I am reviewing your book, and I am baffled by example 2-8 on page 44. I
have tried examples 2.7 and 2.8 on a Sun 4 and they behave identically.
The text surrounding the example does not seem to explain the problem, or
if it does I don't follow it. Is this caused by some obscure lex bug that
has since been fixed, or is there a misprint, or what?


I am supposed to submit my review by the end of the month. I am VERY
impressed, by the way. My only negative onservation so far is the wierd
tabbing (looks like a 6-space v. 8-space error).
