From: htoaster@yabbs To: all@yabbs Subject: books Date: Wed Jun 8 12:27:06 1994 I mostly use man pages and whatever cool source I can find on the net. For instance when writing yabbs I learned sockets by poking around in some socket stuff I found on the net (telnetd a lot, other stuff a bit), reading man pages, and for my first intro to them going to the library at school and photocopying a 10 page intro to sockets. I would highly reccomend a copy of "The Design and Implementation of 4.3BSD" though. It is pretty much the only computer book that I've kept in my collection since I've owned it, along with K&R (new testament). If you don't like man pages apparantly O'Reilly is making books of pretty much all of the 4.4BSD man pages, so you might invest in them. Gopher to gopher.ora.com and look around there. alex
