hi!

i discovered the power of PV-WAVE just recently. my question is: how do i
start learning the programming language? is there any good book available?
i tried to search our library for a book on PV-wave but i didn't find any.
even the million-title collections in amazon.com and and
barnesandnoble.com don't have any. i wonder why...

i'll be using the package mainly for processing of AFM images.

Actually, posting simple questions to a large number of newsgroups is
merely the latest phase of the attack. Earlier phases involved questions
posted to a smaller number of groups that were much more carefully
chosen, and he may revert to some variation on that theme after he's
finished this phase.

Noted. Be careful when answering simple questions, and check the
follow-up newsgroup.

Sorry for the noise.

Don't plonk the nominal author of that message. The message was forged.
comp.lang.c is currently under attack from someone who posts messages to
a wide of newsgroups, with follow-ups redirected to c.l.c, with the
intent of provoking responses to disrupt c.l.c. He generally uses some
variant of the names of the people on that newsgroup that he hates most;
my name has the honor of being the most frequently used, followed by
those of Keith Thompson, Richard Heathfield, and Chuck Falconer.

Warning, follow up for original message is set to the C-language
group.
Not good practice, please ploink the author.

The Coyote website is the closest thing we have as a FAQ.
