The Electronic Green Book is located here.  There are several
subdirectories, but the important ones are by_name and by_number.
These directories contain the chapters and appendicies of the Green
Book, listed by number (chap7) and by name (rtos). 

  So, for example, the file BY_NAME/rtos is identical to
BY_NUMBER/chap7.  Which directory you use just depends on how you want
to search the Green Book.  Some files are listed by name in both
places, like the Contents, Figures list, and the Glossary.  Contents
is also in the parent directory, as you saw above.

  Suppose you want to know the possible CSD information for the audio device.
You might do the following:

$ chd /cd/GRNBK
$ grep  'Device Status' Contents  
  A VII.2.4.2 Device Status Descriptors
  A VII.2.6  Device Status Descriptors
$ grep  'A VII.2.4.2' Contents ! grep  audio  (no luck.)
$ grep  'A VII.2.6'   Contents ! grep  audio
    A VII.2.6.2.2  Audio Processor
    A VII.2.6.3.2  Audio Set
$ chd BY_NUMBER  (OK, we know it's in Appendix 7, sect. 2.6.2.2)
$ umacs app7...
             ...in the editor, search for "2.6.2.2" or "Audio Processor"...
             ...

For those of you with an abiding curiosity, you will have noticed
another directory: CHANGE_LISTS. CHANGE_LISTS is the electronic form
of the change lists that get distributed with each set of change
pages.  As far as I have been able to determine, this version of the
green book is currently (2 May 1990) up to date with the current Green
Book revision, issued November 1989.  If anyone finds any differences
with the Green Book, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

My thanks to Chuck and Kris, who performed the conversion from WordPerfect
format.
