Thanks, but it seems as if that web = page is for the 2nd edition. I have two copies of this, one of which is muc= h thicker than the other, despite having the same number of pages, but that= =E2=80=99s a different wildly off-topic topic. I used to have a copy of the= 1st edition, and I=E2=80=99m sure that the background colour was white. Di= d there ever exist a version with a blue cover?

Also, I think that =E2=80=9CIt=E2=80=99s a fair cop, but gcc is to blame=E2= =80=9D should be an adequate defence in any court of law.
