The safecopy-1.7-extras has a PDF file without a editable source (HTML, txt, doc etc) and hasn't a license text. Thus, we can't package this tarball in Debian or other Linux distribution.

Thanks for your work. Please, keep safecopy alive!!!

    Thanks for the notification. The source for analysis.pdf is a ".lyx" file (wysiwyg latex editor) I still have it somewhere, but I'm surprised its not in version control, it definitely should be.
    I'll double check that. If in doubt, all of safecopy - including its documentation - is under GPL 2 (or higher)

    I checked, analysis.lyx is in the CVS tree under simulator/doc/
    I think it had been left out of the packaged source tarball since it + the required image files take up a lot of space and made the tarball too large to be distributed. (over 50 megabytes)
