Something which can be modified later when all software evolves. More so if it is only publisher getting all the money. With consequence that the book is not read by people who we wish to read it. When a book is freely available, people may browse it just because they are curious. Are you able to place the text available with a free license? If we have to start from the scratch, then that should not be a problem. Juhana -- http://music.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-graphics-dev for developers of open source graphics software
