For Dummies Store

Well, if you made it here, you're either totally lost or came here looking for the sample code from Linux Programming For Dummies. If you're one of the latter, you're at the right place. (If you're one of the former, the best I can do is suggest hitting your browser's Back button!)

Follow these steps to download the sample code from the book in one oh-so-conveniently zipped file:

1. Go to the Downloads tab and click the link for the Sample code:

Your computer asks where you want to save the file.

2. Choose a location on your hard drive to download the file to and then click OK.

The compressed file downloads to your hard drive. Depending on whether you have your Web browser set up to automatically extract zipped files, your computer either launches WinZip itself and asks if you'd like to extract the compressed file or you have to start WinZip yourself, locate the file on your hard drive, and extract the files manually.

For more info on WinZip, see www.winzip.com.

3. Extract the text files from the compressed file and do whatever you want with them.

The easiest way to use the sample code is to copy and paste the text from a text file into a compiler or wherever else you want to use it.
