The Safari site (http://safari.oreilly.com) says:
"Conduct searches across all of the technical books in the Safari library - more than 2,000 in all. Zero in on answers to time critical questions in a matter of seconds." You can actually search the text of all the books in the Safari library, though you will be prompted to add a book to your bookshelf if you wish to read the specific reference in the results. This feature is really nice if you are looking for a bit of code. John --- Terry Stockdale <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Don't know.
