Does anyone have any information regarding the internals of the Unix kernel? We are running BSD (AOS) 4.3 in IBM Mode on an RT PC. I am specifically looking for information on things like the user structure, process structure, how segments (data, text, stack) are mapped into memory and how they may be accessed, etc. Please send E-Mail to the above address. Thanks... Henry ************************************ * You call this archaeology???? * ************************************
