I just got three Apollos (3500s) and I am supposed to evaluate
them. Is there any thing around like Bach's Book "The Design
of The Unix Operating System". I don't expect a book but maybe
a paper or papers in the public domain? Is there anything public
about NCS? I'll even accept RTFM flames if it tells me where to
look?

Is there any thing around like Bach's Book "The Design >of The Unix Operating System". >..... > Jerry Freedman,Jr There is a new manual which was just released this month, called Domain/OS Design Principles #14962-A00 which discusses topics such as: Origins of Domain/OS (object orientation, dynamic loading, virtual address space layout, known global table, single-level store, user extensibility via the open system toolkit, etc. etc.) Extensions to U*ix Signal Functionality Shared Program Libraries (the Domain/OS Library model) The Input/Output System Extending the U*nix Protection Model with Access Control Lists The Network Computing Architecture and System. Some of this is brand new, other portions are reprints of various papers presented at Usenix or Uniform in the last few years. You can get this through your local sales office, or by calling Instant Apollo at 1-800-225-5290 (sorry, don't know access for our non-USA customers). This was just released last week, there may be some people who have not received their official bulletin on this yet. You are getting the order number straight from the horses ..... well, whatever :-) ...walt... -- Walt Weber Apollo Computer (508) 256-6600 x7165 People's Republic of Massachusetts -The views expressed herein are personal, and not necessarily Apollo's-
