I wrote you a rather long letter on the revision of Follett, little of which
would be of much interest tp this forum. Tried sending it to your
Compuserve address, but the server reported that it was refused access.
It may be that I don't know how to send a message to just one member
of this forum. Or that I don't know how to send e-mail to Compuserve.
Do I simply use the CIS number without your name?

I'll try again tomorrow, and if I can't get through will post it here. It's 6K
or so, I'm sorry to say. and I had to constrain myself.

I, too, can declare an interest in the book. I worked on it for a time
a couple of years ago.
