If you look in the book you will notice that the crystal icons are used.

And with the combunation of the copyrighted online gambas
documentation i would say that make's it really hard for people to
take any short cuts when developing for profit or for anything other
than personal use.

Boy if writeing a book is this hard on linux i could only imagen what
kinda hoops windows developers have to jump threw.

Basicly this poor guy has no other choice but to give a digital copy
of this book away for free.
