The software required `Windows 95 or better', so I installed Linux.

Favorite Korn Shell Books,

(I do not benefit in any way
whatever from the sale,
promotion, of advetising of any
of these books.)

The best book FOR YOU is one YOU can
read and understand. NO book is good
for you if you can't\don't understand
it - because of the way it's written. Read a
few passages to see if it "makes sense"
to you! Also, look for a good Index. If
you can't find what you want in a book
(even though it's there), because of a
poor Index, or poor chapter organization,
you can't benefit from the book.
