Jim,

>>>To answer your question, in fact, far more sections changed in HackFox 6 than stayed the same.

>>>Frankly, the CHM alone is worth the price, but there's lots of new material in there, too.

>>I own both versions of the Hackers Guide and they are very different. When I purchase a technical book I ask myself one question: Will it save me one hour of my time. If it does, as far as I am concerned it has paid for itself. The Hackers Guide has paid for itself many times over. I am looking forward to Hackers Guide 7.0. (Hint)

>*IF* they did, I would like to see it exploit the format further. I've gotta believe that not aiming for hardcopy too gives more opportunity for an even more useable format. For instance, each command/function/class/PEM could have its own 'page' (with the "see also" corrrespondingly updated), syntax ("usage" in the book) could be shown/explained better (maybe 1-per-'page' solves that anyway). I'm sure there are other things that .chm offers that could be applied too.

Neanderthal that I am <g> I still like to print the manuals out and bind them. I often find myself sitting on my couch at 10:30PM reading and it's hard to haul my 'puter up the stairs. <g>

Now.. If I could find a .CHM --> .DOC converter I'd be in heaven.
