More on that, every eCos documentation file warn you Distribution of substantively modified versions of this document is prohibited without the explicit permission of the copyright holder. Distribution of the work or derivative of the work in any standard (paper) book form is prohibited unless prior permission is obtained from the copyright holder. Of course, if you can get HTML, then you would lanch Office, open any html file and save it in desired format. You would use CL tools to convert HTML in other texts or blobs using some of the converters, but read above. > Well, back to the problem: Has anybody a hint why the sgml to pdf > fails? Thanks and best regards, Never try to get eCos PDF on Cygwin. But, I have no problem with PDF generation under Linux (some not every hour updated release :-) with jadetex.
