- What I would like to get is GML source. This would allow one to add
- and/or change material to meet local needs, and print the manuals
- using whatever process is available for GML documents (DCF and
- Waterloo SCRIPT being the obvious choices, but there are others).
-
- DVI files or PostScript files are the equivalent of OCO; they can't
- be modified in any reasonable way.
