Adam and anyone else interested in intranets,

I'm just finishing off a Web site continuation of my book "Lingo Sorcery -
the magic of lists, objects and intelligent agents"

The stuff going onto this Web site explains the object oriented concept of
Intranets and the extension of Intranets outside of internal corporate use.

The Web site also explains the basis for building an intelligent brain into
an active agent. Although written for users of Macromedia's DIRECTOR it
should be understandable by anyone with a knowledge of programming.

The site will be up in a week or two but if anyone would like to see a
review copy I'll post it to them as an email attachment (250k self
extracting Stuffit file - for Mac or PC if you have the latest Mac and PC
Stuffit expanders).

regards
