use Mosaic to replace some of the traditional Internet functions like FTP,
Gopher, Archie, Veronica, and WAIS. For more advanced users, the books

many additional file types) and how to customize the Mosaic interface,
such as screen elements, colors, and fonts. The Microsoft and Macintosh
versions come with a copy of Mosaic on a floppy disk; the X Window version

  Linux Network Administrator's Guide
  By Olaf Kirch
  1st Edition December 1994 (est.)
  400 (est.), ISBN: 1-56592-087-2, $24.95 (est.)

A UNIX-compatible operating system that runs on personal computers, Linux
is a pinnacle within the free software movement. Networking is a
fundamental part of Linux. Whether you want a simple UUCP connection or a
full LAN with NFS and NIS, you are going to have to build a network. Linux
Network Administration Guide by Olaf Kirch is one of the most successful
books to come from the Linux Documentation Project. It touches on all the
essential networking software included with Linux, plus some hardware
considerations. Topics include serial connections, UUCP, routing and DNS,
mail and News, SLIP and PPP, NFS, and NIS.

   Exploring Expect: A Tcl-based Toolkit for Automating
                     Interactive Programs
   by Don Libes
   1st Edition December 1994
   500 pages (est), ISBN: 1-56592-090-2, $29.95 (est)

Written by the developer of Expect, this is the first book to explain how
this new part of the UNIX toolbox can be used to automate telnet, ftp,
passwd, rlogin, and hundreds of other interactive applications. Based on
Tcl (Tool Control Language), Expect lets you automate interactive
applications that have previously been extremely difficult to handle with
any scripting language.

The book briefly describes Tcl and how Expect relates to it. It then
describes the Tcl language, using a combination of reference material and
specific, useful examples of its features. It shows how to use Expect in
background, in multiple processes, and with standard languages and tools
like C, C++, and Tk, the X-based extension to Tcl. The strength in the
book is in its scripts, conveniently listed in a separate index.

   by Simson Garfinkel
   1st Edition November 1994 (est.)
   250 pages (est),ISBN: 1-56592-098-8, $17.95 (est)

PGP is a freely available encryption program that protects the privacy of
files and electronic mail. It uses powerful public key cryptography and
works on virtually every platform. PGP: Pretty Good Privacy by Simson
Garfinkel is both a readable technical users guide and a fascinating
behind-the-scenes look at cryptography and privacy. Part I of the book
describes how to use PGP: protecting files and email, creating and using
keys, signing messages, certifying and distributing keys, and using key
servers. Part II provides background on cryptography, battles against
public key patents and U.S. government export restrictions, and other
aspects of the ongoing public debates about privacy and free speech.

expressing the views of the thousands of participants at these sites.

tin and Trumpet for Windows and nn, emacs and gnus for UNIX. It also
explains how to post articles to the Net. The book discusses things you
can do to increase your productivity by using the resources mentioned on
USENET, such as anonymous FTP (file transfer protocol), mail servers,

               PROGRAMMING AND PROGRAMMING TOOLS
                  C Programming Libraries

   POSIX.4: Programming for the Real World
   By Bill Gallmeister
   1st Edition November 1994 (est.)
   400 pages (est.), ISBN: 1-56592-074-0, $29.95

Real-world programming (typically called real-time programming) is
programming that interacts in some way with the "real world" of daily
life. This book covers the POSIX.4 standard for portable real-time
programming. The POSIX.4 standard itself is a massive document that
defines system interfaces for asynchronous I/O, scheduling,
communications, and other facilities. However, this book does more than
explain the standard. It provides a general introduction to real-time
programming and real-time issues: the problems software faceswhen it needs
to interact with the real world and how to solve them. If you're at all
interested in real-time applications this book will be an essential
reference.

holistic philosophy of development of a complete application: from first
conception, through design and implementation, and on to the finishing
stylistic touches.

of the spectrum of experiences to be had or avoided in Thailand, Mexico,

some are writers, some are scientists, all are wanderers with a tale to
tell. Their stories will help you deepen and enrich your travel
