I agree, trying to read the man pages isn't much help when you don't already know generally how things work. This paper was a big help to me. "Tutorial Examples of Interprocess Communication in Berkely UNIX 4.2bsd", Stuart Sechrest, Report No. UCB/CSD 84/191, PROGRES Report No. 84.9, June, 1984. and it can be obtained from UCB for a nominal charge ( <$5 as I recall): Computer Science Division (EECS) University of California Berkeley, California 94720 They also have a whole list of other published papers having to do with Unix (and many not real connected with Unix). I imagine they'd send you a list, too. -King ARPA: ables@mcc.arpa UUCP: {gatech,ihnp4,nbires,seismo,ucbvax}!ut-sally!im4u!milano!mcc-pp!ables --- All things considered, insanity may be the only reasonable alternative.
