For the record, I (being said author) refute any and all claims of
plagiarism. Yes, there are some similarities between my book and
APUE. As I've said in the past, they are intentional, imitation
being the sincerest form of flattery. But there are also MANY
differences (my book is almost twice the size of APUE, so there'd
have to be!).
My publisher is aware of Dickey's allegations, and has investigated
the matter. As far as they are concerned, it is a non-issue; and
my book is published by the same company as APUE. So as far as the
copyright holders are concerned, there is no plagiarism; and that's
good enough for me.
Naturally, I reserve the right to persue any legal action I chose
against Dickey, for his slanderous/libellous allegations, and his
tarnishing of my good name and reputation, and any loss of earnings
due to that. So does my publisher...
I guess he's (Dickey) just some Net Kook he enjoys stiring the brown
stuff. Personally, I ignore him.

If he would give a different answer privately, it's not worth repeating.

Your comment about "UNIX folklore" relies upon the assumptiont that there
are many people all saying the same thing. That's absurd of course (I
assume you meant your whole response sarcastically, since it cannot be
taken seriously).

indeed.
What is _your_ role in this?
