Hello Arnold,
Thank you, sir. I have "Software Tools In Pascal" and am hopeful that I will
soon get asked if I have anything I want for my upcoming birthday. "Software
Tools" will be my answer. Your commment about the age of these books is
something I concur with. I find them easier to read and understand than many
modern publications. The one modern publication that I have found to be both
fun and easy to read is Michael W. Lucas's "Ed Mastery" which has been
written
with a sense of humor not present in many software books.
Best regards,
Cameron

IMHO, the best tutorials on ed are the chapters in "Software Tools"
and "Software Tools in Pascal" where Kernighan and Plauger write
a basic version of it. I recommend both books highly, despite
their age.
"Software Tools" literally changed my life. :-)
