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." -dB -- {amdahl|dual|sun|zehntel}\ |"If his brains ran down, how could {ucbvax|decvax}!mtxinu---->!rtech!daveb |he talk?" ihnp4!{phoenix|amdahl}___/ |"Happens to people all the time...."
