Is there any information available on what is new about the second
editions of these books?  For example, Lippman is presently compatible
with AT&T 2.0.  Does the new edition go to 2.1?  Mostly bug fixes?
I'd like to know because I was within one day of purchasing Lippman's
first edition when this post came out.
