Some time ago I considered the problem of converting this file to ReST format. But I gave up on the idea, because the necessary changes were so widespread and the resulting text file would not be easily readable. Replacing things of the form "A ->dep B" just scratches the surface. That document teems with variable names, formulas, code extracts, and other things which would all need to be rendered in a different font style. The density of the markup required to do this would be phenomenally high. In my opinion it simply was not worthwhile. Alan Stern
