- That's the big advantage of having the source freely available. While
- Gribnif may be in no hurry to add image support, others might jump to
- the sources and add it. Similarly for sound support. If ST-Guide
- doesn't have sound support, we have to rely on a single person (Holger)
- to add it. This could take time, and Holger may not be very interested
- in ading it [I'm assuming ST-G doesn't have sound support. If it does,
- substitute some other feature, such as network support].

- I think it's a necessity for any documentation system to provide at
- least for XIMG support, and potentially Metafile support. Hypertext
- is the preferred navigation model. Many applications have no use for
- images in documentation, but for some, it is absolutely vital.
