[PD-ot] Packt Publishing royalties

[Ed Kelly]

Hmm. I couldn't get the post Antonio was referring to in his email. This could be a very sophisticated form of phishing I suppose. Apologies for my naivety!

I have the book "Multimedia Programming in Pure Data" in front of me, published by Packt, by Brian WC Chung. No mention of Antonio Roberts!

I'll just take a look at the header for the email and get back to you. Let's not take too much time in dealing with this.
