	Yeah, you'd think....

	I've always liked and recommended The UNIX Programming
Environment, by Kernighan & Pike.  Borders, B&N and Amazon usually have
it in stock.

	I just checked it, but it has no reference to the trap
exit/looping problem.  I found it through the school of Hard Knocks, and
lots of reading source.  It still has lots of still-useful programs, and
it teaches UNIX programming quite well, IMO.  I learned yacc with this
book....

	(in a cracking voice) Sonny, I've been using the Internet back
when all we had wuz 1200 baud modems and USENET!.  Why, all we had back
then was wood burning computers! ;-)
