    Announcing the version 3.6 release of the "Advanced Bash Scripting Guide."
    This is a major bugfix update.

    This e-book tutorial and reference is the equivalent of a 668-page
    print book. With 316 illustrative examples (including such goodies as an
    anti-spammer script), the book covers virtually every aspect of scripting.

    This e-book contains printable reference cards, just like commercially
    available computer tutorials.

    The author invites comparisons with *any* commercially printed book on
    shell scripting. His aim was to write "best of category" documentation.

              "This tutorial assumes no previous knowledge of
               scripting or programming, but progresses rapidly toward an
               intermediate/advanced level of instruction . . . all the while
               sneaking in little snippets of UNIX wisdom and lore. It serves
               as a textbook, a manual for self-study, and a reference
               and source of knowledge on shell scripting techniques. The
               exercises and heavily-commented examples invite active reader
               participation, under the premise that the only way to really
               learn scripting is to write scripts."
                    -- from the Introduction

             This means the book is *free* and freely distributable.
