  An introduction to ANSI C on UNIX
Wang P., Wadsworth Publ. Co., Belmont, CA, 1992.  Type: Book (9780534142322)

It is the last appropriate time to write a new book about ANSI C--the next edition should be about ANSI C++ and should come out this year. C++ is better than Smalltalk because it enables object-oriented programming but does no...

  The Helios parallel operating system (revised ed.)
, Prentice Hall International (UK) Ltd., Hertfordshire, UK, 1991.  Type: Book (9780133812374)

The original UNIX ran on a single-processor minicomputer isolated from the rest of the world. Its grandchild Helios runs on distributed-memory MIMD machines, typically a network of Inmos transputers. Helios can also manage i860, the 68...

  Electronic mail
Radicati S., McGraw-Hill, Inc., New York, NY, 1992.  Type: Book (9780070511040)

Perhaps you are a computer professional familiar with networking in general, or have read about electronic mail here and there. If you are trying to clarify the overall picture, search no further--you have found the right book...

  The Oberon system: user guide and programmer’s manual
Reiser M., ACM Press, New York, NY, 1991. 350 pp.  Type: Book (9780201544220), Reviews: (4 of 4)

I agree that Oberon itself became an additional subject of myreview. The rebuttal challenges only that part of it, so I conclude thatthe author agrees fully with the remaining 40 percent of my review,which deals with the book. Therefor...

  MVS/JCL
Gargiulo G., QED Information Sciences, Inc., Wellesley, MA, 1991.  Type: Book (9780894354021)

The more repellent a theme, the more difficult it is to write a textbook about it. This JCL cookbook is for COBOL programmers who have learned about IBM mainframe operating systems in college, and even remember the general concepts, bu...

  Upgrading to MS-DOS 5
Underdahl B., Que Corp., Indianapolis, IN, 1991.  Type: Book (9780880226738)

I remember my great surprise when I first learned that a program on an IBM mainframe vanishes after every break. The growing use of terminate-and-stay-resident programs brings the hope that developers of future versions of MS-DOS will ...

  The Oberon system: user guide and programmer’s manual
Reiser M., ACM Press, New York, NY, 1991. 350 pp.  Type: Book (9780201544220), Reviews: (1 of 4)

Three boxed “golden references”--a quote fromEinstein and descriptions of the concepts of “text” and“tool”--add a humorous touch to this book’sintr...

  DOS 4: a complete course
Curtin D. (ed), Prentice-Hall, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ, 1990.  Type: Book (9780132190640)

In seven chapters, this textbook covers starting the computer, formatting diskettes, filestore administration, the hierarchical directory structure for hard disks, using pipes, managing file contents (including batch, autoexec, and con...

  The Performance Implications of Thread Management Alternatives for Shared-Memory Multiprocessors
Anderson T., Lazowska E., Levy H. IEEE Transactions on Computers 38(12): 1631-1644, 1989.  Type: Article

Threads have become so common in recent years that an analysis and comparison of methods was needed. The authors begin by discussing the concept and usage of threads, with references to their presence in contemporary programming langua...

  The Helios operating system
, Prentice-Hall, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ, 1989.  Type: Book (9789780133860047)

It seems to me that this book, which brings UNIX to the world of Inmos’s transputers, is really a system specification published in book form, rather than a comprehensive book on Helios. The text mentions another manual, name...
