First things first: Pete, the manual looks great! Many thanks for the work you've done here - this is exactly as it should be. Much appreciated! I agree with Sven that a single .tex file simplifies many things, but I understand the point Peter is making. Since the HTMP/PS/PDF files should already be part of the distribution, the user shouldn't have any hassle with separate documentation parts. And it makes restructuring easier - which will probably be needed. cheers, felix
