Stephen, Just a couple of notes. There are some concerns about the introduction of the term macro in the tutorial and the sense with which it's used. Also, saul has asked me to relay to you: have him look into the DIR-SEPARATOR constant. Using it would obviate about half of his code. If you

Pat, The conversion to compatible HTML went much faster than I imagined. It looks like getting everybody comfortable with the tutorial is going to be the longer part of the process. I looked at the notes, if we need to make some changes we can, I would rather not make a lot of changes if

Roman Pat, I spent quite a bit of time fiddling round with git-bz and after downloading it, configuring it, and trying to use it to send in the differences from checking my tutorial into git (local check out / check in *seems* OK), I have come to the conclusion that this is probably not what
