Who could be surprised, I suppose. Company A sells the code to company B who publishes it, having not a clue appparently as to how error-ridden the book is. Then when it does come to any light at all, get rid of all references to it, because hey it's not "our" code, right? Of course Company A did know what a P.O.S. it was that they sold to Company B, so of course they warrant no support for it either.

Hey, what's money between customer and seller, though right? Sure.

I'll never buy another Wrox publication again. Period.
