I tried a few months ago and it is no longer available from them. They suggested I try used book web pages. There is a copy available on half.com as of this writing for around $100. Eric Wayte Sr. DBA Univ. of Central Florida ewayte(a)pegasus.cc.ucf.edu On Wed, 7 Apr 2004, Andru Luvisi wrote:

[Lions book] Latex source to the book was posted to alt.folklore.computers circa 1994. I'm guessing that the poster (a "Leo") typed it in by hand given the comments that came with the readme. Tim.

You can download PostScript and PDF versions of the Lions book here: http://morris.xsdeny.net/data/docs/unix/lionc.ps http://morris.xsdeny.net/data/docs/unix/lionc.pdf You can also view Google's rendition here: http://216.239.51.104/search?q=cache:www.upl.cs.wisc.edu/~epaulson/lionc .ps In my opinion, the LaTeX version would still be interesting. The previously mentioned files themselves were probably produced from that source.

----- Original Message ----- From: "Mirian Crzig Lennox" <list-tuhs(a)cosmic.com> When you describe the notes as having been "roughly-typewritten" I think that you may have been misled by the quality of the printer that was used. According to the 'Acknowledgements' in Lions: 'The co-operation of the "nroff" program must also be mentioned. Without it, these notes could never have been produced in this form. However it has yielded some of its more enigmatic secrets so reluctantly, that the author's gratitude is indeed mixed. Certainly "nroff" itself must provide a fertile field for future practitioners of the program ducumenter's art.'

Hello from Gregg C Levine Actually, no your not. I do. Even though my contacts with computer technology was rather limited, until about thirty odd years ago, and on and off, during the eighties. For example, a shop that my father ran, which did typesetting, used a pair of teletypes to communicate with the host. (Host wasn't a DEC system, he was a related unit.) And surprisingly enough, one of their customers was AT&T, they sent over a manuscript they were having problems setting using the exact same methods being discussed here. My copy of the C manual, that all of us know who wrote, says it was done that way as well. ------------------- Gregg C Levine hansolofalcon(a)worldnet.att.net ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
