I have the official bug list for F, vD, F & H edition 2 with several hundred errors, but it clearly isn't complete. (a) Will updates automatically be sent to all of the people who downloaded the bug list from graphtext@cs.brown.edu? (b) Where do we report additional errors? (e.g. Exercise 5.3, which was also incorrect in edition 1; Equations 11.88 and 11.89, which get mixed up; Figure 12.1, whose RHS doesn't match the coordinates given.)

FYI, I'm currently handling the graphtext@cs.brown.edu account while the SRGP/SPHIGS author is out of the country on business. In Message-ID: <2748@dali>, icsds@ming.cs.montana.edu (Denbigh Starkey), says: [stuff] > (a) Will updates automatically be sent to all of the people who downloaded > the bug list from graphtext@cs.brown.edu? No. It has been updated once since I've started monitoring, by Feiner on October 16, 1990.. If your list of text bugs has a date earlier than that, you can get the very latest copy by mailing graphtext@cs.brown.edu with "get-text-bug-list" in the subject line. > (b) Where do we report additional errors? (e.g. Exercise 5.3, which was > also incorrect in edition 1; Equations 11.88 and 11.89, which get mixed > up; Figure 12.1, whose RHS doesn't match the coordinates given.) If you believe you have an as yet unreported bug in the text or the software, please get the current bug list first (either get-text-bug-list or get-software-bug-list), then mail graphtext@cs.brown.edu with either report-text-bug or report-software-bug in the Subject: line. > Denbigh S. > starkey@caesar.cs.montana.edu, starkey@mtsunix1.bitnet -- Brook Conner | Klacktoveedsedstene Brown Computer Graphics | Fortune sez: Brook's Law -- Adding manpower to a late dbc@cs.brown.edu | software project makes it later uunet!brunix!dbc dbc@browncs.bitnet Box 4013 Brown U Prov RI 02912

Is there a second printing of this book planned, with these errors corrected? Thanks. -pd

Many of the bugs on the bug list have been corrected in this printing. Of course, many of the bugs were discovered after the second printing went to press (alas). We regret this, but will update the list to indicate whether each bug appears in the first printing, the second, or both. -John Hughes (By the way, Feiner and I prefer that the book be given its full list of authors :-); neither of us is very good at being an "etc." )
