Ok, maybe for those of you who are working professionnals, the right way would be to buy the book. But I'm a student, currently full-time student, so I don't have a lot of money available to my expenses. I'm sorry to say that buying the DocBook Def. Guide is not one of the first items on my to-do list. So if one of you have a part time, distance job, for me, (http://www.ravinet.com/cv.html) then I promise I will buy Norm's book asap. -Sylvan -- __________________________________________________________________ My Mission Statement: "We are what we repeatedly do.
