Hi Markus,

I have a local copy of Paul's tutorial (the HTML version downloaded
directly). I could send this to you, post it for downloading on my Web
site or upload it somewhere (at www.netfolder.com? -- which also has a
dead link to it). I don't know about the niceties of doing this without
Paul's express approval, though I doubt he would argue with the spirit
of such action. I also doubt he will remain absent for long; in fact,
you'll find a sort of groves manifesto at:
       http://www.prescod.net/groves/shorttut/

which seems for now to be the only document on the site. It also has a
more up-to-date (July 1999) mailto: paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx

This was my own introduction to DSSSL, and I still think it's a fine
starting point.

Let me know,

Ron
