| I found the flow of this chapter OK.
My nits, typos and other observations are below.
NOTE: These are my feelings etc. not of the UK as a whole.
I comment on typos etc on instructor pages as well as customer pages.
Instructors deserve to have unambiguous, correctly spelled and
technically accurate information too! :-)
Page Observation
---- -----------
1-4 Bullet 5: Typo: differnet -> different
1-5a Penultimate line: Typo: interative -> interactive
1-7 I encourage those writing command procedures to
place each qualifier on a separate line thus:
$ ACCOUNTING -
/FULL -
/TYPE=LOGFAIL-
/SINCE=YESTERDAY
$ DIRECTORY -
/MODIFIED -
/SINCE=YESTERDAY -
SYS$SYSROOT:[000000...]
$ !
It eases maintenance - unsure what it does for
performance :-)
1-17 No figure 1-1
1-27 Callouts 6 & 7: The space ahead of "Fred" in callout 6 is
not reproduced in callout 7 - there is no space at
the end of the prompt either.
1-33a Line 2: in the command -> in command
1-34 No Figure 1-2
Example: Just a nit but good programming practice
suggests we shouldn't hard code constants like 0 but
use symbolic constants instead
e.g.: $ Warning = 0
. . .
. . .
$ IF $SEVERITY .EQ. Warning THEN GOSUB WARNMSG
Improves readability at the expense of another symbol...
