Greg & Murray, Thanks for your interest.
Yes, I have heard that you're polishing the handbook. What's the
deadline for the new edition?
Greg, I completely agree with your emphasis on accuracy. Incorrect doc
is much worse than none at all. I'm eager for your input.
I think I have to add some of the <procedure> and <programlisting>
markup myself before your review. Otherwise, you'd have to review the
raw SGML.
I hope to get that part of the markup done and touch up a few figures in
the next day or two. That'd get you a review copy this weekend or Monday
at the latest. How's that?
Bob
