I'm looking for pointers to intro Berkley UNIX systems programming books.  All
of the books that I have seen so far are for System V.  Any suggestions would
be welcome.

You could do worse than look into "An Intro to BERKELEY UNIX" by Paul
Wang, Pub: Wadsworth, Belmont, CA.
The most relevant chapters being
        6. Writing Shell Scripts
        8. UNIX Programming in C
        9. UNIX System Programming
        11. Program Maintenance  ----actually this should be called 'make'
Also Appendices:
        A.9 System Calls
        A.10. Signals
        A.11 Standard C Library
        A.12. Std IO Library
        A.13 Internetwork Library
Altogether - 12 chapters and 15 (fifteen) appendices, bibliography, Index.
512 pages.

Warning - I haven't used it much since my UNIX is kinda neolythic compared
          to that used in this book.
