A proposal for a photon beam at the Superconducting Super Collider makes Mikaelian's paper on photoproduction of charged vector bosons of current interest. We update that paper to include modern values of the parameters, modern distribution functions, and an electric quadrupole coupling in the three-gauge-boson vertex. The cross section remains large enough that a substantial number of W/sup +- / could be produced. The prospects for determining the three-gauge-boson coupling, however, are not good.
