This is very nice. Would you mind posting a few sentences about how you
did the conversion? As far as I'm aware, the manual is only available
in PDF and PS formats online, were you able to locate a TeX version (or
some other format)?

Interesting. Are there any other manuals that you're planning to
convert in this manner? 

Hopefully, this work is part of preparation for a new lisp machine OS
that is just about to be announced? ;-)

Cheers,
