Ravi and Doug!
Thanks for responding to my inquiry and for the info. ZMM is already
available, and Maggie spoke of "downloading" LILA from somewhere, but
after second thought I think we should have Pirsig's opinion and OK
on it, so I'll write him and ask. By the way, it's a shame that
author's rights are being bypassed (in the case of ZMM. LILA will not
be made public even if we use it internally for making an index) on
the Internet - I recently heard that music also is available, but
what can be done? I'll let you know if - or as soon as - I hear
from Robert Pirsig.
