It is.  I am sorry.  I work for a rich, fat-cat company and getting
things is easy for me.  I should have more sympathy for those developers
without the resources that I have available to me.

However, I think both the GS/OS manuals and the Toolbox Reference 3 will
be beta an awful long time, and it is probably not worth the wait, esp.
since you need the material now.  There is an awful lot of information
in these that you really need to program in System 5.0.x.  I really
don't think that much will change with final draft.

Once again, please accept my apology.  I did not realize your situation.
