Thanks for pointing me to it.  I looked at the material at the site, and 
it looks like a book that I would very much like to read in depth and 
make cryptic notes on  the pages.    So went to Amazon.com and found a 
used copy for not very much money and have ordered that.  (I suppose 
that I could maintain that all books should be free, just to excite 
certain people who shall remain nameless, but I won't).
