# To subscribers of the xforms list from "T.C. Zhao" <tc_zhao@yahoo.com> :
Hi all,
The current doc is simply outdated. I meant to dig out the doc and update it
and hand it to Steve, but haven't been able to do it (my linux 0.99 machine
hasn't booted in a long time). Rest assured that the doc will be free in the
spirit of xforms source itself.
When you're implicitly responsible for people's paychecks and product field
emergencies, non-work related activities have to give. Hope you all
understand. I'll try to get the doc updated and hand it to Steve ASAP.
