To the person concerned about the WAP 1.1 Standard...

Please note, this book was intended and designed to be "version proof". As we stated on the back cover of the book, "As an added benefit, the CD-ROM provides access to a web site dedicated to providing ongoing updates to the WAP specification, in the same custom searchable, indexed infobase found on the CD-ROM." Just load your CD from the book and go to www.wiley.com/compbooks/WAP and you'll find the complete standard, WAP 1.1 waiting for you to download to the CD that comes with the book." So, don't worry, and pull down your updates from the web. Enjoy! the folks at John Wiley & Sons
