Good work , but the doofus story needs polishing up ....
Put [TODO]s anywhere you're stuck ...

I'll work up a strategy for formatting this ...
(LaTeX vs TexInfo ...) ... Attatched is my LaTeX effort 

`pdflatex pnet-book.tex`

I would like it very much if someone gives me a preview of any
other formatting ideas they might have ....

I'll be working on the OO side of business and I would like one
of the new people to work on the install side of life .... (I have
forgotten the issues involved in it... ;-)

Please use the { 's and use small letters as far as possible ...

Not good enough .... :-( ...

Nested If's and Ternary Expressions don't qualify as Advanced/Expert
as this book is aimed at a person with some programming background 
in a similar language like C ... (forget OO)

Btw, the pnet cscc needs a break last time I looked (but no fall through)
, as well as missing codegen entries for goto and goto default ;-)
