Bill I bought the xinu tape from the same publisher that puts out the book. Call them and they can give you the latest price and particulars. When I received it they only sent it out on a 9 track 1600 BPI tape in tar format. Moreover they required that you have a unix license and provide proof of the same. AS my machine is a Callan which had even then gone out of business I was forced to improvise and provide them with some xerox copy of a licensing agreement with Callan. All of which meant nothing to either party other than they used it to CYA releasing anything which might be copyrightable. I literally made the form up using an old software license from Callan. I can't say I have made any granduse of the code. Actually it was intended for the PDP-11 and I am running a mc68000 on a multi-bus backplace. I'd suggest purchasing the tape outright. The code- I believe is - not copy rightable. And you could have just about anyone provide you with a copy. However, much of the tape was taken up with documentation which is that you may or may not want. have fun jonathan jefferies
