Greetings, Many books have the source code available for download somewhere, or even a sample chapter? Are the examples in the book complete programs, or are they snippets illustrating a concept? If the programs are complete, what type of programs are they (business, science, other)? Does the source code work with GNU/Linux, or is it for MS-Windows only? -- b h a a l u u at g m a i l dot c o m http://www.geocities.com/ek.bhaaluu/index.html
