Right. I guess it boils down to where do I want to spend time.
Personally, I think that our time is better spent improving the quality of the documentation, and not the number of formats it's available in. If we can get more formats for free (or if someone really really wants to do this, and comes up with a format that is easy for someone with only a knowledge of HTML to learn and maintain), great, but I don't think we should focus a lot of energy in this direction. -Rob On Fri, 15 Nov 2002, Oleksandr Firsov wrote: > It is not big deal to create script which will print set of pages.
