Glue-age seems fine. 17 chapter docs make one 341 page book/ ..saving all that wasted allocation page tail-space (except on reiserfilesystem, eh?) At least it's not 2-column, so it is possible to read it on a screen without having to snake-scroll <ugh>. Other than for some searching conveniences, though, is their any real benefit from joining? Pity pdf apps's don't have some kind of user-annotation/bookmark scheme. ..or do they??? Regards, ..jim -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-lpsg
