[comp.unix.questions] Book for Bourne/Korn Shell Programming

zz1he@sdcc19.ucsd.EDU (Heather Ebey) (11/24/87)

I would like recommendations on Bourne shell programming books.
I actually have Korn shell on my AT compatible, but Bourne
shell is close enough.

David Korn would be appalled at that last statement!!  ;-)

Mr. Korn sent me a review copy of his and a colleague's forthcoming
book on ksh -- it is *very* extensive and *very* good, despite my
guilt at having my work life go to pieces the moment I got it and therefore
my inability to review it in time -- sorry, David, if you're reading!

I don't know exactly when the book is coming out, but it should be soon
because he wanted review comments by early September at the latest.
