"An Advanced Programmer's Guide to UNIX System V", written by Rebecca Thomas,
Larry Rogers (me), and Jean Yates and due to be out November 8 so says
Osborne-McGraw/Hill, contains a fairly large section (section D if I remember
correctly) in Chapter 7 that explains and shows non-trivial examples of the
System V Inter Process Communication features.  The example is a (relatively)
simple distributed database system.  I gave a seminar on this topic
at UNIFORUM in Dallas and would distribute copies of that talk to all who
mail me a note AND AGREE TO BUY THE BOOK when it is available at your
local book store.

To those who have preconceived ideas about the type and quality of books
written by Thomas and Yates, I ask that you at least try this book before
dismissing it as yet another T/Y (yaty) creation.  I had a significant
role in this work and believe that it is written in a style that reflects 
my background and experience with younecks.  My only concern is that some
will prejudge it based on the known authors.  Maybe I'm wrong.
