Joy! Before I blew away my hard disk copy of the stuff (from ftp.cdrom.com), I thought, what the heck, let's just check this CD out first. Unfortunately, I discovered that the files listed below were different, and it looks like O'Reilly is on the incorrect side. All differences seem to be related to control characters getting munged somehow. Specifically, it looks like ^M characters were deleted and ^Z characters turned into spaces. (There might be other forms of munging--I didn't examine the results exhaustively.) I smell the stench of DOS here. Users of these files, beware! === 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/lisp/ada.elc 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/lisp/bibtex.elc 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/lisp/bytecomp.elc 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/lisp/compile.elc 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/lisp/dabbrev.elc 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/lisp/ehelp.elc 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/lisp/files.elc 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/lisp/float.elc 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/lisp/fortran.elc 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/lisp/info.elc 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/lisp/life.elc 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/lisp/lisp-mode.elc 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/lisp/mh-e.elc 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/lisp/mim-mode.elc 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/lisp/prolog.elc 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/lisp/rnews.elc 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/lisp/scheme.elc 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/lisp/scribe.elc 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/lisp/shell.elc 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/lisp/simula.elc 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/lisp/sort.elc 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/lisp/startup.elc 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/lisp/sup-mouse.elc 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/lisp/telnet.el 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/lisp/terminal.elc 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/lisp/tex-mode.elc 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/lisp/texinfmt.elc 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/lisp/vip.elc 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/lisp/x-mouse.elc 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/lisp/xscheme.elc 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/emacs-18.57/man/texinfo.tex 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/gdb-4.7.LBL/readline/doc/texinfo.tex 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/groff-1.08/pic/make-dos-dist 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/contrib/mh-6.8.3a/conf/doc/maildelivery.5 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/share/doc/smm/13.amd/texinfo.tex 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/share/doc/usd/08.mh/conf/doc/maildelivery.5 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/cassette/anyboo.cmd 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/cassette/defboo.hk 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/cassette/defboo.ra 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/cassette/defboo.rb 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/cassette/defboo.rl 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/cassette/defboo.up 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/cassette/hkmboo.cmd 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/cassette/hksboo.cmd 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/cassette/ramboo.cmd 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/cassette/rasboo.cmd 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/cassette/rbmboo.cmd 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/cassette/rbsboo.cmd 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/cassette/restar.cmd 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/cassette/rlsboo.cmd 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/cassette/upmboo.cmd 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/cassette/upsboo.cmd 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/consolerl/anyboo.com 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/consolerl/defboo.hk 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/consolerl/defboo.hp 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/consolerl/defboo.ra 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/consolerl/defboo.up 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/consolerl/hkmboo.com 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/consolerl/hksboo.com 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/consolerl/hpmboo.com 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/consolerl/hpsboo.com 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/consolerl/ramboo.com 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/consolerl/rasboo.com 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/consolerl/upmboo.com 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/consolerl/upsboo.com 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/floppy/anyboo.cmd 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/floppy/defboo.hk 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/floppy/defboo.hp 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/floppy/defboo.kra 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/floppy/defboo.ra 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/floppy/defboo.up 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/floppy/hkmboo.cmd 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/floppy/hksboo.cmd 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/floppy/hpmboo.cmd 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/floppy/hpsboo.cmd 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/floppy/ramboo.cmd 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/floppy/rasboo.cmd 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/floppy/restar.cmd 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/floppy/upmboo.cmd 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/sys/vax/floppy/upsboo.cmd 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/usr.bin/pascal/pxp/call.c 4.4BSD-Lite/usr/src/usr.sbin/amd/doc/texinfo.tex
