  Anderson: Chapters 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 32, 33.
        These are mostly material you have already seen, but there may 
        be a few surprises, so go over these chapters carefully.  Be sure
        you know all the concepts and Unix commands in these chapters.
   
  Also from Anderson:

            EITHER Chapter 14 (vi) or Chapter 15 (emacs)
             (You should know all editor commands listed in the chapter
              for the editor you prefer)
  

There will also be some questions reviewing the following material
that was on the first exam (thought the emphasis, say 60-90% of the
questions, will be on the new material)

  All prior lectures and labs    

  Tan and D'Orazio:
        Chapters 1, 2, 3 (excluding Lesson 3.9), 4 up through Lesson 4.7.
        (See Reading Notes for which sections to emphasize).
      
            
A preview of final exam coverage
