For grins, here's the source for that bit:
.heading "Colophon"
.LP
This book continues the time-honoured tradition
of writing
.IW real
UNIX books using
.Cp vi
and
.Cp troff .
I produced camera-ready PostScript
using James Clark's excellent
.Cp groff
package on a Sun Ultra 60 running build 60
of Solaris 10.
I typed in all 417,259 words using the
.Cp vi
editor,
created the 84 illustrations using the
.Cp gpic
program,
produced the 91 tables using the
.Cp gtbl
program,
performed all the indexing
(using a set of
.Cp awk
scripts written by Jon Bentley
and Brian Kernighan),
and did the final page layout.
My own script,
.Cp c2ms ,
the
.Cp expand
program,
the
.Cp nl
utility,
and one of my
.Cp sed
scripts were used to include the
12,619 lines (in 281 programs)
of C source code in the book.
