(It says it's the "3rd Printing" in the inside front page). Dont find the typesetting wierd, however (although I've never been a fan of either Times or Courier typefaces, which is what's used in the book). jb4 "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

Post #86,506 by jb4 3/7/03 1:40:54 PM Reply	Ooooh..that IS bad! In the SE, it claims that "This book was typeset in Times and Courier by the author". If I had to guess, he probably used LaTeX. Of course, the B3 book publisher probably wanted it in TuWord format, and, not knowing their ass from a hole-in-the-ground regarding technical content, decided to use the oh-so-k3wel Palatino font for the "examples". (But I bet it's got a lot of "sizzle"...) jb4 "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
