Author's Bio

Linda Lamb is an editor with O'Reilly & Associates, currently working on a new series of in-depth, consumer health books, Patient Centered Guides. She has worked with O'Reilly for 14 years in various guises, including technical writer, editor of technical books, and marketing manager. vi is still her favorite text editor, by far. It's fast, powerful, and ergonomic. Arnold Robbins, an Atlanta native is a professional programmer and technical author. He has been working with UNIX systems since 1980, when he was introduced to a PDP-11 running a version of Sixth Edition UNIX. He was forced to learn vi around 1983 when his graduate school's VAX UNIX system did not have a port of the locally-written screen editor, and has been using it ever since. He has also been a heavy awk user since 1987, when he became involved with gawk, the GNU project's version of awk. As a member of the POSIX 1003.2 balloting group, he helped shape the POSIX standard for awk. He is currently the maintainer of gawk and its documentation. THe documentation is available fromt he Free Software Foundation (http://ww.gnu.org) and has also been published by SSC (http://www.ssc.com) as Effective AWK Programming. He is also co-author of the second edition of O'Reilly's sed & awk. Since late 1997, he and his family have been living happily in Israel.
