| Review Ra0294 Chaper 12: working with queues.
Full marks. Very good and informative chapter, with really good
instructor comments. I would feel confident in teaching this even with
limited experience. Good structure, relevant examples. The only tiny
remarks I could find is:
It should be pointed out whether it is pointers to files that is
queued, or it is the files themselves that is queued somewhere.

| I found this a BIG read - plenty of information and, like Joss, good
instructor guidance too.
Some nits:
Page 12-6 Figure 12-1: in the termainl session the text appears to be
$ PRINT /QUEUE=LPA0: -
_File: FILE.DAT
for a continued command the prompt would be _$ surely?
(I printed my review copy 2 up so the very small text is difficult to
read).
Page 12-10 bullet 7: "The PRINT places.." -> "The PRINT command
places..."
Page 12-35a End of first paragraph the plural "criteria" should be the
singular "criterion".
Page 12-35 Similar comment to 12-35a
Page 12-40 Last line: There is a stray ")" after LPA0
Page 12-49a Like "...tangential discussions..."!
Page 12-50 Query on the English here...
"(none are automatically created)."
None is short for "not on" so to make this read more smoothly how
about: "(none is created automatically)." That way we don't split the
infinitive either!
