I found a copy of "Pick Basic, A programmers Guide ('87)" in my local non-chain
bookstore, back in the late 80's, which I keep around to help non-MV
programmers try to get a handle on Pick basic and MV technique. Now if I tried
to find a Universe book at any store, I'd be in the Space and Astronomy section.
I don't think we are anti-book, everything should be free at all. It's just
there's nothing out there to buy.
I think a "Wintergate for Dummies" or a new "Universe Admistrator's Guide"
(including *nix and win)
would go over fairly well, within our community. But that's about it, I
don't think there would be much profit it in.
and without profit, getting something published without paying outright for
the job doesn't happen often, or the cost
of the book would make one think twice about buying it, unless their company
purchased it for them.
