Sure, I'd love to. Alas, I have neither the time or money to get
involved in such a project. If I'm going to spend a year (minimum)
to put something like that together, I'll need a reasonable return
on my investment. My 8088 book took a man-year to write and edit.
I'm not willing to do that for something which will sell 1,000
copies (or less).tsouth@techbook.com (Todd South) (12/22/90)

It sounds to me that if you feel you could get a good return investment for it you would be interested in doing the project(s). Have you thrown this idea in front of any publishers you've done previous work for? I can't believe that your reputation (at least from what I've seen as a hacker growing up reading your books) would not have some lean on a project of this nature in some of your old publishing houses. Would you like to run a survey on it? :) Todd... -- -- tsouth@techbook.COM ...!{tektronix!nosun,uunet}techbook!tsouth Public Access UNIX at (503) 644-8135 (1200/2400) Voice: +1 503 646-8257 Public Access User --- Not affiliated with TECHbooks
