I don't see a problem building on the existing content, under the stated license. We're not including these guides in a release. The reason for a copy was to preserve the existing material for users while a new version is being prepared. It could take a few weeks to do the update and it could be messy day-to-day. -Rob > Regards > Keith >> >> >> >>>> >> Regards Keith >> >>>>>> I don't think it would be extremely difficult to update the >>>>>> guide.
