Re: multiple process calls from GTK

Harring,

Is Steven's book or something like it available online? I am deaf-blind, 
so this is an important question for me. If not, how can the printed 
book 
be obtained? Perhaps I can arrange to have it converted to e-text or 
html. 

on a more trivial note, what is the algorithm you used to arrive at the 
figure of 932 e-mails?
