For various and sundry reasons I like both best. I do love the way the manuals are now, and would hate to see them suffer for on-line application. OTOH, I have seen on-line manuals that are excellent. I prefer indexing through on-line manuals, and then being able to refer to a hardcopy (not a crippled one, either) for an in-depth resource. It would also be nice to be able to eliminate paper waste, but I don't know where one would begin to cut down on 3DS documentation. I think this is a case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". This software is so intense and large that complete documentation is an absolute must… and Jack has been doing an exemplary job. I would love to see an extensive on-line manual that would give me instant access to a large number of cross indexed subjects, and that would also allow me to refer to the (any) book for further study.
