XWhy couldn't Prentice Hall include a permuted index for their reference
Xmanuals. They are presented in the classic Unix style with a totally
Xinadequate index which is basically the table of contents reformatted. It
Xmakes these books very hard to use.

I glanced at the P-H version, and I noticed that the semaphores man page
talks about "doing semaphores automatically".  In the ATT 5.2 version this
was "automatic semaphores" and in the 5.0 version, it was "atomic semaphores".
People who actually know how semaphores will tell you which is correct.
