Apologies for addressing as Priscilla and co. I read through it after
sending and seemed a bit cheeky. I normally avoid directing questions. I
knew that Priscilla had previous knowledge of the process, but not sure who
else on the group.
Seems a bit careless. It's my understanding that Version 1.1 has just been
released (updated version). You'd think that the course notes would be put
through a trial run before release, so that at least obvious mistakes can be
ironed out.
I think from the table I was talking about, the 'x's fell off the printing
press and a cleaner had a guess at where they came from. They're all over
the place. :-)
Regards,
Gaz
