I have the Prentice Hall AT&T System V 386 manuals. In the Administrator's Reference manual the id* commands for reconfiguring the kernel refer to the Programmer's Reference manual section 4. Imagine my suprise! section 4 doesn't have mtune, stune or anything relating to tunable parameters. Do I have a collector's item :-) or are all the Prentice Hall manuals incomplete? Richard A.

I have the Prentice Hall AT&T System V/386 Release 3.2 Admin and Prog Ref manuals. section 4 (in prog ref) definitely does have mtune(4), stune(4) and a few other entries relating to tunable parameters. Either the manuals have are not 3.2 (maybe 3.0?) or they are collector's items!

I suspect David is right. Prentice Hall was out the 3.2 Programmer's Reference Manuals for several months. An ISC UNIX I got last month came with a 3.0 version of the manual. The ISBN (on the back cover) for the 3.2 version is 0-13-944901-9. -- John W. Temples -- john@jwt.UUCP (uunet!jwt!john)
