Not good. I have "OS/2 Warp UNLEASHED" by Moskowitz, Kerr & others shipped
    by SAMS to me by way of sample as to the base material from which to 
    work. 

A few pages in, it says 
   "Copyright 1995 by Sams Publishing."
   THIRD EDITION

The fourth edition is to cover Warp 4.

Here is what I now believe
   As David says, the book is proceeding.
   It's not surprising David hadn't heard of my involvement as disuccsions 
    regarding completed.
   SAMS decided for resons they chose not to divulge to me that they did 
    nt wish to use my services after all.
   Cari Skaggs, representing SAMS Publishing, told me a story other than 
    the truth.

My dealings with SAMS have not been entirely heartwarming. I hope their 
    other authors have a better experience than mine.
