Howard & Group,
	I would like to throw out an item for discussion. That is the
possiblity of publishing PFCv4 only on CD. Production costs are
generally cited as around $2/CD. You could charge $25/copy and probably
make more $/copy than you are getting from Wiley. This would also give
you much greater control over graphics & presentation and allow free use
of color graphics. If you migrated to an HTML based format a la Purdue
CDs, you could also include sound files (songs!) as well as original
cytometry data files. In this day and age it is nearly impossible to
find a PC/Mac that does not have a CD drive. It would be somewhat less
convenient that a printed book but could be made available to a wider
audience due to the significantly reduced price.
	As for content, I would suggest adding an FAQ chapter, perhaps
in collaboration with Steve Kelley. Hope this helps.

-Jim Weaver
