While the posting was perhaps a bit excessive, I can not fault Dr.
Tanenbaum excessively.  For I do not read comp.sources.d, but was
very pleased to see the note.  In fact, the only one I saw was the
one posted here.  And I know that one of my co-workers was equally
pleased -- we both stopped by a local B. Dalton and placed orders
for the book.

I think people should thank Dr. Tanenbaum, instead.  Although
commercial plugs are not generally appropriate here, the package
he told us about is incredible.  If one gives him credit for putting
out a *good* UNIX....  Try to get the sources code from AT&T for
$80, complete with permission to give it to a few friends.....  Heck --
try to get the source code for ANY large piece of software...
