Since there have been a number of requests about the new Xt book by Ralph Swick & me, many in mail, here's the info: X Window System Toolkit: The Complete Programmer's Guide and Specification Digital Press Paul J. Asente and Ralph R. Swick ISBN 1-55558-051-3 Digital part number EY-E757E-DP If you have trouble finding it, like if there aren't any good bookstores near you, you can order it through "DEC Direct" at 1-800-DIGITAL, but I have no idea how quick it would get to you that way. The Digital part number is key for ordering. Prentice-Hall is handling European distribution. The Prentice-Hall ISBN is 0-13-972191-6. The example programs are available for anonymous ftp in at least the following places: expo.lcs.mit.edu 180.30.0.212 contrib/ gatekeeper.dec.com 16.1.0.2 pub/X11/contrib/ The file name is asente-swick.examples.tar.Z; it is a comressed tar file (duh!) If you know of other sites that carry the file, please let me know through private email. The examples were also recently posted on comp.sources.x and are (or soon will be) available in the comp.sources.x archive under the names xt-examples/part0[1-5]. [And a collective thanks to everyone who has said kind things about the book so far.] -paul asente asente@adobe.com ...decwrl!adobe!asente

I've heard a number of people say they got DEC Direct copies of my book extremely quickly (within a couple days); I expect the same is true for Asente and Swick, and for the Rost book. It is, afterall, what DEC Direct is supposed to be good at; immediate shipment... As Paul said, their phone number is 1-800-DIGITAL. Scheifler and Gettys "X Window System": Order number EY-E755E-DP DP ISBN 1-55558-050-5 PH ISBN 0-13-972050-2 Rost "X and Motif Quick Reference Guide": Order number Ey-E758E-DP DP ISBN 1-55558-052-1 MH ISBN 0-13-972209-2 And of course, any of the books can be ordered through a Digital sales office anywhere in the world. - Jim
