Let's see, what book could Dan Winkler think is "dog meat"?  What books have
been endorsed in this forum?  Danny Gooman's book and Dan Shafer's book, at
least.  Are there any others?  I would presume that Winkler is not referring
to Goodman's book, since it was written under the guidance of people at
Apple.  (Despite the guidance of people at Apple, Goodman's book is pretty
elementary--not much better than just studying the online help that comes
with HyperCard.)  So what books are left that he might be referring to?
Shafer's?
