This document contains several chapters of a book being made available electronically on the Internet. It has been prepared in $\hbox{\TeX }$, $\hbox{\LaTeX }$ and $\hbox{\LaTeX 2\texttt{HTML}}$ by Ross Moore, Sam Williams and Ross Talent (now deceased).

The diagrams have been typeset using the macro package $\hbox{\XY-pic}$ for graphics and technical diagrams, written by Kristoffer Rose and Ross Moore¹. All of the effects used here can be specified in a reasonably simple, intuitive manner using $\hbox{\Xy -pic}$, currently available as version 3.2. Other effects are continually being developed, to become available as extra modules for use with $\hbox{\Xy -pic}$.

Individual chapters of this book, in PostScript format, can be obtained electronically. Consult one of the $\hbox{\Xy -pic}$ home-page or ``down-under'', for complete information concerning $\hbox{\Xy -pic}$. At either site there is access to a detailed User Guide, prepared by Kristoffer Rose, using $\hbox{\LaTeX 2\texttt{HTML}}$.
