BLISS$:[BLISS.DOC]B32UMAN.PDF.
The BLISS Language Reference is TLE::BLISS$:[BLISS.DOC]BLSLREF.PDF.

Subj:	RE: BLISS docs in .PS format

Gerald,

	Thanks for the pointers.  I just converted them over to Acrobat3
	format and seem able to read them just fine.  [See www.adobe.com to
	get a free copy of the Adobe Acrobat Reader for PCs, MACs, etc.]

	*NOTE* that the first time I pulled the PDFs up, they took a while
	to view.  I'm not sure why, but exiting the reader and looking at
	them again later did NOT have this delay.  I thought that maybe it
	had hung my system, as you had talked about it hanging the CDA
	PostScript viewer on the original .PS files.

	Some advantages of having them as PDF files... you can then print
	portions (or all) of the manuals, and also use Acrobat's search
	capabilities to look for specific stuff.  I believe that what
	remains of the BLISS community will appreciate having access to
	the docs once again.

						Thanks again,
						  Dan S.

Assuming there _is_ a next Freeware CD-ROM, I don't see why not.
