I should add that Spok keeps a list of the online books available for
downloading. This is now numbered in thousands and has been moved
to an American University site. (I have a link to `Spok' in my `List
of URLs') Four of my books and two pamphlets are among those available
and have been for over five years. There must have been many thousand
downloadings but only my `Cat POems' pamphlet seems to retain interest
with up to a possible 100/downloadings a week.
The interest in Jacob Epsteins essay is prompted by Stephen KIng's short
story for money which has made him a lot of cash. For me it is a very
rare event for one of my readers to actually request paper copies of
my books, so I wonder how many people will fork out for books
that they have to create themselves. It will be most interesting.
According to Epstein there are only 20,000 copies of the rquired
softare around at present.
For those interested my books can be found at

The later work tends not to be directly downloadable as it is collected
from various files.
