There is an ambivalence caused by wanting people to have the newer revised version and not wanting to dissipate resources printing up something that may change again. The probelm is made worse by the new formats which are more useful but consume more space. I suggest that we get samples of the new data formats and work out samples of printing formats. We can then evaluate them and critique them. I would look for a printing format (size as well as layout) that provided for easy modification. Like the ability to tape additions and corrections to the bottom/top/side margins of the page. With revision codes on each page, so that the more significantly changed pages can be remastered and distributed (replacing the overwritten and overtaped previous versions). (This sort of thing was done with many issuances of the UNIX reference manual from many sources.) thank you all, Art Protin Arthur Protin These are my personal views and do not reflect those of my boss or this installation.
