And when I have been proposing a patch to db2ps to make it work with alternate stylesheets, I never had any answer, but maybe Mark was too busy to integrate this patch. > Instead of announcing you are going to maintain those > scripts, why not ask Marks if you can send some patches to him or get > cvs access to make some changes. You can see by the number of people Done. I've been asking this directly to Mark a few weeks ago. Again, no answer. Mark may be on holliday, though. I did not want to make my projects public, because I wanted to hear Mark's opinion before, but people were wondering what existed as docbook tools, and some were starting to say that they did not use them. I don't think that CVS concurrent access for me would be a good idea, because the changes are too radical to be done without approval from Mark. > already asking you for tarballs that this can cause a split in the > project.

I just tried to do something simple, clean and robust that would need less hacking. -- Eric Bischoff - Documentation and Localization Caldera (Deutschland) GmbH - Linux for Business!
