Cecile worries: > If I am reading these messages correctly, the LaserROM will be going > away and documentation will be available only via WWW. My understanding: The current CD-ROM based LaserRom is being replaced by the new CD-ROM based Instant Information, based on the DynaText document search system by Inso Corp. (www.inso.com). A side effect of which is that HP may be able to make the MPE documentation available via the web as they have for HP-UX. So you will still be getting CD-ROMs, they will just be using different software. Last year I spent a lot of time working with Unisys's CD-ROM documentation set which was based on the DynaText engine. It had several advantages over the LaserRom software, most noticeably the ability to print any or all of a manual and have it look just like a real printed manual. It also had a number of annoyances such as the performance of scrolling through tables and hyperlinks, but Instant Information is probably based on a much newer version of the Dyna stuff, and may be improved. I have not seen the CD-ROM version of the HP-UX Instant Information yet personally. G.
