No proprietary software was used during the composition of this book. Drafts were typeset
from XML-DocBook master files created with GNU Emacs and psgml. Postcript generation
was performed using Tim Waugh's xmlto (which the author substantially enhanced during
production), Norman Walsh's XSL stylesheets, Daniel Veillard's xsltproc, Sebastian Rahtz's
PassiveTeX macros, the TeTeX distribution of Donald Knuth's TeX typesetter, and Thomas
Rokicki's dvips postprocessor. The entire composition toolchain was hosted by stock Red
Hat Linux.
