      <p>I wrote <i>Making TeX Work</i> in 1994. It has not been
      updated and is unquestionably out-of-date. In fact, the TeX
      sources are still in LaTeX 2.09.</p>

      <p>It is provided here for the benefit of those readers who
      would like to read it (it has been out of print for several
      years) or its TeX sources.</p>

      <p>I have no plans to update it.</p>

      <div class="important"
      style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
        <h3 class="title">Important</h3>

        <p>The conversion from TeX to XML <span
        class="emphasis"><em>is not</em></span> complete. There are
        lots of TeXisms left in the XML version. And tables that
        haven't been converted. And figures that haven't been
        converted. And probably lots of other stuff. I do plan,
        over time, to fix those errors so that the XML sources are
        a reasonable reflection of the published book.</p>
