- A number of people have asked me the same questions about the book, so I
- figured that one answer will suffice for everyone.
-
- 1) Hopefully, the book will be published by next August, in time for Crypto
- 93.
-
- 2) There will be a source code disk that goes along with the book. No, it
- will not be sold with the book. (Keep in mind that the author has little
- say in any of these decisions--it's the publisher's call.) I will, myself,
- sell it seperately. I don't know for how much; enough to cover expenses.
- Unfortunately, I cannot send it to addresses outside the country. I won't be
- able to put the code on an ftp site for the same reason. (I don't like this
- solution either, but it wasn't my choice.)
-
- 3) Right now the plan is for the book to come out in both a hardcover and
- a paperback edition. Who knows what will happen when the time comes.
-
- Otherwise, I am still looking for pieces of code to include.
