TRUE NAMES was written by Vernor Vinge, who is the author of
the currently running serial in Analog this (and next) month.
I also really enjoy his writing, but he doesn't write all that 
much.  According to this month's Analog Biolog, he is a mathamatics
prof at San Diego, and interested in FORTH among other computer
languages.  They also say that the movie rights have been picked
up on True Names!

I would very much like to find out about any other works by Vinge
(Vernor, not his ex-wife Joan).  He has three books published called
"Grimm's World", "The Witling", and "True Names".  He also published
several shorts in Analog and Galaxy, including "The Infinity Sense" (An),
the frontliner (?) series (Galaxy), and "The Peace War" (the current
Analog).  Does anyone know of any others??  Also, what issues of Galaxy
did the frontliner series appear in, and how many stories?
