In responses to a question from James about the title of SATAN. I find it very sad that someone can get annoyed by a series of five letters, after all this is only the English word for the devil. Maybe in another language the word for the Devil is UNIX, or PERL or SED etc. There are far more offensive thing in everyday life to get offended about and I would certainly not want to let such a person near any computers that I had any control over. Lets hope that there isn't a new program called MECCA or you really will be in trouble.
P.S Your books are all superb and stand head and shoulders amongst the ever increasing number of computer publishers.
