I like that idea but I think this requires a lot of work, I'm willing to
translate into Dutch if I can find a few other people to help me (I

SEUL will be mentioned by computer mags, adn in all Internet newsgroups,
so in the beginning we won't need a marketing manager (or whatever)...

This is a very big problem, many man pages are available but they are
all written for and by people who know a lot about UNIX/Linux... Perhaps
this part will be the bigest of our task...

In my opinion this is the same as writing a good helpfile (I don't like
to say this but I think we will need a sort of help-interface which
looks like the Windows helpfiles).

Have a nice weekend!
