So how old do you have to be to buy it?

An excellent manual on the proper use of curses in programming. My one problem with this book is the availability to young children. Anyone could walk into a store and buy this.

Just like everyone else.

A good explanation of unix curses.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This book explained almost everything I needed to know. Myonly complaint is that it lacked any mention of xterm and how to usecurses in an xterm window.Otherwise I highly recommend it.
