UNCONFIRMED errors and comments from readers:


[xii]  Top of page;
The VBScript function UBound is not listed in table of contents. It is not 
listed anywhere between pages 13-18.


{10}  WSF typelib reference tag, (2nd example);
(Omission)
The progid form of the reference tag is much easier to use:

<reference object="ADODB.Connection" />
<reference object="CDONTS.NewMail" />
<reference object="MSWC.IISLog" />
<reference object="Scripting.FileSystemObject" />


{18}  Anywhere;
Omitted function UBound() from the list off Array handling functions.



[52] 3rd paragraph:
The values of IOMode listed in the OpenTextFile method of the FileSystemObject
appear to be incorrect. 

This book states:

	ForAppending = 0
	ForReading   = 1
	ForWriting   = 2

I could not make the file read work as expected with these values.  Upon 
checking "Microsoft Windows Script Host 2.0 Developer's Guide" by Gunter Born 
(Microsoft Press), page 366, I found that the actual values are:

	ForAppending = 8
	ForReading   = 1
	ForWriting   = 2

Mr. Born's description appears to be more accurate, as file manipulation works
as expected.



[91]  FormatPercent Description (2nd paragraph);
  "FormatPercent returns the formatted number followed by a percentage sign (%)."

should read:

  "FormatPercent returns the formatted number (multiplied by 100) followed by a percentage sign (%)."

(The FormatPercent function is used to represent a fractional value in percent.)
