The "Unix programming environment" is a good book, but is probably a little dated these days. It's still worht reading for a grasp of why shell scripts, when you should stop using shell scripts and the intro to make/lex/yacc[1]. But on the whole, I don't think that it's as relevant as their other titles. -Dom [1] Including everybodys favourite, the DIY virtual machine! -- | Semantico: creators of major online resources | | URL: http://www.semantico.com/ | | Tel: +44 (1273) 722222 | | Address: 33 Bond St., Brighton, Sussex, BN1 1RD, UK. |
