How criticical are the ACL manuals themselves, and how | extensive are they? (yes, I have all the .html, is that the whole | shebang?) Well, the manuals are quite extensive once you sit down with them. However, I'm not too thrilled about the HTML delivery because of the unsolved navigation problem in the WWW incarnation of hypertext (it had been solved prior to the WWW, of course; HTML is the MS-DOS of hypertext). I have asked (begged) for PDF files so I can at least have something that reads better than the HTML delivery and which also prints better than the HTML files come out like from the sucky browsers. Franz Inc have indicated they will accomodate some of my wishes for the ACL 6.0 release. Until then, the ACL 4.3 manuals are still in use, simply because they are printed and bound. #:Erik
