| Re (1): I have it sitting here on my desk. The copyright date is 1981,
and in the preface Knuth says "I estimate that about 45 percent of the
book has changed.".

Not quite such close followers if they haven't noticed this book in 16
years! ===> :) <===

Mea culpa. I don't speak with "smilies", so I sometimes forget to write
with them. Here it is: ===> :) <===

| 2045.5 | STAN-CS-79-712 errata | CPEEDY::BRADLEY | Chuck Bradley | Wed Jun 19 1996 14:30 | 10 |
|
The list of errors is available as a Stanford University report,
STAN-CS-79-712 dated Jan 79, titled "The Errata of Computer Programming.
It covers vol 1 & 3, not 2. There was apparently an earlier version,
CS551, May 76. There may be a later version.
The DEC library in the mill used to keep many (perhaps most) of the
Stanford CS reports. Perhaps it is still available, but I could not
find it just now with the DLN software.

| 2045.6 | free copy of errata | CPEEDY::BRADLEY | Chuck Bradley | Mon Jul 15 1996 18:13 | 6 |
|
i ran into the document in .5.
it is a copy of a copy of .... and is barely readable.
i copied the corrections i'm interested in.
if anyone wants it, ask. mfy gets first dibs since he asked the question.

| 2045.7 | motive for original query | FLOYD::YODER | MFY | Thu Jul 18 1996 12:54 | 6 |
| Just so this can (probably) reach closure... my original motive for asking was
that I had found a couple of errors in the section on continued fractions. I'll
eventually get around to getting the newer edition and checking to be sure
they're fixed.
For those whom it might concern: I've taken the dibs offered in .6. :-)
