Does anyone know of docs I can get describing the design of the Unix system?

I was looking at a book called 'The Design of the Unix Operating System',
sorry didn't get the publisher or title, if anyone is familiar with the book,
this is the kind of info I'm looking for. I just can't spare $85.00 for the 
book at the moment.

The book is like the title says. Everything is documented, the file system,
time scheduler etc, etc.

From what I see above you are looking for SysV based  OS, right ?  Try
the 'gopher' server of UIUC(univ of urbana-champaign), it has a couple
of  documents under Computer_Documentation/Unix Prg  Manuals/* written
by Dennis Ritchie/Thompson which describe what you specified above.

If you don't have 'gopher' let me know, I will mail you a copy.
