Unless my time sense is very poor, the Salkind version of "The Four Musketeers" was re-novelized (if there is such a word) by George MacDonald Fraser, several years earlier. (And well worth it: Fraser is one of today's great comic writers; although Dumas' "The 3 Musketeers" is a classic, the Fraser version of the story is a lot of fun also.) Has anyone ever seen a novelization of the script for the Salkind "3 Musketeers"? -- "When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less" -- Humpty Dumpty, the noted linguist Rick Keir -- MicroComputer Information Center, MACC 1210 West Dayton St/U Wisconsin Madison/Mad WI 53706 {allegra, ihnp4, seismo}!uwvax!uwmacc!rick
