I may be a little brain-dead, but how about including a list of ALL references on a topic in the index? For instance, does "struct Window" only appear on one page in the entire book? And I guess NOTHING appears in the appendices -- the index doesn't mention a thing in there. Come on! When someone's trying to use a REFERENCE MANUAL, they want to find their information quickly, not page through for half an hour. That means the index has to be MUCH more complete than the current index. I couldn't care less what order the information comes in as long as the index is going to save me having to sort through the whole book trying to find the layout of one of my structures. -Joe -- UUCP: rutgers!dayton!joe (Feed my Dayton Hudson Department Store Company ATT : (612) 375-3537 picture Joe Larson/MIS 1060 (standard disclaimer...) collection) 700 on the Mall Mpls, Mn. 55402
