UNCONFIRMED errors and comments from readers:


{11} In Figure 1-2, the second box from top should be labeled:

	"BClipboard"


{27-28}  The SimpleApp source code listing, 4 errors;

1) Line 1 now reads:
	
	#include <Window.h>

Should read:

	#include <interface/Window.h>

2) Line 2 now reads:

	#include <Application.h>

Should read:

	#include <app/Application.h>

3) Line 5 on page 28 now reads:

	main()

Should read:

	int main()
or
	int main(int argc, char **argv)


4)  There is no mention of having to include the x86/libbe.so 
object in order to compile the code.


{67} In the last paragraph,

	"AttachedToView"

Should read:
 
	"AttachedToWindow" 


(96) In the Alert program example, this piece of the program appears
to create an error. I downloaded the program examples this morning
and found that the Alert program gives me the same error that I got
last night (and it kept me up for a couple hours too :-p).  I have
not been able to figure out the correct code by looking at either
the "Be Developer's Guide" or "The Be Book", an HTML document that Be
distributes to help coders. Please help so I can get a full night's
sleep again.


{96} In the Note/Tip, the sixth line now reads:

	"HelloApplication"

Should read:

	"myHelloApplication"


{156} The fourth line in the second paragraph now reads:

	"...70 pixels to the left..."

Should read:

	"...70 pixels to the right..."


(191) In the first paragraph, lines 4-5 now read:

	"...needs to overridden."

Should read:

	"...needs to be overridden."


{203} In the code listing, the fifth line from the bottom now reads:

	"// checkbox break;"

"break" should be in next line. Should read:

	"//checkbox
	 break;


<316> Figure 8-16 is the wrong picture. I didn't find the picture with
the view hierarchy in the whole book.


{332} In Figure 9-2, the lower circle now reads:

	"BWindow object"

Should read:

	"BView object"


{367} In the code listing, the third line reads:

	"show()" 

This shouldn't appear here. Save panel should be shown when "save as"
is selected from menu.
