I did all the exercises. Granted, I'm probably not as excellent programmer as you. ;-) I think all books have bugs until they're proof read a million times. If this were a new language, we'd see a better chance of a second release. Since the book is apparently available for free download as PDF, probably should have it's own wiki page documenting corrections as well as containing wiki pages for other explanations. Everything is being wiki-fied these days. Can't wait for my old underwear to be wiki-fied! :-) -- Roger http://www.eskimo.com/~roger/index.html Key fingerprint = 8977 A252 2623 F567 70CD 1261 640F C963 1005 1D61 Wed Oct 3 11:37:04 PDT 2007 _______________________________________________ Pgubook-readers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pgubook-readers
