It was originally titled "Mac OS for Unix Developers" but Jarkko and I both gave it a scathing review since it was nothing more than a bunch of lists of commands and such for 95% of the book with a brief section on packaging which was decent. However, none of the content, at least in the first round of tech reviews, was worth the cover price vs. getting the free ADC documentation on-line from Apple. From your description, I doubt much has changed since they pushed back the production date, changed the title and didn't include us in the second round of tech reviews. It might be handy for someone who hasn't ever touched Unix before but you can get better docs on-line for free at http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/macosx.html e. _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
