Are you finding the 1.8c manuals, in a variety of formats, including Word, ascii, and others, available on the lsoft web site to be inadequate? You can printem and bindem and have a really firstclass resource. >I've said all this many times before, and I'm going to continue saying >it.

The index isn't bad, though may not meet your standards, I suppose. I'd not bother with looseleaf nonsense, since the world is way past that. When a new revision comes out, I'll just download it, dump it to my LaserJet, and get it bound again. Paper is a couple bucks. The binding about a buck. Not worth my time to do change pages. cheers dan Dan Lester [log in to unmask] In the kingdom of the blind, the one eyed man is king.
