Is there a tutorial-type paper available from anyone that explains SYSV ipc and how to use it effectively?? Optimally, some practical examples would be nice. Please mail responses to me and I will Summarize.

"An Advanced Programmer's Guide to UNIX System V", written by Rebecca Thomas, Larry Rogers (me), and Jean Yates and due to be out November 8 so says Osborne-McGraw/Hill, contains a fairly large section (section D if I remember correctly) in Chapter 7 that explains and shows non-trivial examples of the System V Inter Process Communication features. The example is a (relatively) simple distributed database system. I gave a seminar on this topic at UNIFORUM in Dallas and would distribute copies of that talk to all who mail me a note AND AGREE TO BUY THE BOOK when it is available at your local book store. To those who have preconceived ideas about the type and quality of books written by Thomas and Yates, I ask that you at least try this book before dismissing it as yet another T/Y (yaty) creation. I had a significant role in this work and believe that it is written in a style that reflects my background and experience with younecks. My only concern is that some will prejudge it based on the known authors. Maybe I'm wrong.

I attended Larry Rogers' System V IPC seminar at Dallas USENIX and thought he did a nice job. So maybe the book is worthwhile.
