Well, here are some answers:
1) The book is in some unwieldy HTML format with images=2E Like one secti=
on=20
per file=2E I think there are around 150 separate HTML files, at least=2E=
And
without having the actual copy on CD, some features are useless (like sear=
ch
and easy navigation - the CD had some Java applet to do that or something =
-
Laurent can fill me in here)=2E So it would suck to do=2E You might be a=
ble
to link the pages together and compile it with Newt's Cape - you can=20
apparently do this with the LINK tag in the header to compile huge books
from many parts without running out of memory? See the LINK tag here:

2) I don't think PaperBack would be an option here=2E Bookmaker might, bu=
t
you'd have to import the hundreds of HTML files into one huge file in a
word processor, make sure you get the images, remove the extra headers and=
footers, write some appropriate BookMaker markup, save as an RTF, compile
with BookMaker and hope it doesn't explode=2E =20
And I'll try and check that BookMaker corruption out=2E

Just a thought=2E=2E=2E=2E The edition in the archive is an
online one with hyperlingks to jump around=2E I was
wondering 2 things:
1) Why hasn't anyone made this into a Newton Book
yet???!!!!
2) If I tried to do this would Paperback2=2E0 support
the Hyperlinks or would I have to go through
BookMaker?? [sidenote: Victor I think the Paperback
2=2E0 on the archive has become corrupted=2E I found an
earlier download of it and it worked but the one there
now doesn't(mac version)]
