However, "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment" is definitely still relevant. I have the older single-volume of "UNIX Network Programming" but Stevens released an update, which is a multi-volume set, just before he passed away. His passing was a great loss for the world but we will remember him, because of his excellent contributions to the world -- namely his books. > > Bruce W.
