I have a number of unix related books I would be happy to part with. These include (I am going from memory here , can't quote the authors)
1) The magic garden explained - a very interesting indepth explanation of how SysVR4 works 2) Various books from the X11 series including (from memory) xlib and xt programming manuals and reference manuals. 3) The O'Reilly motif programming / reference manual (can't recall which one) If anyone is interested I will fetch them out let them know exactly which volumes I have. > -----Original Message----- > From: Guy Steven [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, 27 August 2002 8:51 a.m. > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 'CLUG' > Subject: RE: Good books (was: Re: Newbies problems) > > > My bible for a long time was O'Reilly's Unix in a Nutshell. > > Guy. > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Timothy Musson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Monday, 26 August 2002 8:48 p.m. > > To: CLUG > > Subject: Good books (was: Re: Newbies problems) > > > > > > On Mon, Aug 26, 2002 at 03:16:29PM +1200, Christopher Sawtell wrote: > > > Christopher Sawtell wrote: > > > > Although this book is about 10 years old it is the one from > > > > which I learnt my way around the unix beast. > > > The book is "Peter Norton's Unix".
