Not yet at least. I wouldn't mind frankly if Alesis posted it on their web
site, or it got linked at code404's site, though.

Oh, no problem. Sometime when I have time, I'll go through the archives and
extract any other good information that has come up. Time's a bit of a bitch
these days, but I'll give it a go when I get a chance. Maybe one weekend in
the next couple of weeks I'll sit down with a cup of coffee and paste in
comments. :)

Your formatting is an easier way to deal with it actually so I'd probably
edit that directly. :) What process did you use to convert the document?
(That would make it easier for me to edit the base document.)

I liked TeX too back in the days I was in an engineering school where they
were geeky enough to have lots of Sun stations. However, it is a geek format
that few would get... PDF and HTML are the universal formats these days,
pretty much. I remember toying with the idea of using Adobe Framemaker for
this project (which would've covered both) but in the end just went with
what is on my computer... which is what is on my work computer, MS Word.
Sigh.
