Lisp programmers! How could you live without Programmer's Ultimate Security DeskRef? Johan Bockgard found this book, and pointed out the interesting entries on COMPILE ("LISP is an interpreted scripting language. The compile function should be controlled by internal application logic only"), NREVERSE ("This function should never be used to obfuscate data with the goal of protecting it from prying eyes"), and others.

Also, remember that warnings are out of date and should not be used.

But at the same time,..
Should anyone actually mail the Author and tell him how wrong he is about it?
It looks like he see LISP function and look up its meaning in C++ manual, it's dead wrong, he should have remove that whole lisp section from the book.
If the second edition will ever be out.
I don't know how to contact him, though.

I guess they are only distributed by O'Reilly. A shame really.
