of these three volumes, either by e-mail attachment or by diskette (3 in
all), please contact me via my e-mail address below. I am making this volume
available in digital format (in Microsoft Word for either Macintosh or
Windows) due to popular demand for much less than the original hard copy
long ago sold out. The digital version includes all updates (includes all
info from the supplement on this web page) and corrections to date. The
hard copy (3-volume set) sold for $130 six years ago. The digital version
is less than half that amount if sent to you via e-mail attachment. Contact
