The set is available in many bookstores, or from the 800 number below, for $60 plus shipping. Source code for examples is available by uucp or anonymous ftp from uunet. Another excellent book is Introduction to the X Window System, by Oliver Jones, which is published by Prentice Hall, and I believe retails for $32. Despite its title, Ollie's book is about Xlib programming. -- Tim O'Reilly (617) 527-4210 or (800) 338-NUTS O'Reilly & Associates, Inc., Publishers of Nutshell Handbooks 981 Chestnut Street, Newton, MA 02164 UUCP: uunet!ora!tim ARPA: tim@ora.uu.net
