 One thing I've learnt from this thread is that there are people here who
 I do not intend to make deals with -- ever. Their standard of behaviour
 and mine are just too different. 
Before anyone gets too much more upset by this discussion, perhaps I should
mention that John just told me that if I really wanted the book, he thought
it had once been available on the web.  That reminded me of something I
checked out a year or two ago.  The curious might investigate

but don't expect vast amounts of serious technical info.
BTW, if anyone has the "GIO Bus Specification" referred to in Chapter 4,
I'd like a copy  :-)
