Re: Printing the Rute manual
Before we jump into print with somebody elses words of wisdom, I think it might be a good idea to read the copying licence:- http://rute.sourceforge.net/copying.html The crucial paragraph reads:- 1. This work may not be reproduced in hard copy except for personal use. Further, it may not be reproduced in hard copy for training material, nor for commercial gain, nor for public or organisation-wide distribution. Further, it may not be reproduced in hard copy except where the intended reader of the hard copy initiates the process of converting the work to hard copy. Whilst I'd love to have a knock-off copy on account of the value for money, I'm not sure if my concience would allow it. Please think carefully about the ramifications of what is proposed. -- Christopher Sawtell. Nick Rout wrote: I made enquiries with the Digital Print Centre on Victoria street just now.

This is also contingent on there not being too much black on the pages. This price is for 1-4 copies, so if we got a lot done it would be less, but he was a bit vague about that. It could be worth getting an order together. This is cheaper then getting it from Amazon $30 US plus (say) $15 US postage, double it to NZ$ = $90.

If it was not for this paragraph I would have been offering hard copies of it months ago. BTW, nobody has initiated a request for a hard copy from me. I load the tutorial (uncompressed) into xpdf and print off the sections I want. The html version is good for locating the parts I need.

By taking orders, in a round about way the intended reader is inititating the process of converting to hard copy. They're saying... hey you ... print me a copy. No real difference from saying hey print daemon, print me a copy. The protocol is just a little different, and requires human intervention for the spooling :) Sascha Beaumont
Re: Printing the Rute manual
What sort of binding is that? At 330 leaves (is that the correct term?) thick which is nearly a ream (500), my experience with that plastic binding at that thickness is not very good. - Original Message - From: Nick Rout [EMAIL PROTECTED] I made enquiries with the Digital Print Centre on Victoria street just now.
