Message-ID: <8909290636.AA04602@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU> Date: 28 Sep 89 15:00:47 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 32 Karl Auerbach has proposed that postscript RFC's be banned, presumably because trying to index keywords in a postscript file is a pain, and not because he feels that postscript printers are too obscure. (is that right?) I don't mind postscript format, but I think the question of keyword indexing should be addressed. It would be useful if authors of any document that is shipped in postscript were to add a postscript prologue to the file with the proper keyword indexes. A standard postscript prologue goes something like; %%Begin Keywords %%topic: interfaces checksum rfc1001 netbios smb %%relatedto: udp ip rfc1002 %%End Keywords By standard, I mean the double % and the begin and end blocks. I probably don't have the version 2.0 ESPF format quite right, but the idea is the same anyway. It'd be easy to strip out sets of keywords (do we need an RFC to describe the standard for key words?) and items prefaced by % won't upset the postscript printer either. comments? | Brad Clements bkc@omnigate.clarkson.edu bkc@clutx.bitnet | Network Engineer Clarkson University (315)268-2292 ------------------- Meet me at Interop '89 ---------------------------------
