[pilot-db-list] Beginnings of DB documentation

[Mike R. <mik...@al...>]

Hi,

I have placed the rudiments of formal documentation into the docs
directory on CVS (db_docs.lyx and db_docs.pdf). Since I am actively
involved in the doc team of the Open Source document processor LyX
(www.lyx.org), I have naturally chosen that to write with, though I can be
convinced to use other things (but NOT MS Word!). I have converted it to
PDF, so everyone else can read what I've done so far.

It's _really_ rudimentary at this point - little more than a cat of
README, building.txt, format.txt, and translating.txt. I next intend to
paste in pieces of db.rcp, then add the converter documents. Then I hope
to smooth it into a readable, useful document. :-)

Let me know what you think (form, appearance, choice of LyX, etc.). I like
and use db a lot (almost hourly at times), so I'd like to make a
worthwhile contribution.

Mike
