2649.0. "ARP 1.3 doc?" by WJG::GUINEAU () Thu Jun 15 1989 23:01


in WJG::AMUSE: there is a file that is some sort of ARP 1.3 docs.

There are 2 files:

		WJG::AMUSE:ARP13.SH		shar acrhive
		WJG::AMUSE:ARP-13.TEX		LaTeX input file.


TeX input? I tried to get DOCUMENT to convert it for me, but it complains about
some lines and I don;t know Tex/LaTeX so take em for what there worth...

It was John Dutka and he used LaTeX...

Since this is of general use to the Amiga community (and since it's
only 20k), I've enclosed his file below.  It's also available via
anonymous ftp from xanth.cs.odu.edu as /amiga/arp-1.3.tex.Z ...

These are not the official docs, but are a clever immitation.  I don't
use ARP, so I can't tell how good these docs are, but they do print
correctly here.

2649.1Converting the file is straightforwardLEVERS::PLOUFFGlorious Blossoms -- Ah-ah-ah-choo!Fri Jun 16 1989 13:1918
    If Latex is up on your system this file should work with no problems.
    Just be careful to strip off anything before the beginning of the
    TeX stuff and anything after "end {document}".  The procedure I
    use is:
    
    	$LATEX ARP-13
    	$DVI2LN3 ARP-13 /H=0 /V=0
    	$PRINT/QUE=xxx_LN03/NOFEED/PASSALL ARP-13.LN3
    
    Afterward you will see a lot of miscellaneous auxiliary files to
    clean up.
    
    FWIW, John Dutka took the plain ASCII docs, played a bit with the
    layout and section headers, and let his file loose.  It looks better
    than straight line printer output, but not as good as a real technical
    document.

2649.2anyone have it converted?CIMNET::KYZIVATPaul KyzivatSat Jun 17 1989 03:474
    Does anyone have this available in LN03 or Postscript format?
    LATEX isn't installed on my system.

2649.3ARP-13.LN03WJG::GUINEAUTue Jun 20 1989 00:1311
A friend converted this for us:

	WJG::AMIGA:ARP-13.LN03

It's only a few pages, but appears to address *changes* in 1.3  rather
than reproducing the whole manual set.


Enjoy!

2649.4ARPDOC3.ZOO on NORSE::LOWLIF::DAVISThat's not a BUG, it's a FEATURE!Mon Jul 03 1989 03:3110
Ladies and Gentlemen!  Straight from Kansas City, those doc of docs, lets
all put our hands together and welcome ARPDOC3.ZOO to NORSE::AMIGA:[UPLOAD]!

ARPDOC3.ZOO contains the user documentation for ARP V1.3.  By user docu-
mentation, I mean it has the docs for all the ARP commands.  If I see any
programmer docs, I'll post another reply.

Modem on dudes!
