And a nasty surprise too.

Those pages are the reason body.ps doesn't conform to the comment
conventions required to make psnup work.  As far as I've been able to
determine, the following ed script (produced with diff -e) fixes this.
It can be used as the standard input of `patch body.ps'.

FYI, anyone else trying to print body.ps "two pages per sheet" using
"psnup -2" from the "psutils" package (ftp://ftp.dcs.ed.ac.uk/pub/ajcd/)
note that pages 165 and 168 (corresponding to 10-3 and 10-6) will not
print.  I don't know if it's a bug in psnup/psselect or if those pages
are not strictly correct Postscript, but you should leave those pages
out when printing the doubled-up version (use psselect).  You can
instead print those pages using the Adobe Acrobat version (body.pdf).

I had no problems.  I generated the postscript from the pdf file using
acrobat 3.0, and used psnup -n 2 to process it.  The psutils I have
has a readme dated 7 April 1992; this is probably the same version you
have, unless it's been updated in the last year.

Note that I did have exactly the problem you're talking about with the
previous version of the draft.

You may try getting the latest version of acrobat, and see if
producing the postscript from that fixes the problem.  Note that
postscript produced by acrobat 3.0 trips a bug in ghostscript 4.03,
but the document should print fine nonetheless.  It's also possible
that your printer is not level 2, and the figures for some reason
require level 2.

If none of this works, write me and we'll figure out a way to get the
postscript to you.  Note that the From: address on this note is
invalid.  Take my first and last names, insert a period, and use the
address `cern.ch'.

In January I posted the press release announcing the availability of
the C++ Committee Draft for public comment. At the time, the only
way to get a copy of the draft was to purchase one from ANSI or from
Global Documents.

ISO policy as of last year was to prohibit free access to these
documents except to committee members. I was assured at that time
the although the policy might be reviewed and might be changed in
the future, there was no possibility that the policy would
change before the end of the C++ public comment period.

ISO has changed its policy sooner than anyone thought possible, and
copies of the Committee draft are now available for downloading.

You can find complete instructions on downloading a copy of the draft
and the procedure for submitting comments at:
