I had the department secretary request a copy of the book for me back before Christmas. They said it would ship around 2 January. When it hadn't shown up by the middle of the month I asked her to check with our book rep again. This time they told her it was out of print and there was no idea when or even if it would be printed again. :-( On another note, as long as we're talking compilers and PDP's, one of profs here was cleaning his office and found documentation for WATBOL on the PDP-11. This reminded me that Waterloo had done a lot of things for older systems like the PDP. I wonder what the chances are someone there could be found who would be willing/able to release this older stuff under something like the BSD license so it could be used for other projects?? bill -- Bill Gunshannon | de-moc-ra-cy (di mok' ra see) n.
