Yea. But the github version doesn't have the 'appendix' that the Amazon
version has with the listing with the line numbers as corresponding to the

Ditto, (actually I have three -- two copies of the new one to show some
of
the younger engineers at work). Having the text
is wonderful, but it does
seems like a heretical act to be grepping through sources as Tex files;
when the original was in roff.
From the preface:
The co-operation of the ``nroff'' program
must also be mentioned. Without it,
these notes could never have been produced in this form. However it has
yielded some of its more enigmatic
secrets so reluctantly, that the
author's gratitude is indeed mixed.
:-)
At any rate use of the CM fonts is a bit jarring.
Everyone who downloaded these sources for grepping has bought
a paper copy of the Lions book, right?
