So, what's the difference between the Second edition and the later ones?
As far as I know, Pierpoint stated in the Second edition, which the Canadian 
site lists as the third edition. "This book may be freely reproduced and 
published, but only on a no-profit basis in order to make it as widely available 
as possible to those who need it...N0HFF"

And so, I am confused by the statement on the the FISTS page...proclaiming it as 
the "Official" download site....and really perplexed by the words
"You may link 
to this page, but please do not put the book file on your server."

It would appear that there are several sources for the book.

The one I put up is slightly different, in that you can download a complied
HTML version....which is smaller and faster than either the html or pdf 
versions...but, the downside is that it's only going to work on an IBM style 
computer.
