	I am also interested in references to the Dynix OS, so I request that
such info may please be *posted* and not email-ed just to the requesting person.

	I have seen a couple of references to Dynix. One is in the May 1989
issue of IEEE Software. The other is in the Winter 1987 Usenix proceedings.
Both articles are, I think, by Bob Beck and Dave Olien of Sequent. Any body
knows of any other references ?

[ How about Srinivas volunteering to collect all of the references and post ]
[ an edited summary?  This should help the signal/noise ratio.  --DL        ]

	Thank you.
