I believe my problem was caused by the fact that I was not closing the file
properly.  I was simply closing the window (Win2K) with Crafty when it reported
that the book had been built successfully.  Now I created the book again and the
only difference is now I typed quit to exit Crafty. It worked.

I guess it is better not to be sloppy..

Thanks,
