Syngress claims you get your name on the cover if you contribute 3 or more
chapters.  I contributed 3 chapters to their Hackproofing Solaris(still in
pre-press), so we'll see if they meant it.  Did they take a bio from you
Bill?  They asked me for one....course I couldn't rant about my cool
turtle. :(

I was thinking the same thing relative to my reimbursement, but I found
that if doing multiple chapters, the others, after the first, flowed
quickly.  So if you put more work into it, the ratio of work/returns may
swing into your favor.  It did for me, but I admit this was an entirely
different project, etc.

That would be slick, actually.  Like tfiles in the old WWIV and Renegade
days...heh....*sigh*
