Just a thought.... The edition in the archive is an
online one with hyperlingks to jump around. I was
wondering 2 things:
1) Why hasn't anyone made this into a Newton Book
yet???!!!!
2) If I tried to do this would Paperback2.0 support
the Hyperlinks or would I have to go through
BookMaker?? [sidenote: Victor I think the Paperback
2.0 on the archive has become corrupted. I found an
earlier download of it and it worked but the one there
now doesn't(mac version)]
