I also fixed the error which occured when generating the PDF output.
Apparently, pdflatex complained about 'old toc file exist'. So, I modified
the Makefile to remove $(CORE).toc before running pdflatex.

I'll check them in as well.

I just did.

If you look at the cppstnd.tex document, you'll find something like
"${}$Revision: 1.3 ${}$". This is a TeX trick which I learned from the
comp.text.tex newsgroup to incorporate RCS keyword in LaTeX documents.
The trick works for the .dvi, .ps. and .pdf output, but not for the .html
output.
latex2html convert the empty equations "${}$" to pictures and we can
see empty rectangles on the browser. Later on, one of the TeX gurus, Don
Arseneau, pointed me to rcs.sty. I tried it and it worked well.
However, rcs.sty is not part of the tetex instalation package.
How should we go about using this package? Should we put it under
htdocs/tex subdir or should we let the users install their own rcs.sty?
Another question: there are two date strings on the title. "May 8, 2000"
and "Documentation revised May 14, 2000". What are these dates? Which one
can be generated by RCS keyword $Date$?
Once the issues are finalized I'll make another cvs commit.

Frank tests RPM packages (can't test debian because I don't have it)
Frank Extracts and BVTs on compile farm
Frank Build tar.gz and docs
Figure 0.4.25 will go out by Saturday -0500 EST

I'll keep an eye out and then as long as Christophe doesn't complain
I'll get the 0.4.25 together (Docs + tar.gz) and let him have at
creating the packages. I then upload (ftp) to sourceforge and viola!

If re-distributing rcs.sty doesn't cause a license snafu in regards to
the CoreLinux LGPL, I have no problem with including it in htdocs/tex.
This is primarily for tarball or CVS grabs of the system, the doc
package I do just pulls the resulting *.dvi, *.pdf, etc.

There should be one date, the "Documentation revised" one with the RCS
$Date$. The other is a throw back to the StarOffice HTML editor macros,
long gone away now.
Thanks Hans!

you can put it in htdocs/tex
this is the place for tex/latex2html related files

the first date is the date of creation
the second dsate is the revision date
the second must be changed
Hans> Once the issues are finalized I'll make another cvs commit.
good
where are we on the packages side Frank ? did you have the time to check the packages
I put on corelinux.sourforge.net ?
what is the schedule for the next release?
