- Here are the sources for the documents. All documents are:
-
- Copyright (c) Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam, 1984.
-
- The documents are:
-
- Bproject:
- aim and status of the B project;
- BugReport:
- example bug report form;
- Description*:
- description of the B programming language;
- QuickRef:
- quick reference card for the B system;
- UsersGuide.ms:
- users guide for the B programming language;
-
- To reproduce all documents, type 'make print'. Individual documents can be
- printed with e.g. 'make usersguide', without capitals, and without suffix.
-
- Except for Bproject and BugReport they all use a special B font, for B
- programming text. Such text appears between the string brackets <: and
- :>, e.g. \*(<:PUT a IN b\*(:>. In the file bfont.def these strings are
- defined such as to use the constant width CW font as the B font. If
- your installation doesn't support this font, ask your local typeset
- guru whether there is any other constant width font around. Check that
- all the following characters are on the font:
-
- !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?
- @ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_
- `abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~
-
- Otherwise you will have to do with just roman \fR.
-
- Instead of printing the documents yourself, you can order them from the
- CWI. See the OrderForm in this directory, which points to other documents
- on B as well.
