	Unlike the old days (say, early '80s) there are lots of good texts
on UNIX topics today. I was rather underwhelmed by Sage's "Tricks". I've
come up with more useful ones myself.

	For the beginner, my favorite is still McGilton and Morgan's
_Introducing_the_UNIX_System_ for System V, with Kernigan and Pike's _UNIX
Programming_Environment_ a good intermediate level follow-on.
