Hi all, If your talking about me with the PDF and eBook, then if it's a problem I won't redistribute it. It's actually sitting on my machine waiting to go, but I'll hold if need be. Let me know either way. hth Phil ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wolfgang Strobl" <ws@mystrobl.de> To: <michel@digicool.com>; "Amos Latteier" <amos@digicool.com>; <zope@zope.org>; <zope-book@zope.org> Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2000 10:08 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] Re: [Zope-book] Re: [Zope] Zope Book Beta | On 31 Oct 2000, at 12:54, Michel Pelletier wrote: | | > That was a joke.
