News on new version of RPG Redbook

[Jon.Paris@xxxxxxxxxx]

As promised here's the latest update from Brian Smith of the ITSO on the RPG
Redbook. As you'll see this time the source library and everything is available
for download.  Those of you who were waiting for the C function stuff grab it
now while the spirit of Paris' purple prose still lives !!!

Go get it !!!

Well, believe it or not, we have taken a great Redpiece on RPG IV and made
it even better!  No, really!  The team has been busy updating most of the
technical examples based upon the fantastic review comments we received.
The are now more robust, complete, and for the most part follow all the
style guidelines!  Jon has added an all brand-new introduction to the API
chapter (Chapter 5.0) that is brilliant - reads just like he teaches!

So, the technical side of the book is done.  It is now in the hands of our
very capable editors to clean up the formatting and our English.  ETA for
the final Redbook is mid-January.
