Well, speaking on behalf of the guys who put the PD-ROM together for BMUG,
I'm sure we'd be happy to include it on the next version (which is due
out sometime this summer).  Also, if people are serious about a definitive
book of the tangible variety, BMUG may be able to help with the editing
and printing; our developers SIG is considering putting together such
a beast (dealing mostly with LSC issues but open to MPW, LSP and other
programming environments) to be called, tentatively (and no flames,
please), "The Satanic Sources".  Since we have a reasonably good
setup for editing, printing, and distribution, we might be able to
help with the compilation and production for something which would
be extremely attractively priced and available to everyone not on
the net.  People who'd like to discuss or contribute to this effort
are encouraged to get in touch with Greg Dow of the developers SIG.
He can be reached on this account or at apple!bmug!greg.dow@sun.com.
