Re: Informix Documentation Question
On the subject of manuals - when is INFORMIX going to get around to providing the 4GL manual index in volume 1 of the 4GL reference manual? I quite like the new soft covered manuals. When I go on site I find I need to take 10-15 manuals with me. The lighter the manual the better as far as I'm concerend. And, BTW, I've been using the same manuals for years, throwing them on and off planes etc and I've never had a page come out - yet! > In article <Aqqjlq4b9JAH075yn@kcbbs.gen.nz>, kerry@kcbbs.gen.nz says... > > > >On a related topic: > >Is anybody else unimpressed with the quality of the binding on these > >modern softcover manuals? > > > Yeah...they should include book-ends to hold them up.
