A teaser indeed!  In the Nov.-Dec. 1987 issue of ;login: (the USENIX
Association newsletter, if you didn't know), John Quarterman, in a 
book review, references this book:

"The Design and Implementation of the 4.3BSD UNIX Operating System"

Authors are (I'm pretty sure; I'm doing this from memory):
	Sam Leffler
	Mike Karels
	Kirk McKusick
	John Quarterman

The book is (going to be) published by Addison-Wesley, and was dated 1988
in the reference.

I sent mail to John asking for some details, but he hasn't replied yet.

       John is quite busy being he is also writting a book based upon his
CACM article on "Notable Networks".  The BSD book is scheduled to be available
some time in September according to John.  I too had sent him e-mail as soon
as I saw that reference (probably half the planet did too  :-)

By Leffler, McKusick, Karels, Quarterman, scheduled for late 1988 by
Addison-Wesley, who will have a booth at UniForum next week, in case you
want to ask them about it (they might even take orders, I don't know :-).

Thanks for the interest, but if you send me mail (I didn't get Chet Ramey's),
all I will say right now is what Chris did:  ``Patience.''
