At the risk of being flippant, how can you then be qulified to write
about these subjects? It sure makes me question the credibility of
the finished work.
I think I'd be much happier if, say, Doug Gwyn, John Quarterman, or
Henry Spencer wrote such a comparison, instead of someone who can't read
the code.
Is the the same "UNIX papers" by the same publisher who someone else
accused of ridicuously low author royalty rates? Might this be
adversely affecting the quality of submissions?
