1f8449af4e Revise prologue and frontmatter to use latex2e (not in 2.09 compatibility
mode) and take advantage of changes in myformat.sty.

dccc298e3d Took out some disclaiming text (even from the title!). Rewritten
abstract.  Alas, I didn't get to do anything else before the release
:-(

eee08cdd54 Make examples consistently use 4-space indentation.
Use \file{} for file names.

Prefer \code{blat} and \emph{blat} to {\tt blat} and {\em blat}; this matches
current style in the Library Reference a bit better.

Made the example startup banner current.  The version number should be
bumped before the next release.

9e63faaa66 Change Python-as-executable-script example to use "#! /usr/bin/env python"
since that's now the recommended way to do it.

In pickling discussion, change "code{pickle}" (not missing leading "\") to
"This" since the immediately preceeding sentence ended with the same text
(with the proper "\").  Fixes a formatting bug and an odd glitch in the
writing.

6dc2aae3cd (tut.tex): Normalized all uses of "UNIX" and "{\UNIX}" to use "\UNIX{}",
per usage needed for GNU info processing.  Based on comments from
	Tamito Kajiyama.

fd255e433f (tut.tex): Added matching \normalsize after \small font control command
(and the contents it was supposed to be affecting).  The latest
	LaTeX2HTML handles these, but didn't close it as expected.  This
	handles that problem and does not affect the PostScript output.

58124880cc A first stab at describing what's new in 1.4. Still many XXX'es left.
Also would like to add an "author's note" at the beginning, basically
pointing everyone to the books.
