SEBASTOPOL, CA--Tim O'Reilly, president of O'Reilly & Associates,
reported today sales of its UNIX technical books have surged. Sales of
Unix In A Nutshell,
the best-selling UNIX book in publishing history,
have tripled in the past month, as have those of many of the company's
other UNIX titles. "We believe UNIX is finding a whole new audience,"
said O'Reilly. "It's hard to ignore an operating system that is capable
of supporting the enterprise and has been pounded on by the world's
largest companies and institutions for over 25 years. We're bullish
on UNIX."
O'Reilly & Associates continues to publish new books for UNIX.
This fall it will release

administration, user-level, C programming and utility books, as well as
