If that is the case, then I apologize. I am not aware of such a beta, but
just because i am not aware of it does not mean it doesn't exist.
The last thing I really want is a flame war on this - you didn't flame, but
I can see the discussion coming. I gave my two cents worth based on what I
know about it, and I won't comment further.
Back to programming.

It was my understanding that this was the beta version
of the CD bookshelf that was freely distributed before
the CD bookshelf went on sale.
Question - Is it unethical to give away a beta version
of a software (or CD books) after the commercial
version is marketed? Surely O'Reilly would have known
by providing a free beta version, that it would make
it's way around the net??????
