(One for >our regular viewers) I feel strongly both ways.... I think the digital manuals are a boon for a number of reasons. For me, two of the biggest are that I can have a copy that isn't going to walk away and searching is much quicker. However, it has become increasingly difficult for me to connect to http://www.informix.com/answers - Is anyone else experiencing the same? Additionally, it isn't always very clear as to which manual I need to look in. I can't remember specific examples, but I know that several times I have located my answer in another manual after I've wasted time looking in what, to me, seemed a more logical location. Of course, everything's always in the 'last place you look' for some eerie reason. Gives me the willies! == Maintainer of the procrastinator's FAQ.
