You may be able to answer this, since you write it. Do you actually need to keep two original sources for your documentation? That is, one source for Bookmanager and a separate one for PDFs? I am not very knowledgable about producting either of these, but some clever "m4" macros might be interesting. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
