Ah, I should have put my email address in the Preface.  Anyway, it is

I would be happy to make the file publically available.  Utah cs has
anonymous ftp available, all I need to do is copy the file out there
in whatever the appropriate directory is.  I'll get do it as soon as I
can, so you and anyone else that wants a copy can pick one up.  If
there are other parts of the book that you would like, I might be able
to extract them from the text (I LaTeX'd the entire book except for
the word LISP on the title page -- I couldn't get a font that big!!).
For example, I made the expert system avaiable to a colleague (who
promptly found a big which I haven't had time to track down -- any
takers out there?).  SO, the files will be called bobjects.l (the b
prepended is because we had an objects.l from another system, so had
to give it something unique) and es.l for the expert systems chapter.
