Re: Re: Recommendations for a programming book?

Subsection 8.2 (not 8.3) of Appendix B is somewhere near 30 pages of instructions and code, with many caveats about speed and memory. Congratulations to anyone who can get through all of it.

It would be far more "helpful" if the help files were already built for us.
