This appendix provides information on the contents of the CD-ROM that accompanies this book, and the system requirements for using the sample files and trial applications that enhance the text content of the book.
| Note |
For the latest version of this appendix, including any late-breaking updates, please refer to the ReadMe file located in the root directory of the CD-ROM. |
| Caution |
If your CD-ROM is missing from the book when you purchase it, return it to the store where you bought it and get a copy of the book that has a CD-ROM included. If you lose or damage your CD or it gets stolen, your best option is to contact the publisher (Wiley) and tell them your story — they may be able to help you, but there are no guarantees that you'll get a free replacement. The phone and e-mail contact info for Wiley Publishing is provided at the end of this appendix. Please do not contact the authors with your missing CD-ROM stories — although they have been entertaining at times and we would like to help, we just don't happen to have a warehouse full of extra CD-ROM disks! |
