the printed books -- but since I'll do quite some traveling soon

I decided for the CD's and I already started to like them.

BUT the error in the search engine on any Linux platform is annoying.

Just to edit the archive=qagent.zip out of all the fsearch.htm files

is not enough (for me anyway).

The problem I found in addition is the file:

fieldedsearchapplet.class in all */jobjects/com/jobjects/quest directories.

but the file actually called from fsearch.htm is named (correctly and consistently with the actual class name defined inside the class file):

FieldedSearchApplet.class.

Now *nix is CASE sensitive.

Simple links will do nicely and won't break the windows support since

that won't care about case anyway. If you should burn it back to some CD rock-ridge extension will even preserve the symbolic links.

And another bug I didn't find anyone mention yet:

The master Index, symbols has only dead links. The bookname (directory) is missing in all of them.
