I suspect the Bookspan (book club) edition does not have the CD. They produce the books themselves from Acrobat files I provide. I could be wrong, but that would be my guess. Would you like me to call and ask them? I can.

Yes. All hardcovers of it shipped have the CD.

Write to the webmaster at the Free Library and bug him about _Consulted_. I sent him the files for it on 9/13, so I know he has them.
It's entirely possible that he's waiting to release them on a particular month to fill in the month's supply of free dope^H^H^H^H books.
Hi fireboy -- yeah, the whole thing should be up there eventually. Sometimes the webmaster will put up chapters in chunks... teasingly. Be patient and all shall be revealed, er, posted.
CURSED should be up at the Baen Free Library. If it isn't by now, nag the webmaster and ask him to nag me. I'm the production mgr., btw. I had sent him the text, and he was supposed to have it up by now. It may be one of those Things To Come Soon.
I reviewed this from PCExpo last summer (2001) for BYTE.com. Still have the bugger in my office -- the best it's ever done was allow a friend who has no fine hand control but does have gross motor control over upper arm movement actually move the cursor around on a screen without vocal controls. He rather liked that aspect, even though it wasn't something the makers ever meant the gyromouse to do.
Guess the poster wasn't reading BYTE, eh?

As the production manager for a publisher that has published Mr. Anthony's work, and a production editor for his now-major publisher, Tor Books, I can agree with crtrimble that the major trade publishers =do= take (and in fact, require) work to be submitted in electronic form. It is not acceptable to send in only hard copy, though hard copy is requested for the editorial offices.
I don't know why Mr. Anthony says otherwise, especially since I know he sends in disks -- I have some of them sitting on my desk.
