I've printed that article. Would it be possible for some LinuxDoc expert(s)
to convert my rtf file about "User Defined Types" into the appropriate
LinuxDoc format. I don't have any software here (apart from VIM and MS Word)
that could be used to generate Linux DocBook from Rich Text Format (rtf)
files. And I'm not sure how to create little boxes with text in (I use them
to show CRC diagrams - Class, Responsibility, Collaboration diagrams) and
they're very important when dealing with user defined types.
My current Linux box is a 90Mhz Pentium Compaq with dodgy graphics card that
makes me work in VGA mode 640x480 in 16 colours. The same PC can run Windows
in SVGA mode so its ok for use in MS Word using commonly found formats like
rtf or txt.
