SCO UNIX in a Nutshell Review, August 24 1999
Submitted by Roger D. Parks, Sc. D. [Respond | View]

Greetings....

Being as it is late August of 1999, and there is
still no update to this volume, has anyone suggestions
as toward a -different- reference volume than
this one?

It is fairly patent that this book is dead, so
far as the publisher is concerned, and I still
have clients to support. Therefore, I'm looking
for alternatives.

Cheers,

Roger

SCO UNIX in a Nutshell Review, December 22 1998

It's generally a good reference: well-written, organized, and designed, as is usual with O'Reilly books. I've found it to be quite useful.

There is one shortcoming, though. It's somewhat dated. It hasn't been updated in some time, and it does not cover SCO OpenServer.

Is a new edition planned? SCO has just released UnixWare 7, so I could see waiting to cover that.
