I think that _The_Unix_Programming_Environment_ by Kernighan (the K in awk) and Pike (another Unix guru/legend) is a great book for a programmer to get used the the Unix environment in general. (Prentice Hall, 1984) It doesn't spend a lot of time on any particular "official" programming language (although there are some C examples), but it does cover just about everything else someone programming in the Unix enviroment should know including shell programming. I also find it very readable (considering the topic.) Chapters include: UNIX for Beginners, the File System, Using the Shell, Filters (includes grep, sed, and awk), Shell Programming, Programming with Standard I/O, UNIX System Calls, Program Development, and Document Preparation (includes troff and man). *--------- * Bill Campbell email: campbb@d-e.pvt.k12.nj.us * Dwight-Englewood School phone: 201-569-9500 ext 3206 * 315 E.
