RE: PHP website

Dear Goba, Per your request I am "Replying All" to your earlier message. I was a little early in contacting you in December but I am pleased to report that we have made a pre-release version of the ThoutReader available to you on our website: www.osoft.com. The content in there now is for MySQL. Within the next few weeks we will be adding Perl and PHP referenceware packages, allowing developers to search, bookmark, and append content across all installed packages. [The PHP package was a challenge for us because of its size and memory requirements. We actually had to re-write some of the code to accept it. Now we can handle any sized content.] We have also heard from several major publishers who are interested in working with us to convert some of their existing e-book into the ThoutReader format. We are in the process of setting up an account at SourceForge for the ThoutReader. We believe that the ThoutReader is an extremely useful tool for developers in general and for PHP users specifically. We will be getting a lot of interest when we launch v1.0 (April 2004) and we would like to work with you on increasing PHP's popularity and revenue. Please let me know how we can be of further assistance. Mark ============================================ Mark D. Carey President OSoft, Inc. 2511 S.

It seems that your reader implements some of the functionality we always wanted to provide in our offline manuals (though not all of them :). [Please keep on using "reply all" as usual :)] Goba
