Uh, dunno about others, but I received my docs in HTML format. Want a
copy?

Ugh, another one of those flamebaits that cause nothing but bad blood.

Not being OpenSource does not mean a product is bad. And being OpenSOurce
does not make a product good.

I for one have no objections to using products that work well, are priced
free to reasonable, and are well supported. M$ products match none of the
above, Borland products do.

But of course by saying this, I immediately become a Linux outcast, to be
tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail, because *that* is the
Linux way.
