Updated Apprentice site tarball (version 0.16) - 01/21/2003

Free online version is available - 01/08/2003

The free (as in beer) online version of the book is now available. This version does not yet include the index, and it may still be a bit rough around the edges. It does include corrections for all the errata items reported so far.

Once I'm confident that there are no major errors yet to be fixed, the book source (in POD-alike language ORA invented) and the tool used to convert it to HTML will be made available.
