Rating: What confuses me is that the downloadable examples compile fine, but assiduous following of the text sometimes doesn't give the same result: see, for example, the subclass-custom class exercise in Chapter 11 (pg. 330), which generates a "Not Applicable" message instead of the expected behavior. What did the authors do different in creating their files? I am still looking for a manual that has items like "do this to open and access the contents of a file". We need a happy medium between arcane U**X man pages and slick cookbooks that leave the reader wondering how to do anything that differs from the examples!
