Here's a nice list of other lug's ;-) and an announcement about a book that we'll be getting soon. BTW, I still have the wireless networking for Win XP book: available to anyone who wants to review it (and who wants to get it from me: I'm in the city). When reviews happen, however obscurely we post them, I'll forward a link to Ms. Murray so she keeps sending us stuff. -Jeff ----- Forwarded message from "Murray, Joan" <Joan.Murray@awl.com> ----- Date: Wed, 09 Jul 2003 11:16:10 -0400 From: "Murray, Joan" <Joan.Murray@awl.com> Subject: New Book - Practical Programming in Tcl and Tk, 4/e To: "'brian@onsight.com'" <brian@onsight.com>, "'ehs@pobox.com'" <ehs@pobox.com>, "'unilist@unigroup.org'" <unilist@unigroup.org>, "'bieber@law.emory.edu'" <bieber@law.emory.edu>, "'bill@blug.org'" <bill@blug.org>, "'wsgrah@wm.edu'" <wsgrah@wm.edu>, "'wmmug@wm.edu'" <wmmug@wm.edu>, "'dustin@puryear-it.com'" <dustin@puryear-it.com>, "'phil@slug.org'" <phil@slug.org>, "'president@plugintolinux.org'" <president@plugintolinux.org>, "'przemek@tux.org'" <przemek@tux.org>, "'davep@kinaole.org'" <davep@kinaole.org>, "'pacneil@linuxgeek.net'" <pacneil@linuxgeek.net>, "'webmaster@lcic.org'" <webmaster@lcic.org>, "'gaede@fruug.org'" <gaede@fruug.org>, "'jgleason@nylug.org'" <jgleason@nylug.org>, "'smith@panix.com'" <smith@panix.com>, "'ecorrado@library.rider.edu'" <ecorrado@athena.rider.edu>, "'deanb@cuug.ab.ca'" <deanb@cuug.ab.ca>, "'jeff@purple.com'" <jeff@purple.com>, "'tony@awtrey.com'" <tony@awtrey.com>, "'nvettese@pdistributors.com'" <nvettese@pdistributors.com>, "'wrl@express.org'" <wrl@express.org>, "'gray@cns.uni.edu'" <gray@cns.uni.edu>, "'ken@cleveland.lug.net'" <ken@cleveland.lug.net>, "'dave@UUASC.org'" <dave@UUASC.org>, "'carle@sccoast.net'" <carle@sccoast.net>, "'tom@realtime1.com'" <tom@realtime1.com>, "'quozl@basichelp.com'" <quozl@basichelp.com>, "'pkelly@natant.com'" <pkelly@natant.com>, "'adam@metrolink.com'" <adam@metrolink.com>, "'beirwin@shaw.ca'" <beirwin@shaw.ca>, "'Ken.Weinert@ihs.com'" <Ken.Weinert@ihs.com>, "'Christopher.Riddoch@colorado.edu'" <Christopher.Riddoch@colorado.edu>, "'cjcox@acm.org'" <cjcox@acm.org>, "'sid.emory@scujug.org'" <sid.emory@scujug.org> X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2654.89) [71 lines, 433 words, 2888 characters] Top characters: eot*ainr Dear User Group- Very soon you will be receiving two user group review copies of Practical Programming in Tcl and Tk, 4/e by Brent B.
