Sounds like fun.  The one time I needed to write an
ersatz-file system I got away with flat CP/M style.

Looking around in the mounted CD (Unicode 5.0) all
is fine on my platform, long names, GIFs, JPGs, ZIPs,
TXTs, HTMLs, CSS, and also some PDFs.  Version 1.3,
so this should work on OS/2, and it can't be PDF/A.

Interesting, thanks for the link.  When John wrote
that PDF/A is the real thing for long-term archiving
he didn't mention that this is a baby in comparison
with GIF87a (over 20 years) or PNG (about 15 years).

"Get the license for the fonts" might be a relevant
hint for PDF/A producers (here the RFC-editor).

an obvious open source choice for producing PDF/a
from xml2rfc input.

Yes.  The page mentions Java, that's another 200 MB
to download for folks who don't have Java yet, again
with occasional security updates from scratch.

Sigh,

 Frank
