edwardm@hpcuhc.HP.COM (Edward McClanahan) (11/15/89)

In case you hadn't seen it and would like an introduction to Mach, Avadis
Tevanian Jr. and Ben Smith have an article in the November '89 Byte magazine
entitled "Mach: The Model For Future Unix".  The article is written in a
fairly introductory style, but does cover the following:

  Great Ideas from a Small Team
  Tasks and Threads
  Ports, Port Sets, and Messages
  The Memory Object
  Virtual Memory
  Open Memory Management
  The Mach Kernel and IPC
  Exception Handling vs. Signal Handling
  System Layers
  OS/2 and Mach
  The Future of Mach

  ...and a sidebar on Mach on the NeXT Cube
