I'd be happy to review the patch that Gabor has written & if necessary add or subtract from it. It will take me a bit of time to get up to speed with the mark-up & review/grok the updating docs in the round. ATM, they certainly fall short of including anything about updating a local copy of the docs. I'll sign up for docs@ & then my impertinent/stupid questions about the docs can be answered there....hopefully ;) Regards, -- Frank Contact info: http://www.shute.org.uk/misc/contact.html
