Yep. 4.4BSD Programmers Ref. is the one I have but there were several. Now out of print. I grabbed the ones I could find - at a place called Computer Book Works on Warren St in lower Manhattan. They also had McKusick's book which I grabbed. Here's the number: Computer Book Works 25 Warren St. NYC Phone: 212-385-1616 Fax: 212-385-8193 E-Mail: bookman@cnct.com I just called, they have one copy of 4.4BSD Programmers Reference left...
