Manual of the Beast

[Søren Hauberg]

Hi,
  Since I can now build Octave from CVS I had a quick look at the 
result of 'make octave-smallbook.pdf' in 'doc/interpreter'. The manual 
is currently 666 (number of the Beast, we should probably avoid that 
specific number of pages :-) ) pages. I'll try to spend some time on 
minimizing the number of overfull paragraphs.
  Anyway, since the manual is getting quite big, I got curious as to 
how the book will be published. Will this be a two-volume book? If so, 
do we need to do something specific to split the manual or will the 
publishers do that?
