[from a copy I picked up a week or two ago...] I think the table of DOS commands and their unix equivalents makes a few far fetched comparisons. For example, append == ln. They are two very different commands. Assign is a little closer to ln in concept, but how does mount relate to assign? Ctty == getty? I think ctty == COMCONSOLE in the kernel config would be much more appropriate. Other than that, the book looks quite good. -john
