What Chuq said.  I think it's excellent behavior on Symantec's part.
Keith, you sound too busy to be very appreciative :-).  I've never had
a Symantec manual fall apart on me, and I'd rather have a book that lays
flat and then has to be punched and 3-hole-bound than a perfect-bound
manual that doesn't lay flat (and I'm fed up with spiral binding, too).
Way to go, Symantec--of course, it helps that THINK C 4.0 is so good
as software, too.
