I have a copy of "A User guide to the UNIX(TM) System" by Thomas/ Yates, which is an adequate introductory level book. Recently I came across a poster which claimed to be from "The Programmer", and it seemed to delve fairly deep into the internals of the UNIX System. Has anyone out there seen "The Programmer Guide" and is it indeed a good text on UNIX internals. Are there any other available texts ??? Your answers will be greatly appreciated; if enough interested is generated, I will summarize and post. Thanx, Ihor Kinal hou5e!ijk P.S. I've recently acquired copies of the books by Bourne and Kernighan/Pike. None have the detail to become a UNIX guru.

P.S. I've recently acquired copies of the books by Bourne and Kernighan/Pike. None have the detail to become a UNIX guru. Silly you. If you think you can become a UNIX guru by reading a book, I'd suggest you try to become a VMS guru instead. But reading these two books (among the best books on UNIX for programmers' use) could help you to become a UNIX guru. The rest has to come from experience. Ian F. Darwin, Toronto
