Correction list for PECG  6/6/86
David F. Rogers

There have been 3 printings of this book to date.
The 3rd printing occurred in approximately March 85.

To see if you have the 3rd printing look on page 386,
3rd line down and see if the word magenta is spelled
correctly.  If it is, you have the 3rd printing. If not, then
you have the 2nd or 1st printing.

To see if you have the 2nd printing look on page 90.  If
the 15th printed line in the algorithm is

  while Pixel(x,y) <> Boundary value

you have the 2nd printing.  If not you have the 1st printing.

If you have the 1st or 2nd printing, write asking for the errata
sheets for those printings.

Please send any additional corrections to me at
