Titled Can structured formatters prevent train crashes?, it suggests that one contributory factor in the train crash at the gare du Lyon in June 1988 (in which 56 died and hundreds were injured through a combination of failures in the braking system of an incoming train) was that the maintenance manuals were not only difficult to use but also contained a layout error in the part describing the braking system. The article makes clear how a structured document editor would have precluded such errors. Incidentally, the article is apparently a translation of an earlier version called LaTeX ou SGML pouvaient-ils faire éviter l'accident de la gare de Lyon? published in a journal called Cahiers GUTenberg. Does anyone on this list know of this journal?

Sometimes it is not working and mail is returned. The best solution is to wait a while and try again. I dont read NJECN very often and mail can sit there a few days. Anyway. The conference sounds interesting, although I still don't like the Mac very much. I just don't have time anymore to do anything. My life is going down the tube. That apartment house is taking up all my very limited spare time. The five connected apartments are OK and all rented at good rents, but the house is a total wreck and needs to be totally redone, inside and out. When I looked at the cost of having it done--about $35,000 by one estimate--I decided to do it myself. A big mistake, I think, but the only alternative is burning it down. Besides, I think I stand to make about $100,000 over what I already have in it. So I have given up all travel plans, probably including a trip to Indiana for a wedding. I havn't even thought about getting the boat ready for the season. Probably will try to sell it. Also, the kids are full of problems and Angela is about to go over the edge. It seems to me that we have an almost perfect life--more than enough money, pleasant, challenging jobs, a nice place to live, reasonably good health, good if not terribly ambitious or directed kids--yet everybody but me is always miserable and they are working on me. Years ago, when we first got married you told me you didn't see how we were going to make it because Anglea seemed kind of screwed up. If you have any insights into what here problems are, I would appreciate your telling me. Thats enough for now--heard anything from Wilson lately? Dave
