There is no progress. The authors have moved on to some other projects.
They are getting older, and they are not planning on publishing further
volumes.
Wish I could be more encouraging. This info was from one of the authors
himself. Perhaps some other group of Conus lovers would like to take up
the task and finish the project.
Regards,
Charlie
