But I have been fortunate enough to come across DOSTIPx.ZIP (x=1, 2, 3, 4), which sounds like the same sort of thing. Talking about tricks, I've discovered that there is a rudimentary "else"-like function in the standard DOS batch facility. If you use the "|" pipe function, the command after the "|" will not be executed if the "IF" statement is true, but will be executed if the "IF" statement is false! Sounds like something for Ripley's "Believe it or not!" I've been thinking of writing that up for PC Magazine, but wasn't sure if it was something already known. Msg 42981 is 10 line(s) on 12/31/89 from ROY LIPSCOMB to GARY ELFRING re: PERFECT-FOUND MANUALS Gary, I saw your message last August about perfect binding for your manuals. I'm curious about the following: 1) How do the manuals hold up in regular use? Do pages fall out? 2) Are the manuals convenient for use by someone sitting at a terminal? 3) Do you know off-hand the price for each additional 16 pages, beyond the original 64? 4) Have you heard in the meanwhile of other companies that do perfect binding? Thanks. Msg 42982 is 07 line(s) on 12/31/89 from GARY ELFRING to ROY LIPSCOMB re: PERFECT BOUND MANUALS I've never had a page fall out of the manuals yet. They give a VERY professional look to your work. They suffer from the standard problem of all perfect bound manuals in that they won't lay flat. I lay a stapler on mine to hold it open. Note that the majority of software manufact. now make only perfect bound manuals. (Must be the price.) Pricing moves up by 8 - 10 cents for each page increment (8 or 16 pages, I forget which). Whitehall company is the only place I know of.

In other words, if it's got eight outlets, can you plug eight of these in without the transformers covering up other outlets?
