     To get MACH source, you need a 4.3BSD source license from U.C.
Berkeley.  To get a 4.3BSD source license, you need a System 32/V,
or more recent, source license from AT&T.
     This seems a good example of the kind of question that should be
dealt with in comp.unix.questions, not here.  People new to UNIX and
people who are UNIX users, but not UNIX systems programmers/adminis-
trators, really should be paying attention to comp.unix.questions.
They might also find the book of UNIX {trivia, history, practical
info} (sorry, I can't seem to recall the title and the book is at home)
by Don Libes and Sandy Ressler to be a worthwhile addition to their
library.
