Ok. I didn't catch that one, obviously. My general point in this thread has been: Documentation should include simple pointers and just enough information on use. Just so that an intelligent beginner can read the text and find the information he needs. Background: A few years back, when I was a beginner, I found it REAL HARD to catch the hook - simply because the documentation was so "beginner-unfriendly" (BUF ;-). I occassionally still have a hard time finding the correct place in the docs. IMHO the docs doesn't need much of a change, just a few words here and a reference or a pointer there. And this is all it is about... Without those *tiny* details, you're out in the cold as beginner. If you're stubborn enough (I have been told I'm VERY stubborn) you'll get a hang on it... If you're not... Well... Getting more users to the free software world is "A Good Thing" i.e. a benefit for us all. IMHO creating *too* terse docs is counterproductive in this sense. /Hannu E K Nevalainen, Mariefred, Sweden --END OF MESSAGE-- -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
