Okay, I currently have 31 nonzero diff files for the 42 .texi files in the
GCC documentation directory. Should I sit on them until I'm done with all
edits, or should I just get them merged in now? And if they should all go
in now, should I send all 31 to the list as individual messages, or would
it save everyone some time &/or bandwidth if I just attached a tarball or
posted a URL?

If a URL will do, the files are available at

    <http://devers.homeip.net:8080/gccbook/diffs/gcc_texinfo_diffs.tgz>

There's also a bzip version in the same directory, but it's actually twice
as big as the gzip one, so this file is probably of greater interest.

The individual foo.texi.diff files are all also available, same place.

As I continue to make changes, I'll start keeping the diffs here in case
anyone wants to access them.

And, like I say, if mailing the data to the list is preferred, I can do
that as well.

(Of a VERSION) being the first (and invariably the best) of a series
expected to converge on a usable product.

Owing, inter alia, to the sad decline in classical language skills, the
series never progresses to the Johannine limit of perfection at omega.
Indeed, versions beyond gamma are rarely encountered since Marketing
traditionally loses patience with QA and ships the BETA.
