The Macintosh Acrobat Reader has some difficulty handling the Computer Modern typewriter style font, used in this book.
So in the preparation of the pdf file, this font was changed to Courier. As a result, some lines are slightly longer than desirable.
To retain compatibility with the original book, these lines were not edited.
Some pages on the Macintosh do not read correctly on the computer monitor; it seems then preferable to read the printed version of mil.pdf.
If the System file contains only Adobe licensed fonts, all the significant problems go away.
The subdirectory templates contains the templates and sample documents for Part I of the book.
