Please be patient. Rasmus can I get Karma for CVSROOT? The rest behind
that accounting system I have tested on my local system.

Do you mean the php-group or the php-doc team? Both are normally very
quick. I have only a lame 14.4 modem, so my patches have some time delays.

But not every is willing do such a job. Hunting bugs on the various PHP
manuals doesnt make every time so much fun.

I have now a manual-generator for years. Its working on a very old Debian
system. But I havent found the time to look for the bugs in Daniel
Beulshausens en/pear/printer.xml documentation.

The only errors are in the not yet commited pages from Daniel.

If every K�sbl�ttle wrote such nonsense, we can forget PHP in Germany.
Another high ranking magazin, iX, writes also sometimes nonsense. The
author of that magazin wrote that they needed a whole day to install PHP.
The authors wrote in that article, that they cant find any information in
the PHP documentation. I'm not sure if he ment the book from
Markt+Technik Verlag in Munic.

Please do, nobody will ignore you. Currently I have only some problems
with my ISP, webspace, modem and other things.
