Shlama to all--
Still not willing to give a date yet, but we have just reached the last major milestone: the layout problems have been solved. My publsiher estimates he is 100 hours away (in terms of his labor time, not 3-4 days) before Mari will be ready to be bound and has set aside 2 weeks to do it, so that means July, but I will let Baruch speak for himself:
Shlama Khati Shali and Akhi Andrew,
Ok I just got the green light to go with the formatting--it's as good as it gets.
Baruch HaShem YHWH!!!
I've been told that it will take me about 100 hours to complete the formatting, so you will know what I'll be up to over these next two weeks. It takes about an hour to format and typset eight pages of English and Aramaic, however the Appendixes will go much faster.
The templates took a lot longer to build than I expected, I essentially had to build them myself with coaching from some of the pros because the other option was to either send my computer to the designer because of the unique software requirements needed for Aramaic or send them my software for them to load on their computers.
Anyways, I'm really, really glad to see that we're good to go now, finally. Someday when we're sitting over a cool one I'll tell you the real story, and wow...it was a good one... <!-- s

Have a Great day!!!
