Hey... no "ahems" please.  We're workin' on it as fast as our
collective busy schedules will allow.  (It's competing with my
billable time, and my credit card balances are *much* too high to
simply blow off work.)

But, on a good note, I indexed the last chapter last night, and OR&A
should have all the text in by the end of the week.  Larry's been
pullin' a heckuva heavy workload to get this finished in time for
delivery by Usenix/Uniforum in January.  So far, it looks like we made
it.

(troff'ing last night generated 325 pages without index or TOC... it's
huge.)

Stay tuned for the "real" announcement.  It's close... just hang in
there.
