Bowerbird is the expert on this
jon, i know what they teach you in the dale carnegie courses about "how to win friends and influence people" is to flatter people's egos until they will do whatever you want them to... and i grant it is astoundingly effective. but that crap doesn't work with me -- precisely because i'm hip to it -- so you shouldn't waste your breath... and please stop making yourself look silly by trying to tell people all about z.m.l., because you don't know jack about it... as for the p.g. e-texts, most of them are already _in_ z.m.l. format, or close to it, so "remastering them" in z.m.l. will be a task so simple a 4th-grader can do it, mostly verifying my tool's auto-formatting. and from that, multiple goodies will follow. but i'm still waiting to do that "remastering" until you markup fools throw away a lot more of your precious time and energy. a _smart_ poker player doesn't show his hand too soon when he knows he's got the other players beat, he gets them to put their money in the pot first. ok, now back to not talking to jon directly, since he moderates posts by michael hart over on his listserve, and i firmly believe that a pioneer like michael deserves more respect. -bowerbird
