I've been talking with a publisher about writing a book on AUX. The intent of the book (currently estimated to be about 600 pages in length) would be to hit the highlights of what you have to know to get started with Apple's implementation of Unix. I'm tentatively planning to cover the most frequently used Unix commands (including telecommunications), shell programming, C programming, and the interface to the Mac Toolbox (though I don't intend to teach programming itself). Would such a book be of interest to anyone out there? Would you turn to such a book before talking the two shelves of documentation that come with AUX? What in particular would you find useful in a book designed to make AUX more accessible? Any comments would be gratefully accepted.
