by Randal Schwartz and Tom Christiansen


Here are the changes from the 10/97 reprint:


(xvi): changed all the "ora.com"s to "oreilly.com"
(xvii): same change as above

(xviii): in the footnote, changed "environmental variable" to
"environment variable"

{xxiii}: in the list of IP addresses, changed the one for
ftp.cs.colorado.edu to 128.138.243.20

(xxix): changed all the "ora.com"s to "oreilly.com"
{10}: 2nd code example, line 1: removed "-w"

{16}: 3rd line from the bottom: changed "&good_word" to "the
subroutine good_word"

(17): this page starts in a different place due to the change to p. 16

(18): footnote: removed "again"

{21}: removed second sentence from 1st para. (which also removed the
footnote)

{22}: code line -4: changed "-M WORDLIST >= 7.0" to "-M WORDLIST < 7.0"
{23}: same change to last line of code on page
{24}: same change again to line 4 of third code block

{26}: that same change to line 4 on page.  Also split the last
sentence in the next-to-last para. into two ("...is formed.  So at
most," instead of "...is formed, so at most,")

{27}: 1st line of 2nd code example: added "-w" option
{28}: 2nd line in code: changed "&init_words()" to "init_words()"

{29}: in line 8 of the first code example and line 5 of the second,
changed "7" to "7.0"; also, in line -6 of the first example, changed
'open MAIL,"|mail' to 'open (MAIL, "|mail'

(30): para. 2: put "secret" from "something.secret" in constant width
font (not italic)

(36): next-to-last para.: changed "You don't merely have to" to "You
can't just"

{47}: added "times the radius" to the end of answer #1

than" to "that is, an index of greater than" and deleted the
para. beginning "Assignment to an array element..."

(55): line 2 of code 2: changed "happy day" to "happy days"
{72}: 3rd code block, line 1: changed "($line_" to "($line)"

This was a mistake on my part - $line_ should have been changed to
$line (i.e. I incorrectly added a close paren).

{73}: 1st line: changed 'STDIN>_)"' to '<STDIN>)) {"'
{83}: 1st line of code: lower-cased "Frederick"

{157}: 2nd para.: replaced "sort subroutine" with "comparison
routine"; and in the 3rd para. from the bottom, replaced "sort
routine" with "comparison routine" (2 occurrences)

"represented as $."

=> operator, 193-194

<273-274>: the colophon was omitted last time due to a printer error -
I sent them these pages for re-inclusion.
