Hi, I'm looking for any references people might know which describe
SUNOS 4.1.3 and its implementation.  I know it is based on Berkeley Unix (BSD)
and shares much in common with that operating system.  I also know there are
a bunch of books out on the implementation of that system.  Does anyone
know of any references which may explain the particulars of SUNOS?  I'm 
looking for information on file system layout, process management (scheduling),
memory management, etc, etc.  I have a complete set of SUNOS manuals but
they really don't seem to contain what I am after.

please e-mail me at: thomasl@mtl.mit.edu since I don't often get a chance
to read the above newsgroups.  Also let me know if this should be posted
to another newsgroup.

thanks very much,
