Eliminating parallel manual versions

SubjectEliminating parallel manual versions
I am concerned that there seems to be more than one version of the
manual.

David Booth has informed me that Jean Piche is now longer maintaining
the HTML manual (he forwarded me a copy of a message Jean Piche sent to
this list to that effect). The latest copy of the manual for version
3.53 I had was from the Bath site, and substantially different from
David Booth's version recently announced here. Each version has stuff
that the other does not. 

Now, the FTP site at Bath is down (as John Fitch warned might happen),
so I can't go check to see what is going on.

I just want to see if everyone agrees that there should not be two
seperate versions of the HTML manual floating around, and under the
circumstances, all traces of the Piche version should be removed. 

On a related note : David, I could not find the tutorial section in your
manual. Is there a reason you omitted it, or was this intentional?

Larry-

Currently, the tutorials are available from my site only in Acrobat format.
To get these, download that Supplement. 

At some point I could make them available in HTML, but it will be a while
(months, probably).

As for 2 versions, I have no opinion on that. Just go by version numbers.
If you would like to see a feature in mine it lacks, just let me know. It
could be worked into a future release.
