RM95 and Rationale on Paper

Hypertext versions
Paper editions
Postscript files

To have your own printed copy of the Reference Manual and Rationale for Ada 95, you don't have to print the PostScript files yourself.

Since hypertext is better than paper for reference works, you should use hypertext versions.
