First, a hearty, "Thank you," to everyone who asked for a 
revised version of "OS/2 Warp Unleashed."  Your persistance 
may, indeed, pay off.

I'm in the middle of discussions with a publisher who 
believes in the project.  There are some steps we must take 
before we can proceed. The two we're focusing on now are: 
(a) develop a table of contents (ToC) and a proposal (b) put 
together a team to make it happen.

The publisher wanted us to develop the ToC first and then 
run it by the folks who responded directly to them.  I told 
the publisher that I'd rather let it start with our readers.

So, this is your opportunity!  What would you like to see in 
the next edition of "...Unleashed," it is WIDE open!!!

Somethings we've discussed: IBM's latest Warp Server for 
e-commerce (codenamed Aurora), Internet access, Java (and 
NetRexx), CID, FixPack installation, interoperability with 
other systems, client side, server side, whatever...  There 
are NO limits! 

Like past editions of the book we'll focus on what is, not 
what might be. We will make sure to dig beneath the surface 
to provde our readers with the best possible coverage of any 
book. That much you can assume...  ;-))

This is a golden opportunity.  Rarely has there been such a 
strong movement to revive a book.  Thanks to everyone who 
persisted and refused to give up.  

The bottom line: I have two separate and related needs...  

1.  Content, what you'd like to see the book cover 

2.  Volunteers...  my other task is to put together a team 
to make this happen. OS/2 has not gotten smaller, it will 
take a team to make it happen.  So, if you're interested in 
writing a chapter or two for the book, let me know (I also 
need to know your field of expertise, too ;-)).  

I'm looking for experts or people willing to do the digging 
to become expert!  People who have already discovered or 
willing to commit to take the time to present to readers 
what should have been in the manual(s).

I don't know about financial arrangements. I haven't gotten 
that far in my discussions with the publisher.  If you have 
specific requirements in this area, I need to know that, 
too.

There it is...  If you really want to see another edition of 
Warp Unleashed now is the time. Let me know.  We can make 
this happen!  

Please feel free to spread this note far and wide.  The more 
people that respond the better.  Don't assume that someone 
else requested something you want. Don't assume someone else 
volunteered.  You do it!   Whne you assume you make an "ass" 
of "u" and, "me."  Do it!!!

Thank you!!!
