You're right - I never got around to writing a review of the second edition. I have no proprietary interest in the bibliography; I've been writing capsule reviews as I have time, mostly because nobody else has done it. AdaIC has a big bibliography, but thery are a government contractor and don't get much into expressing opinions. :-) I'd be delighted to have Team_Ada-ers or anyone else in the community add or update reviews in the booklist. Did I hear you volunteer to do the Booch one? (Note: I'm crediting other contributors at the top of the list, and by initials with their review.) >I don't have the ISBN, but Burns and Davies has a 1993 version out >now called "Concurrent PRogramming".

I'm waiting too. :-) I would be quite happy to see this booklist become a community project, perhaps with a Team_Ada header. I'm still signing it myself at this point, mostly because I wrote all but 4 of the reviews. Cheers - Mike Feldman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michael B.
