Thanks, Pratik, I will.  How did you handle the equations in the Appendix.  I 
don't imagine they came out very well.

  Evan,

  Parts of this book were  quite unworkable because of charts and graphs.  I 
worked on the main body and the notes section but was unable to salvage the 
index section.  Actually, I didn't work much on that section at all.  I 
uploaded it this morning.  At the rate Gustavo is going, it should be in the 
collection in the next few days.  Despite the highly scientific nature of this 
book, K1K ended up giving a 99.31 rating in the end.  Had I ignored all the 
scientific terminology with rank spelling, it would've given it a much higher 
rating.  Basically I read the thing through almost from cover to cover.  

  Enjoy reading it.

  Pratik

  Pratik, I am happy to hear that you are validating this book.  I read RFB&D's 
version, and I have a feeling that this would be a huge job.  Are you going to 
do the vast Notes section?  Also, are you planning to do the index?  I guess I 
could understand if you decided that it was too much work, not being core 
content and all, but I really hope you will.  It is a fabulous book, which as I 
said, I read from RFB&D, but I really look forward to a searchable version with 
Notes and Index if you are willing to do it.  You have my admiration for taking 
on this big job, but I believe that this book is worth the large amount of work 
necessary to get it into excellent shape.

  Thanks.
