Marissa,
Sorry for jumping the gun on that one. I wasn't sure what that notice
signified.

Hey Andrew,
No problem. I can kick it back to the download cue right now.
Just for future reference for everyone, the submitter on the books from the
University of Montana is jim Marks and some may contain that e-text notice.
Best,
Marissa

Marissa,
Yikes. Sorry, i did reject the book. If it is found to be up for use, I
would love to clean it. I love java :-) (and yes, i mean java programming).
The title was java solutions.
