	translated the first version (0.1) of this document into
	DocBook/SGML. While not on the job at a small French company as a
	software developer, he enjoys working on GNU/Linux documentation
	and software, reading literature, playing music, and, for his
	peace of mind, making merry with friends. You may run across him
	somewhere in France or in the Basque Country, or you can email him
	at <A
