All, I've been working with Peter Salus (author of A Quarter Century of Unix)
to get the book published as an e-book. However, the current publishers have
been very incommunicative.

Given that the potential readership may be small, Peter has suggested this:

However, as with all the Unix stuff, I'm still concerned about copyright
issues. So this is what I'm going to do. You will find a collection of
bits at this URL: http://minnie.tuhs.org/Z3/QCU/qcu.epub

In 24 hours I'll remove the link. After that, you can "do a Lions" on
the bits. I did the scanning, OCR'ing and proofing, so if you spot any
mistakes, let me know.

I'm not really interested in any payment for either the book or TUHS
itself. However, if you do feel generous, my e-mail address is also
my PayPal account.

Cheers, Warren

Thanks, Warren, for the (brief) posting of the ePub file for Peter
Salus' fine book, A Quarter Century of Unix.

I have a printed copy of that book on my shelf, and here is a list of
the errata that I found in it when I read it in 2004 that might also
be present in the ePub version:

p. 23, line 7:
	deveoloped -> developed

p. 111, line 5:
	Dave Nowitz we'd do -> Dave Nowitz said we'd do

p. 142, line 7:
	collaboaration -> collaboration

p. 144, line -4 (i.e., 4 from bottom):
	reimplemeted -> reimplemented

p. 160, line 10:
	the the only -> the only

p. 196, line 17:
	develope JUNET -> develop JUNET

p. 221, running header:
	Berkley -> Berkeley

p. 222, line 11:
	Mellon Institue -> Mellon Institute
