     I am interested in obtaining information regarding UNIX or UNIX-like 
distributed operating systems.  Thus far the major systems known to me 
are: UNIX United and thee Newcastle Connection, LOCUS, Amoeba, V-System,
Eden, Argus, and of course Mach.

[ Don't forget Sprite at Berkeley.  It's very impressive.  I hope one of ]
[ the Spriters will follow up on this.  --DL                             ]

    *NOTE*  There were too many systems to list.  If any system has been
covered in  any of the following then I have information on them:

	"Distributed Operating Systems", Andrew S. Tanenbaum and
	Robbert van Renesse, ACM Computing Surveys, Vol 17, No. 4,
	Dec., 1985

	in any USENIX Conference Proceeding from the Summer, 1984 
	thru Summer, 1987 (inclusive)

	Proceedings: Workshop on Workstation Operating Systems,
	November 5-6, 1987, Cambridge MA

	Proceedings from the Second Workshop on Large-Grained Parallelism,
	November, 1987, Pittsburg PA



      If there are other such systems that I ought to look into, please
send me some e-mail with some references.


Thank You,
