Yet another good book on UNIX (although probably too advanced for the fork/join/pipe questions) is THE DESIGN OF THE UNIX OPERATING SYSTEM by Maurice Bach, c. 1986, Bell Telephone Laboratories (Prentice-Hall software series). In this book, Bach describes the internal data structures and algorithms of the kernel, and details how these support the user interface. As a Unix programmer who understands most of the system calls fairly well and would like to begin digging at the kernel, I have found this books to be complete and informative. The Advanced UNIX Programming book mentioned earlier is also very good. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark A Johnson - Eastman Kodak Co. - Dept 646 - KEEPS - Rochester, NY 14650 The opinions expressed above are not necessarily those of Eastman Kodak Company and are entirely my responsibility.
