4th paragraph, the calculation

The formula should read : "(that's 8192 x 2 + 1)"
but instead, the formula reads as : "(that's 8193 x 2 + 1)"
The one was added to the block offset before the multiplication and then added again
after the multiplication, as printed in the book. One should only be added to the
block offset after it has been multiplied. Simple typo, but could be a dangerous
hassle for someone who needs to recover their superblock.

Object menu. Tcl, Tk 8.0.4, X 3.3.6, KDE 2.1

".mbar.obj.menu invoke 1" functions to select "Ovals" and
.mbar.obj.menu invoke 2" functions to select "Rectangles".
