Hi Pete,

Thanks for this -- no need to worry however!! I was notified by Evgeny
and Cesar that Argeniss had sold their 0day pack to GLEG after I had
written most of the book. However, the two packs are still separate
products and haven't yet been merged, so I deal with them as separate
packs, with a note that GLEG should be contacted to purchase both of the
packs
