I don't know if it's my computer or the disc, but the search funx does not work.
That's my only real complaint about the Snidal manual -- it's not searchable, because even though it's set up like a website, it doesn't run on a webserver.
There's a utility for windows called "Harddisk Search & Stats" that works well enough.
http://www.harddisksearch.com. If you use this, just make sure you browse to the CD first (so it doesn't search everything on your computer), and search only in file types .htm, .html, and maybe .txt. Also, on the "Options" tab, select "Use Windows default" as your file viewer. That way, when you double-click a search "hit", it'll open up the page in your default web browser, instead of its internal viewer (which doesn't display web pages properly).
