[DGD] Call for critique: LPC documentation

[Noah Gibbs]

  I'm working on a rewrite of my LPC textbook.  This
will not only make me the sole author (it's a little
inconvenient having a coauthor I've never met), but
more importantly, it gets rid of the old organization
and uses a different one that's working out much
better for me so far.

  If you're looking for a tutorial on DGD's LPC or you
need to point somebody at one, please consider
"http://phantasmal.sf.net/DGD/Book/html/".  It's new
but (in my opinion) quite usable.  While it uses the
Kernel Library for its setup, that's almost entirely
to allow easy use of the compile and code commands. 
When I get a real tutorial on the DGD editor online,
that'll also allow the book to be used for remote
lessons, which should be nice.

  The current version is well over a third the length
of the old one, and I'm not even fully through the
tutorial chapter.  When and if I get it done, it
should be nicely comprehensive and should correct a
lot of my old mistakes.  However, I'm starting at
least one new major project shortly, so I'm not
guaranteeing any particular completion schedule on
this.  I imagine I'll keep writing a little every day
and checking it into Phantasmal CVS, then putting it
up on the public web site in big chunks when I feel
like it.

  Please note that this is *not* the same URL as the
old textbook, and it's not yet linked from my site. 
This is purely a request for comments to the DGD list
folks (and possibly other LPC forums).  I don't
consider this to be publicly released documentation
(yet).
