We're working on making it (and other tools) even better and updating
it to include all the Notes through April.  Look for this and other
goodies at the WorldWide (Spring) Developer Conference in May.  I should
mention that the stack is meant as a SUPPLEMENT to the paper versions,
NOT a replacement.
 
As for PICTs, well...  What would you suggest? (Remembering that some of the
original diagrams are VERY large.)  We are VERY open to suggestions, so if
you have them, send to any of my e-mail addresses below or MacDTS on AppleLink
with TN Stack in the Subject...
