My thoughts exactly ... Well, I don't actually believe "all" will ever be
said and done ...

A constantly-updated file on the Emu site would be nice, especially if it
included your nifty list FAQ.  PDF format would probably be what they'd opt
for, tho publishers seldom format PDFs with screen users in mind.  (The
margins are nice in the bound book, but who needs 'em taking up screen real
estate?)

HTML format would be really nifty -- one could link into it -- and all
those LCD displays could be done using <table>s.  Some graphic files would
be inevitable, of course.

I imagine a folder setup like:


/xx7/manual/        <--- with chapter1.html, etc.
/xx7/manual/graphics/

Then we users could just grab the entire /manual/ folder, or link to it.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
