This distribution contains the sample  programs   as   described
 in the Advanced UNIX programming with C++ book.

 Each  sub-directory  in  the   distribution   contains    sample
 programs  of  a  chapter, and the directory name indicates which
 chapter it corresponds to. For example,  the   directory   "ch1"
 contains  the sample programs for Chapter 1.

 In each sub-directory there is  a  README  file  which  gives  a
 cross- reference of the sample programs and the chapter sections
 which describe those programs. Furthermore, there is one or more
 makefiles  to  automate  the  compilation  of  the programs. The
 makefiles  were  tested  on  a   Sun   Microsystems's   SPARC-20
 workstation  (operating system: Solaris 2.4). The compilers used
 where the Sun's C++ (version 4.0) compiler, and GNU gcc and  g++
 compilers (version 2.6.3).

 Finally, note that there are no sample programs  for  chapter  5
 and 6 in the book.
