Thanks. I have serious doubts, though, concerning that "control" thing. 
A few years back, when I was translating M&D into Greek, I had sent him 
a letter with some questions on the text (together with a friend who was 
working on V at the time). I know he received it (there was a phonecall 
from his agent to my publisher) but he never bothered to answer. But 
then, maybe he is familiar with French and German. Does anyone know 
anything about other translations, in other languages?
