But they also mention an upcoming book called "Authorized Guide to Version 3 of the Single Unix Specification", which they say should be out in late February -- and which includes a CD with the full-set of documentation. This second one sounds a lot like a new version of what I have as "Go Solo 2", and I'm pretty sure I paid a lot less than $243 for that book+cd. Do you know if there something in the CD-Set which isn't in the upcoming Authorized-Guide book+cd? In my case, I like copying the html to my local hard disk (under MacOS 10), and referencing it thru my web browser. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-standards" in the body of the message
