Hi out there. I'm doing a little paper on the history of mach, how it came to be, why it came to be, how it has changed etc. I was hoping that some kind souls out there could help me by pointing me towards some documents or books that may be useful, or by any personal commentary that you may wish to give (particularly any humorous situations or bugs in the early stages). Any and all help appreciated. Thanks in advance. Please mail any info (or post if you like) to: cookson@uwovax.uwo.ca or cookson@gaul.csd.uwo.ca TTFN Mike Cookson

In Proc. of the ACM/IEEE Computer Society, Fall Joint Computer Conference, ACM, Nov. 1986 Accent is a close ancestor of Mach. It is worth considering. You don't need to know more of RIG than what's in this paper. There's an annotated Mach biblio. you can ftp from wb1.cs.cmu.edu in /usr/mach/public/doc -- news <clement Clement Pellerin, McGill University, Montreal, Canada clement@cs.mcgill.ca
