Minix? Does AT&T have a deal >>with Prentice-Hall [?] The AT&T "Death Star" does not appear in my 1985 purchase date Comer Volume 1, but does appear in Volume 2, "Internetworking with XINU". Douglas Comer's "Operating System Design: The XINU Approach" apparently did get some support from AT&T. Comer's affiliation on the title page is listed as "Bell Laboratories". The book was typeset at Bell Laboratories, and Comer's introduction concludes with the thanks: Finally, I am indebted to Purdue University and Bell Laboratories for support of the project, and to Bell Laboratories for the excellent typesetting facilities that made this book possible (nowhere near as fun as Andy's comments about computer games, mice and kids). As for Prentice-Hall, the book is listed as "PRENTICE-HALL SOFTWARE SERIES" Brian W. Kernighan, advisor. To digress even further into publishing, what are the numbers on the credits page for? Printing numbers, I assume? Enough of a plug for XINU :-) Now back to our regularly scheduled discussion of PDP/11 memory management. -- Glen Overby uunet!plains!overby (UUCP) overby@plains (Bitnet)
