The new chapter-based output is much better.
I would suggest that Karl's background of PDL
be placed in as a Forward to the book (which is
what it is).

Also, Craig's book input might make a better
framework with which to consolidate the current
sections and would provide a reasonable TOC
as well.  Currently, some of the explanations are
more reference list-like rather than explanatory.

I'll work on cleaning up the 3D graphics for you
by tomorrow.

Cheers,
Chris
