At present the Wizard's Manual is available only in this form, laboriously
printed on a laser printer: The manual was divided into several sections,
and for each section two {\TT.dvi} files were produced, one for printing
the odd-numbered pages, one for the even-numbered pages.
As a result of this procedure, which was carried out fairly hastily,
several anomalies may occur, like running
heads on otherwise blank pages, or two footnotes on a page both
numbered~1: these anomalies are artifacts that do not occur when
the file is handled normally.
\bigskip
In the unlikely event that there is sufficient interest in this
Wizard's Manual to warrant publication as a book, a special rate will be
given to those who have ordered the manual in its current form.
\medskip
Meanwhile, updates will be issued as bugs are discovered and corrected,
or as new
features are
added.
\bigskip
The idea of making an index is too horrible to contemplate---many, many
entries
would probably have dozens of citations. However, when the manual seems
to have reached a stable state I will provide a ``source'' code. This
will not be a {\TT.tex} file, but a sort of ASCII representation of the
book, so that one can use a text editor to search for anything.
\bigskip
Meanwhile, of course, please report any misprints, mistakes, omissions,
bugs,
etc., either by mail,
