What? *No* information on the use of Unix with the Pilot?
Not even as a client system, let alone development? Argh!
I've been using the pilot-link suite of tools for a while
now (they're on ftp://ryeham.ee.ryerson.ca/pub/PalmOS/ by the way)
and have just installed the gcc cross-compiler on a Linux
system. I've got a basic `hello world' style app running, and I was
going to buy this book to learn more.

I guess O'Reilly won't be getting my money if they can't even find
445k on their CD-ROM for pilot-link. A shame, particularly
when I read this on their web site:

Tim O'Reilly, president of O'Reilly and
Associates, reported today sales of its UNIX technical books
have surged. Sales of Unix In A Nutshell, the best-selling
UNIX book in publishing history, have tripled in the past
month, as have those of many of the company's other UNIX
titles. "We believe UNIX is finding a whole new audience,"
said O'Reilly. "It's hard to ignore an operating system that is
capable of supporting the enterprise and has been pounded
on by the world's largest companies and institutions for over
25 years. We're bullish on UNIX."

A shame that that `bullishness' doesn't extend to people
using Unix with the Palm Pilot. To say I'm disappointed would
be an enormous understatement. I'd been looking forward to this
book.
