- Well, you must have received a different version than I did, because
- the version I have (October Beta) has only one floppy that installs the
- CDROM. The docs are on the CDROM, but they are 100% postscript, so
- you have to either print them or view them with ghostscript. I was
- underwhelmed by this, because I was expecting the kind of organised
- on-line docs that were on the developer's CDROM with the whiz-bang
- search engine. On-line docs that have to be printed to be viewed are
- a crock.
