Just out of curiosity, why didn't Microsoft use the same approach used in the
Developer Network CD-ROM?  I absolutely love the search engine that was built
into this CD-ROM.  I can find anything I need in moments and then can either
view or print it.  Or, if I want, I can just go through the Table of Contents
for the item of interest.  I was really surprised to find that this was not
the case when I got the Windows NT Beta CD-ROM.
