As Tim McMillen suggested, a split of the rather long paragrap into two would be nice. Also, all the books contain a rather long block of legal text. I for one are fed up with such texts, and thinks that if anyone put something on the web, that gives me the right to read it, and as long as I just want to read the page i ignore the legal stuff. In this case, unfortunatley, this leads to ignoring the "welcome" paragraph as well. The legal stuff should only matter in specific cases, as if I want to redistribute a book, so why bang innocent readers who are just reading the web pages on the head with a lot of lawyer-speak? So I think the word "Copyright" could be a link to the rest of the legal stuff, which could reside either at the bottom of the frontpage or on its own page. -- Rasmus Kaj ------------------------ rasmus@kaj.se - http://Raditex.se/~kaj/ \ We don't care.
