Multics sounds like an interesting OS. Can anybody out in netland
recommend some books, manuals, etc. on the architecture/features of Multics?
Any help is appreciated.
[ I have redirected this discussion away from comp.unix.questions,
since it seems this has little to do with Unix ]

The standard reference work is the book by Elliott Organick, which I think is called "The Multics Timesharing System" or something similar (my copy is at home). Also, Honeywell (I guess its Honeywell-Bull now) puts out a manual called the Multics Programmers Reference Manual (often called the MPM Ref Man).
