Everything in the book should be considered alpha and used at your own
risk.  Until the book hits the shelf, expect at least a few errors (and
maybe even some after...)

The URL is in the book:

I don't know.  I suspect it's UNIX specific, but I'm sure you can pay
for a similar NT solution.

No, in fact I've removed that section from the book because of it's
tentative nature.

The lead coda developer/professor gave a talk at LinuxWorld '99 that I
attended, he addmitted to the cruft but also said coda was stable.

picture.
