The document is written using a tool called "SGML-Tools" which can be got from -
http://www.sgmltools.org
Compiling the source you will get the following commands like
sgml2html Java-Decompiler-HOWTO.sgml (to generate html file)
LaTeX documents may be converted into PDF files simply by
producing a Postscript output using sgml2latex ( and dvips) and running the
output through the Acrobat distill (
http://www.adobe.com) command as follows:
bash$ man sgml2latex
bash$ sgml2latex filename.sgml
bash$ man dvips
bash$ dvips -o filename.ps filename.dvi
bash$ distill filename.ps
bash$ man ghostscript
bash$ man ps2pdf
bash$ ps2pdf input.ps output.pdf
bash$ acroread output.pdf &
Or you can use Ghostscript command ps2pdf.
ps2pdf is a work-alike for nearly all the functionality of
Adobe's Acrobat Distiller product: it
converts PostScript files to Portable Document Format (PDF) files.
ps2pdf is implemented as a very small command script (batch file) that invokes Ghostscript, selecting a special "output device"
called pdfwrite. In order to use ps2pdf, the pdfwrite device must be included in the makefile when Ghostscript was compiled;
see the documentation on building Ghostscript for details.
