No, but nothing there has stopped being valid and there's little fundamentally new on the subject (what you're asking about here has been in the shell for most of its history, but subject to tweaks). I kind of stopped work on the guide when the book came along, but actually at that point it was complete up to the sort of things I thought it needed. Anything more would depend a bit what the questions were --- I suppose it would need some sort of specific project to work through. pws
