Below is a compilation of references for books on distributed systems,
based on responses I received to a note I posted to this group a while
ago.  Several people expressed interest in seeing the list, so I'm
posting it.  Thanks to the following people who responded:

  Darrell Long
  David Stevens
  Thomas Mookken
  Jack Jansen
  tdw%computer-lab.cambridge.ac.uk@NSS.Cs.Ucl.AC.UK
  David Keppel
  Sacha Krakowiak
  Chandran Elamvazuthi
  Paul Muller

Not all references are complete, but I've included them anyway.  If
anyone comes up with more information for the incomplete ones (or new
references), could you send it to me, and I'll post an update at some
point.

Jennifer Steiner

P.S. Not all of these references fit under my definition
     of "distributed systems".  But that's another topic...
     This is simply a compilation of responses.
