The one time I needed to write an ersatz-file system I got away with flat CP/M style. Looking around in the mounted CD (Unicode 5.0) all is fine on my platform, long names, GIFs, JPGs, ZIPs, TXTs, HTMLs, CSS, and also some PDFs. Version 1.3, so this should work on OS/2, and it can't be PDF/A. > <http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/pdfa.html> Interesting, thanks for the link. When John wrote that PDF/A is the real thing for long-term archiving he didn't mention that this is a baby in comparison with GIF87a (over 20 years) or PNG (about 15 years). "Get the license for the fonts" might be a relevant hint for PDF/A producers (here the RFC-editor). > an obvious open source choice for producing PDF/a > from xml2rfc input. Yes. The page mentions Java, that's another 200 MB to download for folks who don't have Java yet, again with occasional security updates from scratch.
