Hi Derik,

:) I have CVS-Access, but no karma for phpweb, but anyway, thanks for the
info.

Absolutely right. I think building the (currently) 8 languages once a month
would be an effort I also could take. So if we coordinate, we'd have updated
chm-manuals every 14 days (and if 2 other guys volunteer also, it would be
every week :). If you agree, I'll ask Sascha or Rasmus for the necessary
Karma.

Right, but even I haven't checked the chm-format yet, I can imagine that it
would be a tremendous work to write a tool for Unix.

That's intersting.... I've never checked it on my Linux (is offline), but
these probs occur on NS 4.73 (Win98), NS 4.77 (NT4), and an NS 4.?? (my
colleagues PC with NT4).
I don't know if it's just for fun, but Kristian forces (my) NSs to download
the German FAQ at http://www.koehntopp.de/php/faq.chm , while IE asks if it
should show or download (Probably a script with "hidden parameters", which
sends a special header for NS).
Best regards,
Thomas
P.S.: If you want to reply pls. do it "to all", because since today I get
always "You have no permission to talk" from news.php.net.
