i cant be online as long as it would be to read as much as i would like and would tom sell one too me? I could always go down to my library and print for like an hour i might do that.....its free...

"Free for you, [ungodly expensive] for them." =P

Printing off something that big will probably earn you some very big frowns, and make them impose a cost-per-page system in the very near future.

thats true....hmmm there was one on ebay not too long ago maybe i can just get ahold of them i think they were asjsales....then again im never at the library:P

the best compromise i found was to download the online book to my hard-drive, where i can read it offline anytime i want to. i used HTTRACK, a very nice website copier found at: http://www.httrack.com/ and it is available for Windows and Linux. Just use the online book address mentioned earlier in this thread, and it will copy all the pages to your computer. then you just burn that to a CD and can take it with you anywhere you need it! :)

thats not a bad idea but when im not on the zpu i cant read the guide thats why i desire a book of some sort. and after awhile reading the screen hurts my eye:P
In response to Nick16
well if you do decide to print it out, try to do two pages per side, so as to save some paper (double-side them too, if you can).
In response to digitalmouse
i had already thought of that, use small font, and print up like a chapter every day or so.
In response to Nick16
Also, they need to release the PDF version of the book.
In response to Scoobert
you could do it yourself- there are several freeware HTML-to-PDF programs out there. heck, you could write one in PHP.

I thought Tom uploaded a PDF version somewhere. *Begins searching the forum*

I'm pretty sure it was on digitalbyond <_<
A PDF version of the guide is now available: just click on the "DM Guide" link on the sidebar.

Ack! There seems to be a glitch; whenever a snippet of DM appears, it overlays the instructional text. It looks quite nasty in some places. Other than that, good job!

Thanks Tom!

The DM code snippets are slightly messed up for me too (using Acrobat 5, Windows XP).

actually those were zipped up copies of the online version, using HTTRACK. they'll be available again in the future.
In response to Volte
It should be fixed now. Thanks, Dan!
