[Mr. Kibernetik]

Thank you very much!

I printed the 5.6 on letter sized paper. Are you saying that the new manual is legal size only, or will I still be able to print the changes you made on letter size paper?

Thanks.

PS. I have been grabbing lots of samples for the Programmers Guide and I expect that it will take me about six months to get the first copy of it done. Do you or Mr. Kibernetik wish to review it first before I make it available to everyone?

Let me know.

As you prefer.

Thanks. I just got confused when he said legal paper.

In previous versions there was a "serial" version on A5-size, and a "booklet" version on A4-size.
The "booklet" was intended to print it and fold it as A5-size booklet. Someone from the USA made the comment that it also fits on "legal" size.

With the latest edition I decided to publish the "serial" version only.
Commercial, cq professional print-shops can handle that version for making an A5-sized booklet.
If someone wants to print it as a booklet, with two pages on a single sheet, then he can use Adobe Reader to do that job.

Got it. I too will only produce the serial A5-size for the programmer's guide.

With the A5-size, a printer could spiral-bind the manual, either with a wire spiral or those plastic tabs.

I just put mine in a 3-ring binder.

Thanks.

George.

Thanks for the update and specially for
the i-numbers add-ons

Thanks for putting so much effort into a proper manual. I've found it invaluable. In fact, if it weren't for your manual, I may not have decided to focus primarily on smart BASIC to begin with. I'm very much manual driven. Great work!
