It's not quite what you want .. but .. There's an all 3 BSDs leaflet at http://berklix.org/bim/leaflet/ It's in German but, before you think `useless for Canada', I guess a lot of the work in a leaflet is deciding on format & content & tools & getting Makefile right etc, so you may like to take a quick look. BSD buzzwords/ acronyms are the same anyway. It produces a nice format: landscape sheet with double vertical fold, leaflet style, red demon on front, swatting a fly from Windows. It was written by Oliver Fromme for a trade show 18 months ago. Rainer Duffner, also of our Munich BSD user group is doing a merge of 2 versions. I've cc'd both. If you really want an English version of our leaflet for use this next weekend, I could try to squeeze time this week, & do an English translation by Fri., (I'm English, but been in Germany a long time) But it'd only make sense to do such a rush job if I get: - Assurance you'd actually want it for this w/end, & not just prefer to do your own FreeBSD specific version (in which case I'd still suggest look at Oliver's leaflet producing Makefile etc, even if the German text is not of interest. - From Rainer: - Confirmation if he's got a freeze point he could release to me. - His agreement on how best I should expand a single to a dual language version, with common formatting directives & acronyms/numbers etc, so neither German nor English will easily suffer future bit rot after I give it back to him after weekend. (BTW Rainer, Re. tools, FYI I currently use as filters m4 to maintain a dual language version of http://berklix.org/bim/ top page, http://berklix.com/~jhs/src/bsd/jhs/bin/public/le/le.c to maintain a dual language version of my (groff sourced) CV I don't know Tek, but I guess I can learn fast (after all I don't need to change anything, just wrap dual language le or m4 filtering around chunks of dual language text & existing format directives. Let me know if you need a rush job by Friday then :-) Julian Stacey jhs @ berklix.com Computer Systems Engineer, Unix & Net Consultant, Munich. Ihr Rauchen => mein allergischer Kopfschmerz !
