Release notes have a launcher - maybe we should remove that

[Leslie S Satenstein]

Pete,   I agree with the idea of having an online document.  My desire is to include a PDF or e-book version, , based on my own work habits, and perhaps reinforced by having to wear bi-focals to read.  I do not have dual monitors at home, and reading tomes with bifocals leads to sore neck..



 
Regards 

 Leslie
