Another good text on OS internals is:

	Kenah & Bates, "VAX/VMS Internals and Data Structures", Digital Press,
	816pp, about $55.  Provides an excellent description of the internal
	workings and data structures used by the VAX/VMS operating system.
	Also useful for those using 4.x bsd on VAXen as it must emulate many
	of the parts of VMS in order to run on the VAX hardware.

	NOTE that the current edition was written for version 3.x of VMS.
	It is not yet known when the VMS 4.x version of the book will be
	available.  However, the text is still correct in all areas except
	for some minor changes in the basics of VMS, but contains nothing
	as far as the new security features, volume shadowing, and VAX
	8xxx series machines is concerned.  Even so, it is still a terrific
	book.
