While it is useful and informative for me, it assumes that the reader already knows IB in detail. It won't help new users who are trying to learn the IB stuff for the first time. It is only 48kb, and can't possibly replace what they had in 2.0beta (1.7MB) as IB documentation. I just question the intention, or lack of wisdom of NeXT for removing the critical documentation needed to learn programming on NeXT. It's more important than the man pages. As I said, it's only 1.7MB on 2.0beta, and the reason for removal can't be the space on the 2.0 optical disk. -- Izumi Ohzawa [ $@Bg_78^=;(J ] USMail: University of California, 360 Minor Hall, Berkeley, CA 94720 Telephone: (415) 642-6440 Fax: (415) 642-3323 Internet: izumi@violet.berkeley.edu NeXTmail: izumi@pinoko.berkeley.edu
