Code communicates better than documentation, is my firm belief. I
can guarantee you, I study such all code in detail, and my eyes
are trained. I don't kill and yank the code, not learning anything
from it, and then come back, demanding more. I know, some do that,
on the SX sites not the least. If you do that, then I do agree
reading is a lot better. But if you do that, you're an idiot, and
those tend not to read, either :)

No, I'm going to the library, as said. It will be interesting to
see what they have. Probably one or two old books. That is usually
the case. Tomorrow, I'll tell you the result. Could be interesting
for you, if you are into documentation and stuff, as I sense that
you are.
