Hannel Jamie Milazzo Brian-Kent Proffitt SA Springer Robert Wolf Indexers Jeanne Clark Bront Davis Greg Eldred Johnna VanHoose About the Authors Susan Peppard was born many years ago in New York City. She attended New York University where she studied French literature and picked up a couple of degrees. When this failed to produce splendid job offers, she turned to computers (big, blue, room-sized machines, sporting 30 KB of memory). Today, 30 years later, she confines her computer-related activities to writing on and about them and playing games. She is a documentation consultant (technical writer) and lives in New Jersey with a horrible black dog, an innocuous grey cat, and—between semesters—varying configurations of her children. She and UNIX met in 1985 and have been living together happily ever since. Pete Holsberg saw his first computer in 1960, as a graduate student at Rutgers, and they have plagued him ever since. While at Rutgers, he was exposed to both analog and digital computers. He went to work for Electronic Associates, Inc., Princeton, New Jersey on leaving Rutgers. EAI was the world's largest manufacturer of analog and hybrid computers. He later joined Mercer College, Trenton, New Jersey in 1970 as associate professor of electrical engineering and was given responsibility for the PDP-8/I lab. He was instrumental in bringing microcomputers to the campus in 1981; these were used in electronics engineering technology education. Currently, he is systems administrator for the college's UNIX lab, consultant to the college's Academic Computing Committee, secretary of the college's LAN Computing Committee, advisor to the Educational Technology Users Group for faculty and staff, and coordinator for electronics curricula. Pete has authored a textbook on C for electronics engineering technology for Macmillan and a book on UNIX tools for Macmillan Computer Publishing. He has written invited chapters in a number of MCP books, and has been the technical editor or technical reviewer for many of MCP's UNIX book offerings. Pete lives in Ewing, New Jersey with his wife, Cathy Ann Vandegrift and their four computers. They sail and enjoy the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra. Pete has a private pilot's license and is an avid autocross racer and tennis hacker. Cathy is a Realtor. James C. Armstrong, Jr., is a software engineer with ten years of industry experience with UNIX and C. He is currently working as a technical editor at Advanced Systems, and also works free-lance for several other companies in the San Francisco Bay area. He can be reached at [email protected]. Salim M. Douba is a network consultant with Proterm Data Systems Ltd./USConnect, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. He is also an independent certified NetWare Instructor (CNI) teaching NetWare operating systems and advanced courses. He holds a master's degree in electrical engineering from the American University of Beirut. His experience and main career interests have primarily been in Internetworking and multiplatform integration. He is reachable on CompuServe on 70573,2351. S. Lee Henry writes a systems administration column for SunExpert Magazine, and manages systems and networking for the physics and astronomy department at Johns Hopkins University. She is on the board of directors of the Sun User Group and has been a UNIX programmer and administrator for over twelve years. Ron Rose is an international management consultant with 20 years of data processing management experience. He has led large-scale data processing installations in Asia, Europe, and the United States, and he has managed several software product http://docs.rinet.ru/UNIXy/unxfmau.htm (4 of 10) [4/27/1999 10:45:29 AM] UNIX Unleashed unxfmau.htm start-up efforts. He completed a master's in information systems from Georgia Institute of Technology, after completing undergraduate work at Tulane University and the University of Aberdeen, Scotland. His current position is as a director for Bedford Associates, Inc., in Norwalk, Connecticut, where he leads groups that provide Open Systems and Lotus Notes products, along with related high-performance UNIX systems-integration work. He also has appeared on national television (CNBC) as a management consultant on technology issues. Richard E. Rummel, CDP, is the president of ASM Computing, Jacksonville, Florida, which specializes in UNIX software development and end user training. He has been actively employed in the computer industry for 20 years. Married for 21 years, he is the father of two children, a dog, and a cat.
