Most of this information has been entered by Martin Leslie. It should be noted that other people are coming forward to point out mistakes and are also making additions, thanks to you all.

All programs and examples have been tested on a PC running Linux and compiled using gcc. If you wish, you can use the Mosaic 'save' option to O/P the programs and compile them yourself.

Special thanks should go to:

• My tutor, Lionel Keet, who spent the whole of '94 teaching me and my fellow students the joy of C.
• Linus Torvalds for producing the Linux kernal. If Linux was not around I dont think I would have bought a PC.
• Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie for creating a programming language that has kept me amused for endless hours.
• Who ever came up with HTML. Without it, this would be one HUGE flat file.
