Microsoft Word? :-) I've put off documenting some stuff at work long enough that I'm begining to study troff/groff when I can grab a few moments. Fought battles copy/pasting between Word 7 and Eudora Lite under Win95 this afternoon for about 15 minutes and had enough of that. One nice thing about text based markup languages is its easy to diff one version against another and see where it changed. Anybody writing an "SGML For Dummies" book yet? Once Upon A Time I was given an SGML document and couldn't make anything of it. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
