My problem is the RTL document. It is HUGE! Last time I checked, it was<br>
just under 1600 pages.<br>
<br>
* Has anybody else printed the RTL document? If so, how did you bind it?<br>
No printer here wants to bind such a huge book.</blockquote><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> - Graeme -<br>
<br></blockquote></div><br>I suggest the FPC dev team to consider the option to publish on <a href="http://lulu.com">lulu.com</a> or simil service the RTL books, maybe splitted in two or three volumes. With money get back by the books sell we can finance FPC development.<br>
<br>Here is an example: I'm an italian delphi win32 programmer that wants to move to linux operating systems, and I found this book <a href="http://gapil.truelite.it/">http://gapil.truelite.it/</a> that explain in italian how to develop under linux. <br>
This book, 700 pages, is free and opensource, is distribuited online but you can *buy* also a printed copy on <a href="http://lulu.com">lulu.com</a>. With money of every sell the author add more pages to the book. Note that <a href="http://lulu.com">lulu.com</a> doesn't print books until their are sold. There is not a wast of paper :-)<br>
So, buying this book, i financed the book itself and i have got a well readable copy of this monolitic documentation.<br><br>What do you think about?<br>Bye all<br>Corrado<br><br>
