Aren't there three versions already? The original had the later "Advanced programming" volume as a mere chapter. In the second they are splitted, and the third is fairly recent, and by another author (R. W Stevens unfortunately passed away a few years back. A big loss for the programming books world) Both Michael and I (the two of this did most of the dabbling in the Linux/Unix RTLs) have "Advanced..." and it is hightly recommended. I also have the sockets book (splitted rev, the 2nd is about IPC) and the first volume of TCP/IP illustrated (which is also a good read) Some of it is slightly outdated though, from before the newer threadmodels and KSE/EPoll of FreeBSD/Linux. I'm not sure how much this changed in more recent editions. I picked up some of these fairly cheaply (they are normally Eur 40-50 ish, but e.g. I got the TCP/IP illustrated and the first socket book for 5 each) when the new editions emerged. It can be worthwhile to keep an eye out for these in yard sales etc. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
