Re: Online Documentation

["Glenn at home" <GlennErvin@cableone.net>]

I would like html, if it was all on one page, but I hate that constant 
linking to new pages while I am into reading something.
So if this is impossible, I would prefer txt over HTML, as it would be all 
in one page/document.

Actually I think html is my most preferred format since if it's done
well, one can navigate quickly and efficiently arounbd in the document.

so long as the people do not care to exercise their freedom, those
who wish to tyrannize will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent,
and will devote themselves in the name of any number of gods, religious
and otherwise, to put shackles upon sleeping men.
