Reader Reviews
I don't like reading negative reviews. However this one is necessary as a warning. I was not being facetious, when I asked where is the shell? Anybody that would give this more than one star has only read the cover. And does not know that csh and c are two different things. For that matter the author does not know the CSH and c are two different things. Lowell Jay Arthur and Ted Barnes probably could not afford a computer between the two of them. There are absolutely no examples of this csh, or the tcsh shell, or the posix shell, or any industry used shells. In deviating from shells, they talk about CGI as if it was a language instead of a protocol. They have examples of Netscape the way it looked when there was Windows 3.1. I stand corrected; they are gracious to say that the "C-Shell "provides an excellent pseudocode for C the in Chapter 13. Perhaps they must have read that somewhere. I am sending this book back.
