Chapter 1---not so much any more. This was a time
(94) when the ANSI-C
standard had only been out a few years so there was still quite a bit of K&R
C floating around. This was also a time when there were still plenty of
Unix versions floating around, instead of the what? Five we have left now?
(Linux, Open|Free|NetBSD, Solaris).
HP-UX and AIX are still alive and kicking, so commercial UNIX isn't
dead, it just smells funny.
