There are some URLs in parentheses such as

"(http://nwalsh.com/9781565925809/dsssl/)" where the final "/" cuts into the end ")"
and the second to last "/" touched the "k" in 9781565925809. This is even worse that
the decision made in "Practical Internet Groupware" to enclose URLs in mixed
parentheses, with the opening "(" in normal style and the closing ")"
italicized (see, "Practical Internet Groupware", p. 212, last paragraph, for
example).

setup of the CD

On a Macintosh system many applications cannot open any of the files on the
CD. Code Warrior, for example, cannot even SEE the CD in a "desktop"
SFGetFile view. Netscape cannot be used to view the HTML files either.

This is probably caused by the inclusion of a colon (:) in the CD name. On the
Macintosh a colon is used to separate the parts of a filename, just as slash
is used on Unix systems or backslash on Windows systems.

So the situation is much as it would be if one were trying to use a filename
"lost/found" on a Unix system.

I tried without success making an alias to the CD with a name not containing a
colon. The attempt to make the alias failed with an error code -35.

Individual files can be copied from the CD to the hard disk but this is
painful and it is not clear how to make the interfile references work short of
copying the entire CD onto the hard disk.

4th definition, document type declaration (DTD)

The term should be document type definition (DTD), not document type
declaration. (A document type declaration says what DTD a document uses.)
