That's "voluminous", and I claim my $2.56. :-) But of course you're right. No book is perfect, so every book /should/ have an errata list - at least until such time as an author can correct errors in already-sold books. That not every book does have such a list is therefore of some concern. -- Richard Heathfield <http://www.cpax.org.uk> Email: -http://www. +rjh@ "Usenet is a strange place" - dmr 29 July 1999 Sig line vacant - apply within -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
