This website is meant to be used by people who have purchased the book. So, if you find the content useful, please support this site by buying a copy of the book. The book is the most comprehensive quick reference available and it's a great bargain for 1000 pages! :-)

Although the site has almost a thousand examples, it's still missing a lot more. I welcome your requests for particular examples as well as suggestions for improving the book and website. I'll post any new examples that I write. Please send email to . Although I promise to read all the mail I receive, I may not be able to reply to everyone.

Thanks,
Pat
