When I wrote the book proposal in 1999 (yes, that long ago) part of
the pitch was that there had been linkers and loaders since the late
1940s but there'd never been more than the occasional article or
chapter. So either this was the book that the world had been awaiting
for half a century, or this will prove that there is no market for it.
It kind of did both, never selling huge numbers but still in print.
