Let me be clearer about this. There is a file called doc.tar.Z
which exists on all four servers:
lirmm.lirmm.fr (193.49.104.10) in pub/acedb/ace2
cele.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk (131.111.84.1) in pub/acedb/ace2
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov (130.14.20.1) in repository/acedb/ace2
bioinformatics.weizmann.ac.il (132.76.55.12) in pub/databases/acedb/ace2
This file when uncompressed and untar'ed has a variety of
documentation. The files syntax.ps and syntax.tex document
the query languate. But I cannot print them! My HP laserjet
4M printer which seems happy with most standard PostScript
files complains and will not print the .ps files --though it
does print the Postscript output of ACEDB. I am not a TeX
maven, but I tried to convert the .tex file to PostScript
using LaTex and dvips but could not as both programs gave
error messages.
So, how do I print these files? Is there any documentation
for the query builder?
--bks
p.s. I do have hardcopy of the 10 Dec 92 document
"Syntactic Definitions for the ACEDB Data Base Manager"
but I have a feeling that this was given to me as
hardcopy.
