According to the book, UnixWare is a GUI (Graphical User Interface) very much
like X, the MacOS or MS-Windows.  The contents give you a set of instructions
on how to "point and click".  The authors have attempted to associate baseball
imagery by using cute titles and lead-ins to each chapter.

Because of the GUI nature of the material the text is larded with screen shots
and dialogue boxes.  Some appear to be actual screen dumps, most seem to have
been doctored in some way, and a few are obvious simulations.  All look
decidedly odd and a number are illegible.

The reasons for this book escape me.
