Unfortunately, Ernie, your corrections won't be there.
It will be the original that is released--another
aspect of the system that would be nice if it could be
changed. The only way that could happen, though, that
I can see would be if instead of releasing what's on
our upload page we could submit our partially worked
files to the download list. I suppose one could reject
what's there and submit the partially corrected one,
which would then go on the download list, but then the
original submitter wouldn't get the credit.

Gerald, I'm in the est zone; but I'm usually up till
about 4:00 so I might
try again then.
If the system won't accept the book, I'll just let
it go back, and somebody
can have the fun of correcting the errors I left.
I've read it, so I can do
without it.
Peace,
Ernie
