You can't be serious?  There are so many typo's and misspellings in this
book.  I realize that time to market was important, but the number of 
typos in this book is staggering.  For starters how about the front cover.

> X Window Systems Programming and Applications with Xt.

First: 

It's The X Window System (not Systems).

Second:

This sentence does not make any sense.  Programming and Applications???


I just glanced through the book (I don't have much need for a tutorial on Xt :-)
and the layout seems very nice, but the number of typo's is about one per page
and seriously detracts from the book.

Just thought you might like to know...
