- I can't begin to describe to you how good this sounds. I wish CBM would do
- things like that - I would much rather have disk-based reference manuals than
- paper ones (and AmigaGuide is just the thing for them, too), and CBM could
- always offer paper ones to people who have never gotten used to doing things
- in a modern way (eg people who still print out source listings every time they
- find a bug, people who enjoy their normal eyesight... :) ).
