- Thanks for buying the book and for the kind words. Let me mention that the source code is
- available free on Compuserve (GO SAMS) as well as via ftp:
-
- ftp://ftp.mcp.com/pub/sams/books/TYCPP21/
-
- The book is also available in HTML format from ZDNet's ZD University on Compuserve (GO
- ZDNET:ZDU). I'm starting a (free!) course on the second book (Teach Yourself MORE C++ In
- 21 Days) on ZD University on 4/15 at which time that book will be available in HTML as
- well.

- Thanks again!
