But by the 80's in between the PDP-10 and -11 there were some pretty wacky variations. If the features of the variations are used extensively they get in the way. I haven't tried making a "universal translator" in a while, maybe I can muster some time over the holidays :-). It was a good example because it was so big, but I'm sure that like most of the surrounding stuff it is sourced in INFO. info2html I see already exists, and it actually knows about all the nodes etc., which would make great anchors. I haven't tried taking any 80's era info files and running them through. At least some of the files in the archive that end with an .info extension are in fact info files that have already been rendered into something for a line printer. For better or worse, it's almost necessary to render all documents into html because if I serve them up with a .doc extension the browser thinks they're MS Word, if I serve them up with a .mac extension the browser think's they're some Quicktime file, etc. Mime-types works with sane browsers but 95% of the world is using Internet Exploder which decides to ignore mime-types most of the time. Very very frustrating. I eventually gave up on even serving them up with correct Mime-types because only a small fraction of browsers pays attention to those fields and all the others instead give precedence to the apparent extension. At this point I feel like part of the problem because I gave up on doing the right mime-type! Tim. Tim.
