First there are the articles in /usr/doc and those in both BSTJ's ('78
and '84).  Doug Comer's 'Xinu' book and the 'Concurrent Euclid, Unix &
Tunis' book are good and generally available, but not as directly
relevant.

The best one is Lion's 'Commentary on the Unix Operating System,' which
is an annotated/explained set of source code for V6.  This requires a
source license and is even then not easy to find.

Of course, if you are a source licensee, some net wag suggested going
directly to the "documentation in /usr/src."
