Earl, this has been considered by some heavy hitters here. Problem is that BIAB is a moving target, what with updates, upgrades, and patches being implemented so frequently that it would almost have to be done by PG Music (which we have ruled out in this discussion) or their designated agent.

Pat Marr and I discussed this during his brief visit, and he brought up something very interesting. The US military and many, many tech firms provide documentation in three-ring binders and numbered in such a way that updates to their manuals can be issued as individual pages that can be inserted into the existing binders while maintaining continuity.

Taken a step further, these could be made available as downloadable pages which could be printed, three-hole punched, and inserted by individual users. This way PG Music would not be responsible for printing or distribution, just creating and appropriately numbering the inserts. I would still like an index, but a well-organized current table if contents would serve nearly as well.

As before, I think this should be set up and maintained by a third-party specialist. If said entity had permission to post to PGM's website, the entire task could be lifted from their shoulders, leaving them free to concentrate exclusively on Job One: Producing and selling their products.
