Hi Jochen, Indeed, we are considering converting the format at some time to the Python doc format (it would be a requirement in order to get it into the standard library). If you would do that it would be a great help (presuming you can access the current format...other than retyping it!) It is currently in Framemaker format (that's what the original Numeric manual was in). I was just beginning to mull over how best to convert formats. There is a Framemaker Interchange Format (SGML-based) that might be the easiest way to deal with it. Or perhaps the brute force method of converting it to ascii and adding Python doc markup would be the fastest. Any other ideas? Thanks, Perry Greenfield
