• Source code for all examples in the book (170K compressed tar file). This tar file was supplied by a reader who modified the library for RedHat Linux 5.0. The directory lib.rhlin contains this library--the remainder of the tar file should be identical to the standard tar file (previous bullet). This reader reports that he did not test all the programs under Linux, he just worked on the library that is required by all the programs.

  Here is an updated version of the Linux source code, supplied by a reader, that supposedly works under RedHat 5.0 and 5.1.

  Here is an another version of the Linux source code, supplied by a reader, that supposedly works under RedHat 6.0.
