Well, it is about 18,000 pages, (9,000 double sided). that is a bit big

to print. ;-)
We are continuing to press towards a lulu.com like solution.

Should I have assumed that the correct response was to replace duplicate

named HTML files when unzipping?
Also, is there really a difference in the interface to Interbase 2007
between the professional and enterprise editions as indicated in the
modified Feature Matrix for Delphi 2007?

There are utilities (ie: pdf Split-Merge) that allow to merge to finished
PDF.
We used to join PDF's generated with ORCAD, Word, Corel and other different
applications.

I /think/ we tried that, and it blew out the PDF writer.

Re: For Folks that Wanted Help

Thanks for that Nick.
I know 18,000 pages (or 9,000 d/s) is a lot.
However, I for one purchased the complete M$ .NET 1.1 framework printed
documentation, which required re-enforcing my bookshelves ! (Unfortunately,
I then decided that .NET wasn't for me !!).
Provided that Codegear was to split up the documentation into 'sensible'
volumes, I for one would quite happily purchase from Lulu or similar.

Each file should be unzipped into a separate directory.

Professional editions don't allow for remote connections.

Ditto.

I would really like to be able to sit out on the back patio with the
manuals. can not do that with the electronic versions.

That's where the duplicates show up using XP's extract all.

Professional editions don't allow for remote connections.
Ah, so the key isn't Unicode but remote. Shouldn't that depend on the

Interbase license one buys?

Not so weird. CodeCentral currently has issues with hosting larger

downloads (John discussed this in more depth here recently). This will
generally surface as the error message you experienced and the Out of
Memory error that others are reporting here.
Please be reassured by the fact that a more scalable solution is
currently under development.
