Many people (>150) have helped this project, so the result is that the book now is 350 pages if I cut all margins to a minimum. It is too big IMHO. Now I have to split the book into 4-5 parts, but I like feedback on how to do this in an optimal way. My problem is that I have many cross-references which will suffer from the split. I have looked into using which presumably enables me to keep correct cross-references, but I really would like to compile the sub-books individually now - currently it takes too much time to make PS, PDF, and HTML. Any clues on how to proceed in splitting books in practice could help. BR -- Peter Toft, Ph.D. [pto@sslug.dk] http://www.sslug.dk/~pto "You don't win a battle by asking, `Will we win?'
