How hard would it be to produce an application that updated the offline
documentation to match updates to the online documentation?  Digests like
MD5 or SHA1 would be sufficient for detecting file changes and the plus
would be that documentation would always be up to date.  Something like
CVS that tracks modification could also be used and in this case the
"repository" would be the online documentation tree.
