Hmmm...my last followup didn't arrive on the newsgroup, but we've had a
whole series of power outages due to thunderstorms...
Thanks for all your feedback and I'll forward your views to the book
publisher.
In answer to your some of your questions, yes, I have documented
/dev/dsp and /dev/mixer, many of the standard C library calls such as
file operations and process control, the installation and use of grasp,
Pentium optimizations under gcc and use of gprof, gnat's built-in
libraries like the hash table and bubble sort packages. If the
project gets the "go-ahead", I intend to cover the variious Ada bindings
in a reference style format. Plus there's an Ada tutorial
that covers basic language features. We need a book that puts all this
information all in one place--it's the only way people will understand
the versatility of Ada under Linux.
