[aplusdev] A+ font in PDF version of manuals

Yes, I'm returning back to TeX after a while and the problem number one is
APL symbols
processing. I now use the simplest approach without using any special font,
but with
creating APL symbols using LaTeX macros. It works well. I am in position to
write A+
script for automatic conversion of A+ code to this LaTeX style.

Yes, I used it with pleasure in DOS and OS/2 times. It was EmTeX distro and
it still works.
The problem is to make it workable for teTeX under Linux and fpTeX under
Windows.
I'm lazy enough to give it a try. What TeX system do you use?

Now, the problem is solved with the new version of pdf manuals. Why spend
significant
amount of time for this transformation? But for the future documents about
A+
we do need a good way to create them in TeX.

I just uploaded them on my ftp (they replaced zips of pdf, which John
already
took to aplusdev site).
