Not true. The book is a re-telling of the seminar workbook we've been using for years. FORGE is mentioned, but the only details have to do with the run-time monitor. An extensive timing example is reproduced in the book. Also, the book only relates to vectorization. FORGE/MIMDIZER does more. -- /\=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=/\ \/Richard Friedman (415)540-5216 | rchrd@well.sf.ca.us \/ /\Pacific-Sierra Rsrch (Berkeley) | or well!rchrd@apple.com /\ \/=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=\/
