Hi Kevin,

There is nothing in concrete on that yet.  Like I said, I have to finish
school for this semester before I have the time to address any updates to
the book.  It is just something that I know I have to start working on just
after New Year so I will have it ready about the time the stack of second
printing editions are all gone from the warehouse.  Its a slow process.  I
would not be surprized if was not until the end of 2003.

It is a given that the next version of the book will deal more (much more!)
with digital processing.  Its amazing how fast the who field has sprung up
since I finished writing the manuscript for the book.  This area was in such
infancy back then that I deliberately glossed over it because whatever I
would have writen would have been out of date within a few months.  Today I
think things are more stable.   It may be possible to actually get something
into print before the rules change <G>.
