Hi Mark,

I was just going to suggest that chapter. Roger Wagner does a great job at explaining how to put the characters up on the screen. Also, on the same archive.org site, you should be able to download the sample program disks.

Finally, if you want a physical copy of the book, you can get the new version at either Lulu or Amazon:

Cheers,
Chris
