Go up one level in this thread


Maybe some people forgot that the original offer included no book (please
correct me if I am wrong), and Vas made specific mention that a book would be
provided if there was enough noise made. He felt that the strength of an engine
should not be book dependent.

OK - we made noise, and we got a book; and it should be a very good book. So it
happens to be in a format not to everyone's liking. It happens - I want the
shredder9.bkt to be in a universal format too, and I reject the idea of buying
the CB version of S9 just to get the .ctg book. How many complain about that? Is
it preferable to get a .ctg book rather than a .bkt, or an .abk book? There will
be many opinions. Is it easy for Jeroen and Vas to convert to an internal book?
I do not know that either.

One thing I do know is that no matter what the decision, there will be those who
complain. If it was an internal book, I am sure we would hear from those who
want the ability to edit the book asking for a book editor.
