Andrei, Do you have a publisher yet? They will probably give you quite a definitive answer. They usually have quite strong ideas about the market they are aiming for. If is is to be a university text book, then Yes! I realize that doing it is a pain in the ass. You have to test every little thing to the limit, which takes forever. But if you do it you will sort out bugs in the book. Don't envy you, especially given the moving target of D2 ;=) But the best of luck. Steve
