This is a deal killer. Seeing things next to each
other is vital. It's the reason we had to chop
down so many trees in the olden days, for highly
cross-referenced listings (even with tiny little
laser print shrinking 2 older green-bar listing
pages to one 8.5" by 11") to stretch out across
conference tables next to each other.

OTOH, some of us have been linking static and
dynamic libraries since the 1970s and it was
straight-forward enough back then that we could
teach 70 year old mechanical engineers how to do
it, so why should we have to stand on our heads
and sacrifice pigeons to get it to work, now?
