berny goodheart trif to talk me to co-authoring a plan 9
book in '94 or so ('course i'd ben blabbering away about
plan 9) but i declined 'cos i felt i didn't have sufficient
knowledge to do it and there were/are others in a much better
position than me to do it right.

there were also infrequent mentions of a labs-authored book on plan9.
i hope it happens some day. it would be a much welcomed antidote to the
nauseating crop of "OS design in a nutshell" and "linux kernel hacking
for complete idiots" type "technical" books.

Hi,

For those that thought the book sounded interesting and went looking
for it, it is called _How To Solve It: Modern Heuristics_;  note the
`e' in `Heuristics'.  ISBN 3-540-66061-5.

Brian Kernighan has a scanned copy of _An Effective Heuristic Algorithm
for the Travelling-Salesman Problem_ available at
http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/who/bwk/index.html.
