Where might one obtain a copy of the soruces for xinu? (for little
to nothing).
Also keep in mind I do not have access to the Internet via ftp.
I may be able to swing uucp... This is unknown at the moment, as I
have not tried yet. I am a lowly contractor here at IBM, and they
are very tight here with security and the like. I'd even be willing
to send for tapes(cart or reel), floppies, etc... Just tell me where
one goes to find this material.
Thanx in advance.

Well, you might try moseying down to your local tech. book store and picking up a copy of _Operating System Design (Vol I) The XINU Approach_ (There's a PC version and a general version [PDP-11]). It includes the sources for the reader to thoroughly explore the OS and type it in as he/she goes. I just finished the main portion of it (now for the fun part of debugging it [wow!]); I'm not sure when I'll finish that, if at all. For $80 you can purchase sources, executables, and example programs on disk. For a little extra, you might even consider MINIX, or Coherent UNIX (no sources) if you really want to play... ============================================================================== Eric Berggren | "Round and round the while() loop goes; Computer Science/Eng. | Whether it stops," Turing says,
