I haven't looked at it in years.  It appears to be in good shape, a few pages have my notes on them.  I'd be willing to part with mine, but it's 5 lbs so it would cost a bit to ship it and I'd have to find a box. Karen -Original Message- From: Thom To: rbase-l@googlegroups.com

I was a co-author of those books, with David M. Blocker. I'm afraid they are beyond recovery. The last versions were written in Ami Pro, WordStar, or maybe even the Describe word processor on OS/2, and self-published by David. Even if we could find the source files, I'm not sure we could read
