This book owes its existence to Mike Meehan, Senior Acquisitions Editor at Prentice Hall PTR. Mike has always been there to answer queries, provide suggestions, and move the project toward completion. Thanks.

I would like to thank Microsoft Corporation for a constant supply of timely information and software. In particular, Dilip Mistry, Chris Stirrat, and Megan Stuhlberg always came up with the goods.

My special thanks to my family Therese, Hannah, and Tim for their great patience throughout another writing project. The next one will be easier!

The staff at G&S Typesetters in Austin, Texas, did a really great job in taking my words and making them understandable and well presented. Those who helped included Alison Rainey, Joshua Goodman, and Carolyn S. Russ.

Finally, I would like to thank in advance you, the readers, who provide very valuable feedback, criticism, and encouragement. Please feel free to email me at the address below. I will try to answer as many of the emails as possible.
