Thanx for the posting, Dean.

This is an explanation that I can relate to.  Not that it matters, but
your explanation *is* appreciated.  *Sigh*.  :-(  I guess I had made
the (erroneous) assumption that the folks that had written the various
sections previously would have little problem doing updates.  Though
some of the new stuff (Java, VTD, etc.) would be new material.

Shows what I know.  :-)  :-(

Thanx.
