I'm sure enough to be willing to do it myself without further investigation. (afaIoact=as far as I or anyone can tell). No recinding of distributability was issued, and the draft was freely circulated, remains on a public FTP server, etc.
I think it's a safe bet.
Ok, here it is: http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/400 .
Curiously downloading the pdf-version hasn't worked for me, it just stopped a few percent before finishing (Netscape stalled) and finished then with removing the downloaded file; any idea?
So I have uploaded a gzipped pdf-version now: Downloading, gunzip'ing and acroread'ing has worked now.
Many megs have flown through the net for these checks...
Greetings,
Stephan
Cheers, Bijan.

Are you sure? If so, I have an acroread'able version standard_v1_9.PDF, which I could try to upload onto the Swiki...

The draft spec contains, afaik, no omissions or alterations, but adds "rationales" at varoius places, making it an interesting document in its own right.
Cheers, Bijan Parsia.

I have a copy., but the problem is that I had to pay 15$ for it. So I'm not sure it can or should be posted anywhere. If there is anything specific you need you can ask.

Does anyone have a copy of the ANSI draft in PDF format? My copy is on the other end of the continent on a computer that's turned off :(
Someone should post the PDF somewhere, and I'll try and find a place for it if I can. The so-called RTF version seems to only be usable from Microsoft Word, because the file has undocumented extensions in it.

Sound like a file mapping thing. The .pdf is mapped to open a certain app. If that fails netscape silently drops the file. Really annoying if you download something big over a slow modem.

Files with Mime type 'application/pdf' and ending 'pdf' are registered as 'Unknown:PromptUser'.
Probably I should use a newer version of Netscape Navigator...

PS: Some other communication about this issue:

I'm guessing there's a bad interaction between hte software you used to download, and Comanche. What software, exactly, did you use? I'll forward the info to the Comanche/Swiki maintainers to play with in case they ever have spare time again!

Dear Lex,
it's curious:
I was able to acroread my partially downloaded version with filesize -rw-r--r-- 1 sr users 1273856 Jul 1 21:59 standard_v1_9-indexed.pdf !
It's possible to see 3 references, probably some things in between can be wrong, though...
Then I was able to download the not indexed version locally http://localhost/doc/tmp/standard_v1_9.pdf from a web server at my own computer without any problems!
Don't have any further idea now... I will try it again later from minnow if it works again (currently refusing connections). Unfortunately this test is quiet expensive over my modem connection (have to download all of the file!).

Well if it's not downloading the whole thing that would certainly be bad. Hmm, the first lines of my file are:
%PDF-1.3^M%<E2><E3><CF><D3> 992 0 obj^M<< ^M/Linearized 1 ^M/O 994 ^M/H [ 14358 4716 ] ^M/L 1286333 ^M/E 119 361 ^M/N 304 ^M/T 1266374 ^M>> ^Mendobj^M
(where <E2>, etc, are characters with ASCII > 128).
These could be the same ones as them shown for me...

What software are you using to download things?

It worked okay, and I just tried again. The version of Netscape Navigator I used is:

I don't get the pdf-file fully downloaded at all: "99% of 1256k, stalled" was in the popup window, then it went further and removed the downloaded file!
But in between I have made a copy of the not fully downloaded one, it starts with:
%PDF-1.3^M%âãÏÓ 992 0 obj^M<< ^M/Linearized 1 ^M/O 994 ^M/H [ 14358 4716 ] ^M/L 1286333 ^M/E 119 0000014213 00000 n 0000019074 00000 n 0000019234 00000 n ...
Possibly this could give a hint?
What's the beginning of the correctly downloaded one?
I have had the same problem with my original uploaded file, the solution was to upload a gzip'ed version to the Swiki, whose downloading has worked for me.
