O'Reilly also sells a complete 4.4BSD manual set, though that's of more limited utility. After that, I recommend you start reading source code. Digging into the source to solve problems is a lot of work, but it has a much greater guarantee of positive results than any other method. cjs -- Curt Sampson curt@portal.ca Info at http://www.portal.ca/ Internet Portal Services, Inc.
