since nobody responded, i just tried it and wrote a section on flash6 for
konqueror and mozilla and a small one about plugger.
could you please have a look a the diff and give me some feedback? i have no
prior experience with docbook stuff...
and i've got a question. i've frequently used <filename role="package">
xxx/yyy</filename> - sometimes the link the respective pkg_descr works,
sometimes it does not. why?
best regards
