I have a preliminary J Reference Card. I consider it a failure, because I ran out of room before I got in all the stuff I need to put in; but it may be of interest nonetheless.
To download it, get it from http://202.67.223.49/jwiki/HenryRich?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=Jrefcard2up_2006_04_0 3.doc or go to my home page on the JWiki at http://202.67.223.49/jwiki/HenryRich and download the file. It is a Microsoft Word document. I created it with Word 2003. I am told that it doesn't display right on Word 2000, but that it's OK with Word Viewer 2003 (available free from Microsoft) or Open Office 2003. When I make it better I will put it into pdf format. To add more stuff I will have to go to 4 pages rather than 2. Things I know I want to include are: A few simple verbs ($ # I. i:) Locales Control Structures arguments to cd command-line switches Configuration information (profile etc) System library scripts (names & summary of functions) Addins Suggestions for other stuff to include are solicited. If anyone will contribute a summary of how to interface to Excel or SQL I'd be obliged. Concerning the current document, I would like comments on readability, including the clarity of the wording, the aptness of the examples, and the physical layout; and on missing content. I do not intend to delete anything that's there now, as I deem it all important.
