I've given my regrets for the Bristol meeting, but I'm printing out the documentation for a thorough read (UML/larch/OWL/RDF modelling and the like) and since other folks are likely to print it out for the plane ride, I encourage you to try this out: 1. print from your web browser, or use html2ps, or whatever; get it in DSC-happy .ps somehow. 2. use psbook to put them in order for booklet printing, and psnup to print them 2-up (this makes the font too small for some tastes) connolly@dirk:/tmp$ psbook webarch.ps | psnup -2 >webarch-bk2.ps [*] [1] [2] [*] [38] [3] [4] [37] [36] [5] [6] [35] [34] [7] [8] [33] [32] [9] [10] [31] [30] [11] [12] [29] [28] [13] [14] [27] [26] [15] [16] [25] [24] [17] [18] [23] [22] [19] [20] [21] Wrote 40 pages, 2169288 bytes [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] Wrote 20 pages, 2184399 bytes connolly@dirk:/tmp$ ggv webarch-bk2.ps It looks OK, so I stuck it on our web server: http://www.w3.org/2003/09/webarch-bk2.ps I also made a .pdf version: connolly@dirk:/tmp$ ps2pdf webarch-bk2.ps >webarch-bk2.pdf connolly@dirk:/tmp$ acroread webarch-bk2.pdf http://www.w3.org/2003/09/webarch-bk2.pdf 3. My printer doesn't do duplex printing, so I use psselect to overcome that: connolly@dirk:/tmp$ psselect -o webarch-bk2.ps | lp [1] [3] [5] [7] [9] [11] [13] [15] [17] [19] Wrote 10 pages, 1713978 bytes request id is jobieCups-105 (1 file(s)) then I turn the pages over and put them back in the printer... connolly@dirk:/tmp$ psselect -e webarch-bk2.ps | lp [2] [4] [6] [8] [10] [12] [14] [16] [18] [20] Wrote 10 pages, 505827 bytes request id is jobieCups-106 (1 file(s)) Then fold in half and staple at the spine. You now have a handy booklet to take on the plane or whatever. Here's a photo of a couple booklets I made yesterday to give you an idea of what it looks like http://www.w3.org/2003/09/booklet-shot.jpg -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/
