- On a semi-related note, one of the things that most bugs me about the
- Camel Book is it's references to things in "Chapter n", while the pages
- don't have chapter numbers on them! This means I have to go back to
- the table of contents to see where that chapter is (yeah, so maybe it's
- my fault for not memorizing 90% of the book yet.. :-). In future
- versions, consider either putting the Chapter number somewhere on the
- page, or use the texinfo style of "Chapter 4, page 151" which would save
- non-JAPHers lots of time.
- Thanks,
