There will be no new book for the time being.  Have a heart.  Getting the
software is work enough, without tackling the book right now.

No.  It seemed strange that the first Atari release would be 1.3.

I am still very interested in hearing about whether the printer
driver works.  I have been offered a new one, but first I want to know
if the old one works, and on what machines/printers.
