Through some most difficult times, my secretary Marion, and her husband Ed, have been unfailing in their support, both emotional and technical.

I would like then, to say, "thank you" to Marion and Ed Hausmann, of Savoy Design and Editorial Services, for making the technical production of this book possible.

The author also wishes to thank Brent Kobayashi and Caroline LeBel of Kobayashi Technology and Dave Aldan for the meticulous work necessary to place this book on the World Wide Web, and for the high level of caring they brought to this project.
