I'm not able to latex the book because a macro called \ifchiron is
undefined. Does anybody know what this is?

We're having problems here as well - something with the style file.
Could someone make a postscript version (or one per chapter) available
as well? I know it's enormous but latex seems to vary a lot between
sites whereas postscript should work everywhere.
Thanks to Digital Press and Apple for making this possible.

Ditto.

I wish! For instance, I can't print the PostScript Dylan Interim
Manual correctly.
So does anyone have the CLtL2 manual in a portable form yet? An html
version or a postscript version will work (preferably the former).
Anyone?
I know there was an html version, but it didn't include code segments.
Thanks,

What is the ftp address?
Can the TeX file be transformed into an emacs info file?

Are those sources plain TeX or LaTeX (if the latter, has anybody tried to run
latex2html on them?)
Bye,
Jens.

My guess is that it refers to Chiron, which as I recall is a company in
Cambridge that creates printing masters from tex or dvi or ps files.
Therefore, unless you want to print on a 1000dpi device (or the like) you
can probably comment out whatever \ifchiron inserts. I have not, however,
tried to run tex on the manual, so this is pure speculation.
