While the posting was perhaps a bit excessive, I can not fault Dr. Tanenbaum excessively. For I do not read comp.sources.d, but was very pleased to see the note. In fact, the only one I saw was the one posted here. And I know that one of my co-workers was equally pleased -- we both stopped by a local B. Dalton and placed orders for the book. I think people should thank Dr. Tanenbaum, instead. Although commercial plugs are not generally appropriate here, the package he told us about is incredible. If one gives him credit for putting out a *good* UNIX.... Try to get the sources code from AT&T for $80, complete with permission to give it to a few friends..... Heck -- try to get the source code for ANY large piece of software... -- UUCP: ihnp4!rosevax!dayton!joe Joe Larson ATT : (612) 375-3537 Dayton Hudson Department Store Company (standard disclaimer...) 700 on the Mall Mpls, Mn. 55408
