OK, the best thing that I'm able to find at the moment is something called htmldoc (http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc/) which does HTML->PDF conversion. It looks good. The only thing that is non-obvious is how to get it to do things in a sensible order, and I am having a little trouble with links from one document to another. (It's all one PDF, but links from one doc to another are not working correctly. I'll get it eventually.) So, it looks like, if we can agree on a sensible order for the docs, all that we would have to maintain is a complete list of all of the files in that preferred order, and someone (I'm volunteering) could do the necessary magic (probably just a shell or Perl script, once I get this figured out) to generate that document on demand. More details as I have them. -- Rich Bowen - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.rcbowen.com/kenya/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
