Why not just send a normal letter with polite corrections?  I've
only met Jerry once (Hackers V3.0) but he seemed reasonably
receptive to technical correction.

Also get see if you can get your hands on a copy of October
Robo City News.  "Hacking At Poor Palace" should have you rolling
with laughter.  (Let us just say that it is the "other approach"
to correcting Jerry Pournelle's technical blunders).  If I had
a scanner I'd upload it. Good stuff.

Robo's subsciption "cool-line" is 415-595-5452. "...more fluff,
less stuff."
