Please forgive me for giving the wrong person credit.  I just found my
old Mince manual and sure enough the acknowledgement at the the start
of the chapter, you thanked Richard Stallman for his work.  I didn't know
who wrote the Mince manual since the author of the work signed his name
as Mark of the Unicorn.

I'm sure it will be a book worth buying.  You can tell that I was 
impressed with your paper by the fact that I still have my old Mince
manual, yet no longer have the ability to run any CP/M program.  I kept
it explicitly due to your thesis.
