(The author's name escapes me). The title is a little misleading, a good chunk of the book is spend giving a lot of detail on general UNIX concepts apart from networking. -- _______________________________________________ /-\ |_ /-\ |\| Alan Light uunet!tkna!alan Telekurs (North America), Inc.

Since we're on the subject of books... Anyone read _UNIX_System_Architecture_ by Prabhat K. Andleigh (Prentice Hall)? What's its focus? How does it compare to, say, Bach? Inquiring minds want to know. -- -=- =-= -=- =-= -=- =-= -=- -Jim Van Horn uunet!amc-gw!morpho!azar "Where it falls mandrakes grow. That's why they shriek when you pull them up"

Andleigh appeared to be less specific than Bach. Bear in mind that even Bach could not be as specific as I would have liked due to the restricted nature of UNIX(tm) source. You could look at Andleigh as UNIX 101 and Bach as UNIX 301 (IMHO). I will probably pick up Andeigh in the future if only to have a relatively complete library for myself and my co-workers. -- Jim Bacon | "A computer's attention span is Anacom General Corp., CA | only as long as its power cord." jim@anacom1.cpd.com | {dhw68k, lawnet, mbf, zardoz}!anacom1!jim | Anon.

I couldn't take Andleigh's book seriously after noticing that "Architecture" was misspelled on the title pages.
