Well, here's what I found out. For those of you who are anxiously
awaiting the release of the new daemon book the answer is... Keep waiting.
The AW representative that I spoke to was very helpful and eager to
answer my questions about the book though her answers were somewhat
disappointing. She said that any rumors about the impending release of
the new daemon book were far from the truth and that a more realistic
release date is probably around April or May of next year.
She did give me the ISBN however, for whatever good it will do at
this point. The number is 0-201-59146. Seems like there should be
another number in there but that's what she gave me.
