Geoff,
Being one of the people most eager for printed dox, I read your post
with delight. However, when I go to the URL listed all I see is what
looks like a program written in C or something. I do not see a stack
I can download. How do I download/use your stack?
Marian
PS Thanks for doing this. If I can get it to work it will save me
literally hours of copying and pasting, which is what I have been
doing lately
