I've received some requests for the OS references I mentioned in an earlier,
message, so here's the data:

General Texts:
	1. Madnick and Donovan, "Operating Systems," 1974, McGraw-Hill,
640pp, about $25.  This is a classic text and I feel it is quite good.
	2. Shaw, "The Logical Design of Operating Systems," 1974, Prentice-Hall,
300pp, about $20.  This is also a good text and contains a number of
algorithms written in an Algol-like language.

Internals:
	1. Bach, "The Design of the UNIX Operating Systems," 1986 (Bell Labs),
Prentice-Hall, 470pp, about $30.  Outstanding text on the internals of UNIX.
	2. Comer, "Operating System Design: The XINU Approach," 1984 (Bell Labs),
Prentice-Hall, 470pp, about $25.  This is another good book; many algorithms
written in C.

Bonus:
	1. Technical Committee on Operating Systems of the IEEE Computer
Society, "IEEE Trial-Use Standard Portable Operating System for
Computer Environments," (Draft IEEE Standard 1003.1), 1986, Wiley-
Interscience, 200pp, about $20.
	2. "IEEE Trial-Use Standard Specifications for Microprocessor
Operating Systems Interfaces," (Draft IEEE Standard 855), Wiley-Interscience.


	Hope this helps.
