Since the document was originally authored in SGML, we find it easy to provide a number of different versions, though the final text is available only in book form. The text of the article was originally written in English by Lou Burnard and Peter Robinson: this (preliminary) version is available

The article was then translated into French by Muriel Gougerot and Elizabeth Lalou: this (much improved) version is available
