I have the dubious job of training a new sys. programmer and though he
has some practical experience, he has had little formal CS training.
I have him reading K & P 's The Unix Prog. Enviorment, but I would like
him to learn more about operating systems in general. My question is: can
anyone recommend a good text on operating systems that might deal with or 
be based on the Unix system ( the system he will be working with ) ?
Thanks in advance.

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."

I may not have the parts of the title right, but:

	Concurrent Euclid, the UNIX operating system, and TUNIS.

	More info forthcoming.
