Absolutely no need for that, I can do it myself.  But a printout of an
ftp item is *not* the same thing as a properly layed out, printed,
indexed, etc. printed manual.  The content may be the same, but the
ease of use is not.  When I first brought this up, the answer was
no, now they are thinking about it.  Having worked in the publishing
field I know about costs per copy.  I think there is a greater
market than you assume, Trish, and with LISTSERV going to a greater
number of platforms I imagine the market will go.  We don't need to
worry about LSOFT losing money on it, as I assume it won't be done
if there's no market.  I would like the option of having it available,
though.    Douglas
