Hi,


        I have it on good authority, ( one of Uncle Don's ex-students )
that Donald Knuth is not only revising "Art of Computer Programming
1,2 & 3" for the year 2000, but that he has retired from lecturing to
continue with books 4 & 5, in 2003 and 2009 respectively. One of these
new tomes will contain much material on compiler writing
techniques. Another book in the compiler writers arsenal ... my copy
of the dragon book is getting worn out.
