Re: Redlining (was Re: Taboo Broken Again)

Carter, I do appreciate the advice on red-lining but I still doubt
i'll be able to convince my co-author to use it.

we are on the last 75 pages of a 400 page book with deadline looming.
I can't even get him to switch over to a spare 14.4 modem i have so
despite my cutting edge 33.6, we are exchanging files at 2400 baud..

does this mean there is no hope for getting modes to cooperate?
sigh. any advice that will help us with the current methods would be
of great help. Next co-author, i swear, will be computer literate :)
