Brian LaMacchia sent me e-mail saying the MIT book _was_ published with the OCR font as originally planned. No response to their CJR request, submitted in Jan or Feb. (I spoke to Hal Abelson at the CFP Conference in Feb, and that's when I got the impression the OCR font had been dropped. Apparently not.) --Tim May Views here are not the views of my Internet Service Provider or Government. ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.

Brian LaMacchia sent me e-mail saying the MIT book _was_ published with the OCR font as originally planned. No response to their CJR request, submitted in Jan or Feb. [Blatant plug for MIT Press...] For reference, the title of the book is "PGP: Source Code and Internals", ISBN 0-262-24039-4, hardcover, $60.00. There are links to the MIT Press pages from my keyserver home page (http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~bal/keyserver.html), or you can go to MIT Press's site (http://www-mitpress.mit.edu/) and look under Books/Computer Science. Orders accepted over the net using either HTML forms (SSL) or e-mail (PGP). MIT Press is also selling "MIT PGP" T-Shirts, but I don't have pricing or size information on them yet. They have the logo from the book cover on the front & back. Front says "Mind your own business," back has a copy of MIT Press's PGP public key (in ASCII-armored form). --bal
