\noindent This is a list of all substantial corrections made to {\sl Computers
\& Typesetting\/} between the first ``Millennium edition'' of 2000 and the
second such edition, which appeared late in 2001.
(More precisely, it lists errors to the 16th, 7th, 6th, 4th, and 5th
printings of Volumes A, B, C, D, and E, respectively, that were corrected
in the 17th, 8th, 7th, 5th, and 6th printings.)
Changes to the mini-indexes
and master indexes of Volumes B, D, and~E are not shown here unless they are
not obviously derivable from what has been shown.

\ddanger If a suitable starting letter is found, let it be in font~$f$.
Hyphenation is abandoned unless the |\hyphenchar| of~$f$ is a number
between 0 and~255, inclusive.
If this test is passed, \TeX\ continues to scan forward
until coming to something that's not one of the following three
``admissible items'': (1)~a character in font~$f$ whose |\lccode|
is nonzero; (2)~a ligature formed entirely from characters of type~(1);
(3)~an implicit kern. The first inadmissible item terminates this part of
the process; the trial word consists of all the letters found in admissible
items. Notice that all of these letters are in font~$f$.
