I'm trying to follow-along on page 89 of Robert Morgan's "Building an
Optimizing Compiler" where he is describing the algorithm he has for
detecting single- and multi-entry loops.

He's being a little loose with the data types there - freely mixing
"LoopNodes" and "Blocks", and then I see his pseudo-code references
something called 'Z', in this line:

    LoopEntry(X) = Z;

but - Z doesn't appear to be defined anywhere..

This makes me think I have an older edition - but I couldn't find any
newer printing, and I couldn't find an errata anywhere.

Does anyone pointers to an errata?  Does anyone have contact info for
Mr. Morgan?

     - Thanks! -
   - Dave Rivers -

p.s.  I checked on Amazon - the book is going for more than $450 these
days!  Maybe I should just hold on to my two copies and use them for
my retirement one day!
