OK, maybe it's just me, but if anyone out there knows of a real good, clear book on OS's, particularly Unix or the like, I'd really appreciate hearing about it. OK, I guess this is not the response you want, but I'd recommend, as a real clear, complete and well written book: OPERATING SYSTEMS, design and implementation. By a certain A. S. Tannenbaum. It's not the book I was taught with, but it's the best thing I've seen since I got into this stupid business (August 1977). -- -- John Hughes, 11 rue Castex, F-75004 Paris, FRANCE. bespoke fax publishing systems while-U-wait.
