I expect that having one HTML file would make it reasonably easy to use lynx/links/w3m [some text-based HTML browser] to transform HTML into plain text. I should think that it would also enable using analagous tools to transform HTML into eBook formats like ePub and mobi, which are the frequently-preferable-formats on the emerging category of "electronic book" appliances. I have browsed the CHM form of the docs using a CHM reader on my phone, and found that less than wonderful, which had a lot to do with the reader not being particularly great. A format that plays well with a decent reader may turn out pretty happily. -- select 'cbbrowne' || '@' || 'cbbrowne.com'; http://cbbrowne.com/info/internet.html "MS apparently now has a team dedicated to tracking problems with Linux and publicizing them.
