I just had to good fortune to successfully print out a copy of the Basis doc (or at least part of it) from Microsoft word. As it turns out, I misinterpreted large parts of Word file format, and thus, my entire copy is worthless. Based on the fact that the Basis12 is only current for another 3 weeks or so, I don't think that it's worth the effort for 12 to redo the entire thing. However, I hereby volunteer to properly format Basis13, if it becomes available in time for me to do a worthwhile job before it's out of date. To the gentleman who asked "Was it worth the effort when you could have bought it for $10?", I answer: yes, because an online version of the document is worth a lot more to me than a printed copy. And I think that TeX is sufficiently portable that it will be a fairly useful document to a very large number of people. <MC> -- |Mark Craig Carroll: <MC> |"We the people want it straight for a change; |Soon-to-be Grad Student at| cos we the people are getting tired of your games; |University of Delaware | If you insult us with cheap propaganda; |carroll@dewey.udel.edu | We'll elect a precedent to a state of mind" -Fish
