Hi all, 

For those interested in the current state of the reference manuals, I;ve
uploaded the already updated part of the dutch reference manuals (paper
and screen version) to pragma-ade. 

  www.pragma-ade.nl -> context -> info -> beta 

These files are *not* to be redistributed. The last chapters are still
in the update stage (not in the documents) and the english manual is in
preparation. This is how it's going to look. 

Hans

Could you consider to change the paper size of the print-out manual to
ISO A4 (or letter, which is as our American friends claim, more used and a A4
document cannot be printed on a letter format but vice versa.)
(The present paper size us 240x240 mm.)

Well, I thought that some different size at least would show that we are
not stuck to A4 or letter -) When printed from acrobat, this document is
mapped nicely on 21 cm or letter (auto scaling). 

Although in principle any layout is possible, in preactice such a change
would mean that all verbatim stuff should be rewrapped. The current
settings are more efficient, especially because the setups also take
less space when wide. (Otherwise the manual would have 100 pages extra,
which is what publishers of comupter books like, but I hate.)
