I read of HAKMEM here, and am slowly trying to learn from it. (Interesting, but obtuse) (Or maybe I'm obtuse..., and HAKMEM is obscure) Someone also asked for the "/* NOTREACHED */ C programming style paper". That was also great. One of the the authors was very helpful when I reached him with email. My question is this, and I think many others will benefit also. What other papers, or sources of information might be found. I can't define exactly what I am looking for, but HAKMEM and /* NOTREACHED */ are excellent samples. So is the book The Unix Programming Environment, and Elements of Programming Style. I am a CS student, and my interests are very general. I have already started to read the Usenix publications, and I try to keep up with the monthly mags as well. Thanks a lot. If people email me directly with responses I will organize them and repost them to the net. Quentin Fennessy
