[net.unix-wizards] XINU book as a replacement for `The Lions Document'

> Oh well.

I suggest `Operating System Design, The XINU Approach' as a replacement
for `The Lions Document'. I have both here, and find the XINU book
covers most of the concepts needed to understand the UNIX kernel, and
covers them much better than the Lyons document.

Here's the Library of Congress Cataloging in Publication Data:

Comer, Douglas
	Operating System Design, the Xinu approach.

	(Prentice-Hall software series)
	Bibliography: p.
	Includes index.
	1. Xinu (Computer operating system)	2. System design
	I. Title	II. Series

	ISBN 0-13-637539-1

UNIX is a trademark of ATT.
XINU is UNIX spelled backwards.

I recommend a USG document called "Unix Program Description, Program
Generic PG-1C300", if you can legally find it and read it.
