No it is *not* users guide. It is reference manual. If you want user's guide, fine, but it's not the same as reference manual. And they should be different, because they serve different purpose. In this case, we need two documents, and making existing reference manual into user's guide only to struggle afterwards to get reference manual back would be a clean waste of time and effort. -- Stanislav Malyshev stas@zend.com +972-3-6139665 ext.106
