The correct address is 981 Chestnut Street, Newton, MA 02164 We also now have an 800 number for ordering--1-800-338-NUTS). In addition, the book was recently revised and expanded, and the price is now $15. Another book that might be of interest is UNIX Text Processing, by Dale Dougherty and Tim O'Reilly (that's me). It covers vi, ex, sed, awk, the roffs and preprocessors, etc. We didn't publish it ourselves--it's published by Howard Sams and _is_ available in most bookstores. However, people can also get it from us by mail order at the above address and phone. -- Tim O'Reilly (617) 527-4210 O'Reilly & Associates, Inc., Publishers of Nutshell Handbooks 981 Chestnut Street, Newton, MA 02164 UUCP: uunet!ora!tim ARPA: tim@ora.uu.net
