Thank you very much for the addendum to the bibliography with the
TECHWR-L Digest - 31 Jan 1996 to 1 Feb 1996. I have been
looking for such a bibliography for a long time. I have 3 points for you:
1.
I don't have the original bibliography because I didn't know
about TECHWR-L before about a week ago. My first version is
consequently the issue of 24 January 1996. If the version send with
the TECHWR-L Digest - 31 Jan 1996 to 1 Feb 1996 is not a complete
version, PLEASE, send me the complete version as a MS Word 6 file to
prc -at- pip -dot- dknet -dot- dk -dot- I can decode UUDECODE, MIME and BinHex.
2.
I have just reviewed a good new book for the Danish weekly Ingenioren.
