As I understand it, Ventura will be available with a Windows interface Real
Soon Now.  You might contact the Xerox Corp. to confirm this.

Ventura isn't what's dumb here.  From the options menu click on Multi_Chapter
and then select Copy All.  From here you can tell it where you want to copy
the whole chapter and it will even create a new subdirectory for you.  This
couldn't be made any easier!
