1 Welcome to the OS-9 documentation effort. The motivation behind scanning
|
|
2 and reissuing the documentation is that without documentation no new
|
|
3 users will discover OS-9. This little operating system is more than 20
|
|
4 years old, and we want it to be here for at least another 20 years.
|
|
5
|
|
6 We have therefore tried to find the most durable and rich format
|
|
7 for documents possible. DocBook is more than 10 years old. Older than
|
|
8 MS-Word. It began in 1991 as a joint project of HaL Computer Systems and
|
|
9 O'Reilly. It will very likely be around in 2020 also. If it isn't it is
|
|
10 a text-based format, so it is possible to reverse-engineer and convert
|
|
11 the format.
