GNU Radius: A Reference Manual
By Sergey Poznyakoff
1-882114-69-8
$25.00, 188 pages
Perfect bound, trade paper
Publication Date: September 2003
Subject: Networking protocols

Master all the customizable features that make GNU Radius great!
Design your own authentication and accounting tables with no
restrictions. Communicate with MySQL, PostgreSQL, ODBC and
non-standard Radius servers. Choose your authentication scheme from
the many options available.  Use on a single server or run a whole
ISP.  This manual only assumes basic UNIX-like system and networking
knowledge, and no previous knowledge of the Radius protocol.

SALES NOTE: O'Reilly's "Radius" book is about a different program for
the same protocol, so these two titles are complementary, not mutually
exclusive.  They will also make a stronger presence when shelved
together in the general networking section.

Using GCC: The GNU Compiler Collection Reference Manual for GCC v. 3.3.1
By Richard M. Stallman and the GCC Developer Community
1-882114-39-6
$45.00, 432 pages
Lay flat, trade paper
Publication Date: September 2003
Subject: C Compilers

The definitive reference manual for the most widely used compiler in
the world, written by the program's original author and its current
developers.  Learn how GCC supports language standards and extends
support beyond them; how to fine-tune programs for your specific
platform; and all the Objective-C runtime features. Also contains the
complete list of GCC command options, and shows many features of GCC's
language support. For intermediate-level and above programmers who
know either C, C++ or Objective C.

SALES NOTE: This book is for the major new version of GCC 3.3
released in August.  It is an exhaustive reference work, and not a
tutorial; the back cover has a note warning the buyer.  This is
complementary to the McGraw-Hill Osborne Media book published last
year, and to the upcoming APress title, which are both tutorials.
