Last winter (around December, I think) there was some discussion about a book being written called "The Design and Implementation of the 4.3BSD UNIX Operating System"... The authors were Leffler, McKusick, Karels, and Quarterman, it was to be published by Addison-Wesley, and the intended release date was "late 1988"... Has anyone heard anything about this book? Has it been completed yet? Any information anyone has would be greatly appreciated... -- Geordie -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- UUCP: ...uunet!ccicpg!cci632!ritcsh!geordie BITNET: gfkdco@ritvax or ...rochester!ritcv!ritcsh!geordie or gfkdco@ritvm "We close our eyes... and the world has turned around again."

I found a reference to the book in a "forthcoming books" book in the bookstore here (that enough "books" for you? :-), and called Addison-Wesley about it. It's supposed to be out Dec. 15 (hits the streets just in time for Christmas :-). The only other information I found that isn't already known is that it will be 448 pages long. (I also have the ISBN #, but that's at home). More fuel for the rumor mill...
