Preserve,
Many thanks for your welcome message.
One book is due out n e x t m o n t h, and I am doing last-minute work on the proofs. Then I have a mountain of work to do on the bigger assignment, which will take me well into 2005.
All this means that I have some difficulty reconciling the two kinds of work, but seem to manage on the whole.
I'm delighted to meet you here on this board, and have high hopes for how things may work out for SCMI.
Best regards,
