I’d like to mention John Seago and Mike Gabor in particular as they helped refine
several technical sections with many detailed comments and suggestions. Their insight,
in-depth knowledge, and attention to detail were invaluable in making the later editions
a reality.
This fourth edition used FrameMaker Ver 10.0. While some difficulties exist with its
ability to handle extended metafiles, I was able to work around most of them. Finally,
and certainly not least, Jim Wertz helped get this edition published. His counsel has
been important throughout this effort, and I am always very grateful for his assistance!
