Each item has a little historical background (if appropriate), a conceptual overview, and some technical detail on operations. Due to limitations of space, the technical material is generally high level, although some papers contain programs (in C) as examples and explanations. After an introduction to the book, nine chapters cover UUCP (UNIX to UNIX CoPy), the Internet's TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol), NFS (Network File System) and RPC (Remote Procedure Calls), streams, TLI (Transport Layer Interface), RFS (Remote File System), LAN Manager/X (tying MS- DOS and OS/2 into UNIX LANs). The final two chapters cover the X and NeWS windowing systems. This book is useful either as a reference to UNIX networking structure that you do not use every day, or as a basic (but technical) introduction to the whole field. copyright Robert M.
