i saw a whole flock of requests for Xinu go by on unix-sources/net.sources
a while back, but nobody bothered to say just what it was.  What is the
book to which you refer?  Please also give us a high-points description
of Xinu and maybe some comparisons to other common OSs, so that we might
dispense with the book if it's really ugly.
