I've had some small correspondence with several people on the Infocentre
team and they've corrected a misconception I've had for quite a while.  The
Infocentre is NOT a library of manuals.  It is an 'information centre'
containing web pages and PDFs.  It is not intended to be a way to get at the
paper manuals from the Web.  They are literally disassembling the paper
manuals and turning them into web pages.  So when Jerry says "Basically,
we've tried to integrate these manuals into the Information Center as
appropriate.  For example, the  RPG manuals are directly linked to from the
Programming category in the Navigation frame within the Information Center;
they are also included in the Info Center search", he means that the manual
has been (pardon the pun) assimilated.

I do NOT NOT NOT NOT mean to start another meaningless lament about the fate
of the manuals.  My only intent was to share the observation that the
Infocentre is NOT a collection of paper manuals presented in electronic
form.  If a gentle reader doesn't like this trend, by all means tell the
Infocentre team by using the feedback mechanism on their web page.
