>I've been maintaining this document for nearly six years (I believe
|
|
the first submitted version was January 1998). I've received a lot of
|
|
e-mail, almost all of it positive with a lot of great suggestions, and I've
|
|
had a really good time doing this. Thanks to everyone for the support,
|
|
suggestions, and translations! </P

|
|
>I've had several requests both from individuals and the LDP group to issue
|
|
a new version of this document, and it's long past due (two and a half years
|
|
since the last version) - for which I apologize. Converting this monster
|
|
to DocBook format was a daunting task, and then when I realized that I
|
|
could now include images, I decided I needed to include all the cool
|
|
examples that currently reside on my homepage. Adding these is a slow
|
|
process, especially since I'm improving the code as I go, so only a few are
|
|
included so far. This document will probably always feel incomplete to me
|
|
... I think however that it's reasonably sound from a technical point of
|
|
view (although I have some mailed in fixes that aren't in here yet
|
|
- if you've heard from me, they'll get in here eventually) so I'm going to
|
|
post it and hope I can get to another version soon. </P
|
|

|
|
>One other revision of note: this document (as requested by the LDP) is now
|
|
under the GFDL. Enjoy. </P
