I left the directory out due to its size (720k) and that I didn't realize it could be used for making a hardcopy. I'm a bit concerned about the maintenance too since screen dumps of menus and windows will contain some information about the version of emacs, the window system, the widget etc used that will sooner or later will force you to create new dumps when things change. Or will confuse users who don't use the same windows system. Do we want to have a windows manual, a motif manual etc? No! So if possible I would like to use less of these screen dumps. Suppose the screen and menu dumps would be replaced by textual dumps. That wouldn't look half as good but might be a better compromised between all the different versions of windows, widgets and not to mention (X)Emacs-versions!? Is there some philosophy used by other packages that can guide us? Another compromise could be to include the pictures and generate the corresponding postscript files. I guess the later is only needed for the whole manual after all and can be generated as part of that process. This will reduce the size of the package. I also guess that png would be a preferred format to the current gif pictures!? Yours -- %% Mats
