One large file....

[Fred W. Schneider III]

I fail to understand, Jim

how providing you folks with a Table of Contents to the large book that Ed has
can provoke so much comment.  Ed asked me to make a Table of Contents as a MS
Word document.  I did that for Ed.  I also sent a copy to all of you so you
could see what was in the book.  I fail to comprehend the statement about when
will the other 300 pages be done?  There is some misunderstanding out there.
I'm not retyping the entire document and I don't know anyone that is.  If you
want it, you pay Ed Lybarger.
