(I saw an ad in UNIX Review that looked like Prentice-Hall is distributing this, too.) X Window Applications Programming, Eric Johnson (that's me), Kevin Reichard, MIS: Press, 1989, ISBN 1-55828-016-2 (you can call 1-800-MANUALS in the USA). The X Window System: Programming and Applications with Xt, Doug Young, Prentice-Hall, 1989, ISBN 013-972167-3 (I haven't touched this yet, I've just seen the ad in UNIX Review). Introduction to the X Window System, Ollie Jones, Prentice-Hall, 1989, ISBN 013-499997-5. (Excellent introduction.) Xlib Programming Manual (Vol. 1), Adrian Nye, O'Reilly & Associates, 1988. (This one is at home, so I don't havce the ISBN number. It usually comes in a boxed set with vol. 2, below.) Xlib Reference Manual (Vol. 2), Adrian Nye, ed., O'Reilly & Associates, 1988, ISBN 0-937175-27-7. X Window System User's Guide (Vol. 3), O'Reilly, Quercia, Lamb, O'Reilly & Associates, ISBN 0-937175-29-3. (Not really a programming book). I any information is incorrect, please contact me. Please also send me any additions to the list. Thanks. I hope this helps, -Eric -- Eric F. Johnson, Prime Automation, Inc. 415 W. Travelers Trail, Burnsville, MN 55337 USA.
